If you think there is no way Audi could make a crossover that is smaller than the Q2, you are wrong. The German manufacturer is working on a new entry-level crossover, which will come as the 2021 Audi Q1. Those are the latest reports we are getting from this company, which has been pretty busy with crossover in the past several years. There is the new flagship Q8 model, as well as the new Q4, while the company is also working on a completely new all-electric crossover.

When it comes to the 2021 Audi Q1, it’s not hard to presume that it will feature plenty of similarities with the recently redesigned A1. Count on the same mechanics, as well as a lot of similarities in terms of the styling. Also, the engine lineup should be pretty much the same, as well as the cabin and features. The new model should arrive by the end of 2020.

2021 Audi Q1 Design

When it comes to base design characteristics, this will be the smallest crossover in the company’s lineup. As we’ve already mentioned, it will have many things in common with the hatchback counterpart, the A1. The A1 has been redesigned last year and it comes with a completely new design and loads of new technologies. It is a typical small city car, which measures less than 101 inches in wheelbase.

The 2021 Audi Q1 will ride on the same version of the modular MQB platform and feature pretty much the same overall dimensions. It will be slightly higher and could become a little bit longer. Still, the overall proportions should remain pretty much the same. Count on notably higher ground clearance and some suspension upgrades as well.

Styling

When it comes to the styling, a great thing about the manufacturer from Ingolstadt is that it’s so easy to predict how new models will look like. This company holds strickly to its styling philosophy, so all models look very similar. Naturally, the 2021 Audi Q1 will have most things in common with the new A1. Moreover, we expect even more similarities with the A1 Citycarver, which is already a crossover-ish version of this small hatch. It comes with higher ground clearance, lots of black plastic details and similar things that are typical for crossovers.

The 2021 Audi Q1 should come in a pretty similar way. Count on the nearly identical front end, which possible small tweaks to the bumper, while the ground clearance should be higher for a couple of more inches. Also, the rear end should be a little bigger and feature a little bit different roofline, which would provide more cargo space and headroom in the second row. Still, these modifications definitely won’t be drastic.

Interior

When it comes to the interior design, the 2021 Audi Q1 should be a typical copycat. We count on the same cabin we can find in the A1, with an identical dashboard and the rest of the interior. That’s not a bad thing at all. Moreover, this small hatchback features a pretty nice interior, with quality materials and pretty elegant styling. The dashboard is also pretty functional, with very good ergonomics. Also, there are loads of tech goodies, including the latest touchscreen interface with smartphone integration. The famous digital instrument cluster should be available in higher trim levels.

When it comes to the interior space, keepin mind that this will be a supermini-based crossover, so the second row willprobably be pretty tight, while the cargo area won’t be very generous. On theother side, the front row should be quite spacious and comfortable for allkinds of journeys.

2021 Audi Q1 Engines

When it comes to the powertrain, we may expect similar powertrain lineup to the A1’s one. This means that the offer will probably start with a small 1.0-liter turbo three-cylinder engine, though we presume that the crossover will skip the base version of the engine and come only with the more powerful variant, which is good for about 115 horsepower. The engine offer should also include a 1.5-liter turbo-four, which delivers around 150 horsepower. Finally, there is the most powerful version which should come with a 2.0-liter turbo-four, which delivers 200 horsepower.

All models should come with the S Tronic automatic transmission, while some of the versions should be available with manual transmission too.

2021 Audi Q1 Release Date and Price

We still don’t have the exact information about the launch date, but we have no doubt that the 2021 Audi Q1 will hit the market by the end of the year. When it comes to the price, we presume that base models will go somewhere between 23.000 and 25.000 dollars.

It's all you love about the new A1 plus a few inches of ground clearance.

We knew it was coming but we were tentatively calling it the A1 Allroad. However, Audi debuts its smallest crossover to date introducing the A1 Citycarver moniker and describing it as the “most progressive” model in the A1 lineup that feels at home “in the city, on country roads and highways, and even on slightly rough terrain.”

Research

Based on the A1 Sportback, the new high-riding hatchback from Ingolstadt is 4.04 meters long (13.3 feet) and features a lifted suspension with 35 mm (2.0 inches) of additional ground clearance. Larger wheels compared to the standard versions, starting at 16 inches and going up to 18 inches, add to a few more millimeters to the suspension height.

The exterior design features traditional off-road tweaks such as additional aluminum body cladding, redesigned wheel arches and side sills in contrasting black color, and a distinctive Singleframe radiator grille, sending strong Q vibes. Audi will sell you the A1 Citycarver in nine body colors with two contrasting roof options available.

As far as the interior is concerned, it’s everything we love about the new A1’s cabin combined with additional trim decorations for the air vents, center tunnel console, and door cards. The new accents are in mint, copper, orange or silver-gray hues. A total of four equipment levels will be available – basic, advanced, design selection, and S-Line.

Audi doesn’t reveal details about the powertrains of its new high-riding offering. However, sharing its mechanical underpinnings with the A1 Sportback means the new A4 CityCarver will most likely be powered by a 1.4-liter four-cylinder turbo engine with 200 horsepower (147 kilowatts). A base three-cylinder unit with 95 hp (75 kW) is also available for the regular A1 but we have no confirmation whether it will be offered for the entry-level crossover, too.

A1 Crossover 2020

The German automaker will kick off sales of the new A1 Citycarver in Europe from August this year with first deliveries scheduled for the fall of 2019. At market launch, customers from the Old continent will be able to buy an Edition One model with special visual touches. Pricing information is not available yet.
