The small Audi A1 will not have & agrave; an heir and therefore at the end of its life cycle it will be retired. The confirmation comes from the CEO of the German brand Audi, Markus Duesmann , in a long interview with Automotive News Europe.
We know that we offer combustion engines in the segments more & ugrave; small in the future will be & agrave; rather difficult because & eacute; costs will increase.
The announcement was actually expected. Several car manufacturers are deciding to & quot; quit & quot; their most popular models small for cost reasons. To make the engines of these vehicles in line with the regulations on emissions more and more; stringent & egrave; not very convenient from an economic point of view . In addition, customer preferences today are shifting towards crossover and SUV models. This is also demonstrated by the fact that the sales of the & quot; small & quot; A1 have dropped over the last few years. As a result, car manufacturers are forced to focus only on specific models.
It is not; clear when the House of the 4 rings will decide to retire his A1. It is possible that it may take a few more years since the latest generation debuted in 2018. All that remains is to wait for further news; on this front even if the fate of the A1 already appears; marked.
FOCUS ON ELECTRICAL
In the past there was talk that the Audi A1 could be replaced by an electric model. On this front there are no news; even if already; we know that a & quot; small model & quot; battery for the Volkswagen Group will be & agrave; built in Spain since 2025. On the electrification front, the CEO of Audi highlighted that will not be sought; to push on the sales of the Plug-in versions as this technology is; seen only as a bridge to mobility; electric.
The German brand, in fact, aims to switch to 100% electric models as soon as possible. In this regard, it is recalled that from 2026 Audi will launch & agrave; on the market only new electric cars with the aim of ceasing sales of endothermic engines by 2033 (except in China). Finally, Duesmann confirmed that at the Munich Motor Show we will see the Grand Sphere concept that will allow & agrave; to take a look at the design of the brand's future electric vehicles.
