Are 5 door cars more expensive?
Conclusion: Of course, the 5-door is that little bit more expensive, but you’re paying for the extra doors and the extra space that it provides. You just need to decide whether, for practical reasons, it’s worth going for the larger model or whether the 3-door will appropriately meet your needs. If you’re regularly carrying more than one passenger, then the ease of access the extra doors provide is a no-brainer. If you’re regularly putting children in the back, then reaching into a 3-door will not only be awkward but could put extra strain on your back.
What is the difference between a 3 and 5 door A1?
The Audi A1 Sportback is slightly roomier, with five doors and a bit more head and legspace. This is compared to the three-door Audi A1 model. Both models have the same 270-litre boot, so the extra space in the Sportback purely comes from 6mm in height and width, plus the added rear doors. The A1 easily fits a child seat and a young family. The A3 has more headroom and plenty of legroom, so it’s better if you do want to fit adults in the back. It’s more of a daily family car than the A1 if you have teenagers. The A3 beats the A1 for bootspace because it has 380 litres compared to 335 litres.
