The A1 is Audi's premium supermini, sold mainly in Europe. The first generation (8X, 2010 to 2018) uses 1.2- and 1.4-liter TFSI and TDI engines. The second generation (GB, from 2018) uses 1.0-, 1.5- and 2.0-liter TFSI engines.


Your 2026 Audi A1 is from the second-generation A1 (GB), which covers model years 2019–2026. It is the last model year of this generation and includes the running changes made during production, which is why a manual for the exact year matters.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2026 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “T”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At less than a year old, a 2026 vehicle mostly needs scheduled maintenance, software and battery checks, and correct procedures for the newer electronic systems (ADAS sensors, calibrations and module programming).
Same generation: 2019 Audi A1, 2020 Audi A1, 2021 Audi A1, 2022 Audi A1, 2023 Audi A1, 2024 Audi A1, 2025 Audi A1.
