Audi A1 Sportback S line introduced to model range

This new variant starts from just R549 900, offering stronger value while maintaining the quality expected of an Audi.


The Audi A1 remains one of Audi South Africa’s top-selling models, reflecting strong demand in the compact segment and its importance within the local portfolio.

With the introduction of the S line derivative, Audi is building on this momentum by expanding the A1 offering and enhancing the S line proposition with a more compelling balance of specification and price while maintaining a clear progression across the line-up.

Continued refinement

As the Audi A1 approaches the final phase of its lifecycle, the introduction of the S line derivative ensures the range is supported through this stage with a well-balanced offering.

This addition forms part of Audi South Africa’s portfolio lifecycle strategy, which sees model ranges continuously refined to align with customer expectations and market dynamics.

“The Audi A1 remains one of our top-selling models in the local market and maintaining that momentum is a key focus for us,” says Markus Schuster, head of Audi South Africa.

“With the S line derivative, we are responding to this demand by strengthening the value proposition within the range, while continuing to offer the S line design and features our customers value.”
