The new Audi A1 has been causing quite a stir since its debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, and now Audi’s smallest model has picked up the coveted What Car? Car of
the Year 2011 award. It was a fantastic night for Audi’s premium subcompact hatchback, which also took home the Best Supermini gong.
Steve Fowler, Editor-in-Chief of What Car? commented The Audi A1 is a brilliant car brilliantly targeted and brilliantly executed. More and more buyers are looking for smaller, more efficient cars, but with all the luxury trappings of much larger cars. That’s exactly what Audi has given them – a super-stylish, high quality small car that’s affordable and great fun, too.

Jeremy Hicks, Director of Audi said the combination of exceptional build quality, premium finishes, affordable running costs and class-leading value retention are what make the Audi A1 so sought after.
The UK’s national launch of the A1 on November 13th was unsurprisingly a star studded event. The Audi A1 Drive Away saw celebrity drivers and guests take an en-masse test drive of the new city friendly A1 from London’s Battersea Power Station.
