In the face of this offensive, the Audi A1 has not stood idly by, and recently benefited from a power boost. But there's more: it now has a very exclusive trim on the international market.
Under the name Urban Chic, the car features special seats, specific bumpers and sports suspension. It is distinguished by 17-inch blacked-out wheels with five arms, a black styling package and interior trim in mint satin silver.
