2025 Audi A1, Q2 and Q3 get limited edition S line treatment
Audi Australia has launched limited edition versions of the A1 hatchback and Q2 and Q3 crossover SUVs, which the automaker says offer as much as $7000 of value for a lower cost. Named as 'Edition' models – although Audi hasn't disclosed how many of each will be available for customers – the three limited-run models are in Australian showrooms now. While not touted as end of financial year (EOFY) specials, a release from the automaker said, 'With EOFY fast approaching, the timing is perfect for customers to take advantage of the significant added value these upgrades represent for only modest increases in price over the models on which they are based.' Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Audi A1 The Audi A1 35 TFSI S line Edition is priced at $41,800 before on-road costs – a $2600 premium over the standard S line but, according to Audi, boasting $7000 worth of additional equipment. The additional gear includes a black-themed exterior with black 17-inch 'polygon' alloy wheels, black grille surround and front badging – while there's an S line exterior front and rear bumpers, side sills and a more aggressive roof-mounted rear spoiler. It features adaptive LED headlights and LED tail lights, while the rear hatch badges have been removed. All examples get a Mythos Black roof and mirror caps, but there are no changes inside, where 'Derby' fabric upholstery is standard. Leather upholstery is an additional $1500 option, while a $1000 Comfort package adds heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and colour-adjustable ambient lighting. Audi Q2 The Audi Q2 35 TFSI S line Edition is priced at $50,990 before on-road costs, which Audi says includes $7000 of value for an additional $1500. The Edition also sees an S line exterior offered on a Q2 SUV for the first time and brings 19-inch 'Y-spoke' alloy wheels with a gloss black finish, along with S line front and rear bumpers, side skirts and rear spoiler. Among the five colour choices, Daytona Grey has been made available – another first for the Q2 in Australia. The grille surround, Audi rings, mirror caps and window trim are finished in black, as is the Q2's C-pillar 'blade', while there's an S line badge now on the front guards. A $2150 Comfort package available on the S line edition brings heated front seats, heated and power-folding exterior mirrors, rear privacy glass, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, semi-autonomous parking assist, and a 180W Audi Sound System. Audi Q3 The Q3 35 TFSI S line Edition is $58,500 before on-road costs, with a Q3 Sportback 35 TFSI S line Edition $62,000 before on-road costs. Both prices are $1000 more than the standard versions but add a claimed $5000 worth of value for the SUV and $3500 for the Sportback. The S line package is already standard on the Sportback, but the Edition sees it fitted to a Q3 SUV for the first time – adding unique bumpers, side sills and a rear spoiler. The SUV rides on 19-inch Y-spoke alloy wheels – the Sportback gets 20-inch 'V-Design' alloys – with both getting black treatment for the grille surrounds, front Audi badge, mirror caps and window surrounds. The rear badging has been deleted. Inside, there are S line door sills with aluminium inlays and illuminated S line logos. All prices exclude on-road costs.
