{At the|On the} Shanghai auto {show|present} {last|final} month the world's {car|automobile|automotive} manufacturers {were|had been|have been} at hand to showcase their {latest|newest} {innovations|improvements}. Audi was {also|additionally} there {to help|to assist} promote {more|extra} of its {models|fashions} to the Chinese, {at the moment|for the time being|in the intervening time|in the mean time|in the meanwhile} half of all Audi A6 {models|fashions} produced are {sold|bought|offered} in China. The German {firm|agency} is {trying|attempting|making an attempt} {to promote|to advertise} {cars|automobiles|vehicles} like its new Q3 compact {sports|sports activities} utility {vehicle|automobile|car} and the Audi A3 in Southampton. {According to|Based on|In accordance with|In keeping with|In line with|In response to} {research|analysis} {firm|agency} Dunne & Co. {The majority of|Nearly all of|The vast majority of} if not {all of the|all the|the entire} A6's {sold|bought|offered} in China {were|had been|have been} black {versions|variations} with {windows|home windows} tinted darker than welding glass. The A6 has {become|change into|develop into|grow to be|turn into|turn out to be} the {car|automobile|automotive} of {choice|alternative|selection} for {government|authorities} officials and {company|firm} bosses. The Audi A6's {status|standing} is such that in Beijing, the {importance|significance} of {government|authorities} {meetings|conferences} can {sometimes|generally|typically} be gauged by counting {how many|what number of} A6s are parked {outside|exterior|outdoors}. The A6's {status|standing} comes {down to|all the way down to|right down to} Audi being {one of|certainly one of|considered one of|one among|one in all|one in every of} {the first|the primary} premium manufacturers to enter the Chinese {car|automobile|automotive} market.
{The center|The middle} console is inclined {slightly|barely} {toward|towards} the driver; the {four|4} {round|spherical} air vents are {reminiscent of|harking back to|paying homage to} jet engines. The console on {the center|the middle} tunnel is {reminiscent of|harking back to|paying homage to} the rear of a {sailing|crusing} yacht. The intuitively {simple|easy} controls are a {classic|basic|traditional} Audi {strength|energy|power}, as is the {high|excessive}-{quality|high quality} workmanship. Numerous lovingly designed {details|particulars}, such {as the|because the} {precise|exact} {click|click on} of the knobs for the air conditioner or the stitching on the {leather|leather-based} steering wheel, illustrate the premium character of the A1 Sportback. The A1 Sportback comes {standard|commonplace|customary|normal} with {four|4} seats; a fifth seat is {optional|elective|non-compulsory|non-obligatory|optionally available}. {They provide|They supply} a sportily low seating {position|place} and good {support|assist|help}. Headroom and shoulder room have {each|every} been {increased|elevated} roughly one centimeter (0.39 in) {compared|in contrast} with the three-door sister {model|mannequin}. All {four|4} {doors|doorways} {offer|provide|supply} ample storage. Cup holders and a 12V outlet are {standard|commonplace|customary|normal}, with a storage {package|bundle|package deal} {available|accessible|obtainable|out there} as an {option|choice|possibility}. The luggage compartment of the A1 Sportback has a {capacity|capability} of 270 liters (9.{53|Fifty three} cu ft). Folding down the {split|break up|cut up} rear seat {increases|will increase} this to 920 liters (32.{49|Forty nine} cu ft).
The L-{shaped|formed}, deeply retractable head restraints {do not|don't} {have to|must|need to|should} be {removed|eliminated} {to do this|to do that}. The loading lip is a comfortably low {66|sixty six} centimeters (25.98 in). The {optional|elective|non-compulsory|non-obligatory|optionally available} luggage compartment {package|bundle|package deal} makes loading {even more|much more} {practical|sensible}, with usefully divided storage compartments {under|below|beneath|underneath} the loading {floor|flooring|ground} and {other|different} amenities. Powerful and {efficient|environment friendly}: the drivetrain. The Audi A1 Sportback {is available|is accessible|is obtainable|is offered|is on the market|is out there} with a {choice|alternative|selection} of six {four|4}-cylinder engines: three TFSI and three TDI {units|items|models}. {All of the|All the|The entire} engines {follow|comply with|observe} the downsizing {principle|precept} - they substitute {forced|compelled|pressured} induction for displacement and draw their {fuel|gas|gasoline} {through|by|by means of|by way of|via} direct injection {units|items|models}. All {versions|variations} {except|besides} the 1.6 TDI with S tronic and {the most|essentially the most|probably the most} {powerful|highly effective} gasoline engine are {equipped|geared up|outfitted} with a {start|begin}-{stop|cease} system. {The base|The bottom} engine, the 1.2 TFSI, produces {63|sixty three} kW (86 hp). Particularly {effective|efficient} thermal {management|administration} contributes to its low {fuel|gas|gasoline} consumption of 5.1 liters per {100|a hundred|one hundred} km (46.12 US mpg). {The two|The 2} 1.4-liter TFSI engines produce {90|ninety} kW (122 hp) and 136 kW (185 hp). {The top|The highest}-of-the-line gasoline engine is supercharged and turbocharged, {resulting in|leading to} 250 Nm (184.39 lb-ft) of torque, a zero-to-{100|a hundred|one hundred} km/h (62.14 mph) time of 7.{0|Zero} seconds and a {top|high|prime} {speed|pace|velocity} of 227 km/h (141.05 mph).
Three TDI {units|items|models} {round|spherical} out the lineup. The 1.6-liter engine {is available|is accessible|is obtainable|is offered|is on the market|is out there} in two {different|completely different|totally different} {versions|variations}, with {66|sixty six} kW ({90|ninety} hp) and 77 kW (105 hp). When paired with a {manual|guide|handbook} transmission, {both|each} {versions|variations} {consume|devour|eat} {just|simply} 3.{8|Eight} liters of {fuel|gas|gasoline} per {100|a hundred|one hundred} km (61.{90|Ninety} US mpg) on {average|common}, which corresponds to {only|solely} {99|ninety nine} grams of CO2/km (159.33 g/mile). The 105 kW (143 hp) 2.{0|Zero} TDI to {follow|comply with|observe} later accelerates the A1 Sportback to {100|a hundred|one hundred} km/h (62.14 mph) in 8.5 seconds, {yet|but} its {average|common} {fuel|gas|gasoline} consumption is {just|simply} 4.1 liters of {fuel|gas|gasoline} per {100|a hundred|one hundred} km (57.37 US mpg). The transmission {also|additionally} underscores the {high|excessive}-tech character of the A1 Sportback and its {special|particular} {position|place} {in the|within the} compact {segment|phase|section}. Audi {offers|affords|gives|presents|provides} the seven-{speed|pace|velocity} S tronic as an {option|choice|possibility} with the 1.{4|Four} TFSI with {90|ninety} kW (122 hp) and 1.6 TDI with {66|sixty six} kW ({90|ninety} hp); it comes {standard|commonplace|customary|normal} with {the top|the highest} TFSI {model|mannequin} with 136 kW (185 hp).
The {dual|twin}-clutch transmission shifts comfortably, {extremely|extraordinarily} {quickly|rapidly|shortly} and with no perceptible interruption to the {flow|circulate|circulation|move|movement|stream} of {power|energy}. {The two|The 2} clutches {do not|don't} {need|want} a separate oil {supply|provide}, making the S tronic {even more|much more} {efficient|environment friendly}. The driver can let the seven-{speed|pace|velocity} S tronic, which {also|additionally} {includes a|features a} hill hold {assist|help}, shift {automatically|mechanically|robotically|routinely} or {control|management} it manually. Shift paddles on the steering wheel {are available|can be found} as an {option|choice|possibility}. The {manual|guide|handbook} transmissions - with a {five|5}-{speed|pace|velocity} or six-{speed|pace|velocity} gearbox {depending|relying} on the engine - {also|additionally} {offer|provide|supply} {the perfect|the proper|the right} {combination|mixture} of sportiness and {efficiency|effectivity}. Sporty and stable: the chassis. Whether in {the city|the town|town}, on an interurban {road|highway|street} or on the {highway|freeway} - the A1 Sportback is {always|all the time|at all times} {great|nice} {fun|enjoyable} to drive. The {front|entrance} suspension is a McPherson {construction|building|development}; a torsion beam axle is used {in the|within the} {back|again}. {The weight|The burden|The load} distribution is in {perfect|excellent|good} harmony with the {front|entrance}-wheel drive system. The chassis is tuned for agility. {It is|It's} even sportier {in the|within the} Ambition trim line and {more|extra} dynamic {again|once more} with the S line sport suspension. The Attraction trim line {includes|consists of|contains} 15-inch steel wheels, {while|whereas} the Ambition comes with 16-inch alloy wheels (1.{4|Four} TFSI with 136 kW (185 hp) comes {standard|commonplace|customary|normal} with 17-inch wheels).
