by SpeedLux

Audi has recently confirmed its plans to build an entry-level crossover soon.

Set to go into production phase in 2016, the Q1 will be an attractive crossover that will be built in Ingolstadt, Germany. The company did not reveal further details but the teaser image shows the model will be a five-door crossover with features that include angular styling, plastic body cladding, prominent grille, distinctive headlights and muscular fenders. There have been previous reports that have indicated that it could be based on the Volkswagen Polo and measure 3.8 meters (12.4 feet) long.

Engine options also remain unconfirmed but again speculations suggest there could be a 1.4-liter TFSI, a 1.4-liter TDI and a range-topping SQ1 rated at 231 HP (170 kW). There could also be a hybrid variant, with a 1.2-liter petrol engine and a electric motor rated at 109 HP (80 kW), but again nothing is confirmed as of yet.

Audi Chairman Rupert Stadler said that the Audi Q1 was part of their broad-based SUV strategy. It was designed on the basis of the modular transverse engine concept and will round off their Q series at the bottom end.
