Audi A1 Wins 'Best Small Car' At The 2011 Fleet World Honours

MILTON KEYNES, UNITED KINGDOM – May 23, 2011: The Audi A1 looks set to continue its dominance of the awards circuit as it celebrates its fifth title of the year – Best Small Car at the 2011 Fleet World Honours, which were held this lunchtime.

Fleet World Editor, Steve Moody, said: ‘Audi’s new A1 is just so desirable, combining chunky good looks with the firm’s meticulous attention to detail and quality. It might not be the cheapest supermini, but strong performance on the used market will balance the books. Pre-launch, it always looked like being a winner – now on fleet, it has proved it.’

The Fleet World Honours are judged by the Fleet World editorial team with the help of industry data provided by by ALD Automotive, Hitachi Capital Vehicle Solutions, ING Car Lease, EurotaxGlass and SMMT. The ceremony was held at the Royal Automobile Club, Pall Mall, earlier today.

The A1’s Best Small Car Fleet World award joins the prestigious Car of the Year and Supermini of the Year awards from What Car? magazine, Best Small Hatchback from Parkers New Car Awards and Best Luxury Small Car from the CarBuyer Awards.

Prices for the A1 start from £13,420 OTR (1.2 TFSI 86PS SE model) and go to £20,710 OTR for the top of the range 1.4 TFSI 185PS model.
