Crossbars for the first-generation five-door compact Audi A1 Sportback from 2011 to 2018.
The offer for this generation exclusively features a bare roof, where the rack feet are secured directly under the upper door frame.
The A1 Sportback has a clean roof surface. The assembly is mounted using precisely shaped clamps into the door frame that respect the roofline.
Check that you actually have the five-door Sportback and not the classic three-door version of the A1. The rear mounting of the rack is handled differently on the three-door model, and the kits between these versions are not interchangeable.
The compact boot of the Sportback is often not enough for holiday luggage, and the roof provides the necessary space. The difference between steel and aluminium bars mainly lies in the profile shape and the method of accessory attachment. Aluminium profiles typically offer an upper T-track into which you can easily slide bike or ski holders using T-bolts. Steel bars usually have a square profile, onto which accessories are attached using external clamps.
If you already own your equipment, check the compatibility of its mounts with the selected profile in advance. The exact composition of a specific set and the package contents can be found directly in the selected product detail.
Production of the 8X generation ended in 2018, when the newer A1 Sportback GB generation entered the market. The newer generation has different roof dimensions and a different mounting kit. If you have a vehicle manufactured during 2018, check the generation code in your vehicle registration document before purchasing.
When planning your load, remember that the total weight limit includes the weight of the crossbars themselves, the box, and the transported items. The maximum limit can be found in the vehicle manual. You can browse other models and body styles via A1 Sportback or the main Audi category. Choose the suitable variant for your 8X generation.
