SPIED: Audi A1 facelift borrows new looks from S1

Audi A1 facelift 21

Our Euro spies have caught the facelifted Audi A1 undergoing testing – these shots divulge that the three-door hatch, due next year, does indeed get the sharper headlamps and tail lamps with new graphics you saw on the Audi S1 in Geneva.

The baby Audi now sports a redesigned front bumper that holds reshaped fog lamps. Front grille and rear bumper are slightly different, too – the former is now more angular; the latter incorporating slimmer reflectors on a more pronounced ‘lip’.

Some light tweaks are expected for the engines – reports speculate updated 1.2 and 1.4 TFSI units, plus a new 1.8 TFSI to replace the 185 PS twin-charged 1.4. Of course, there’ll be a five-door Sportback version too.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.
