Depending on the equipment line - basic, advanced or S line - the attachments on the exterior are available in various configurations. The black styling package sets additional accents. By offering the lines 'Interior advanced', 'Interior design selection' and 'Interior S line', Audi is additionally affording customers numerous possibilities to select colours and materials accordingly.

In the top configuration, MMI navigation plus offers a 10.1-inch MMI touchscreen. In conjunction with Audi connect, MMI navigation plus offers A1 Sportback drivers functions such as hybrid route guidance.

Also standard is the speed limiter, as well as Audi pre sense front. The adaptive speed assist, which is also radar-based, keeps the Audi A1 Sportback at the desired distance from the vehicle ahead. The new Audi A1 Sportback also offers various systems to make parking easier. For the first time, there is a reversing camera in addition to the rear parking system.

Dynamic packages, individually configured for every engine version, bundle equipment options to give the A1 Sportback an even sportier trim.
For the entry-level gasoline engine, the 'Basic' dynamic package includes a sport suspension, red brake calipers and larger brake discs.
