The Audi A1 Sportback handles a normal week in the city, but holiday luggage or bikes require space on the roof. Choose your car's generation and proceed to the sets designed for a bare roof.
The five-door Sportback is produced in two generations. The first is designated 8X and rolled off the production lines from 2011 to 2018. The second generation has the code GB and its production started in 2018. The roof shaping and door frame profile differ between these versions, so a rack from one generation does not fit the other.
When determining the generation, check the production year in your vehicle registration document. The actual production date is important, not the date of first registration at the authority.
The offer for the Audi A1 Sportback features exclusively a bare roof. The car has no mounting points or elevated elements from above, so the rack feet rest directly on the edge of the roof and anchor under the door frame.
Each manufacturer solves the mounting with their own system of feet and kits. Always verify what a specific package contains and what tools the installation requires directly in the detail of the selected product.
Drivers on the A1 Sportback most frequently attach ski roof boxes or bicycle carriers. The low silhouette of the body makes handling cargo easier; you can pull a bike up without stretching and without stepping on the door sills.
When planning your load, keep in mind the permissible roof load capacity, into which you must include the crossbars themselves and the empty box. The manufacturer states the maximum limit in the vehicle manual.
If you are looking for a rack for the three-door variant, go to Audi A1. For larger cars, we offer, for example, A3 Sportback, the Audi Q2 crossover, or the full list of the Audi brand.
Choose the 8X generation or the newer GB and continue to select a suitable set.
