Audi 50 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1974–1978) — First Generation
The first-generation Audi 50 is a compact three-door hatchback built around efficient packaging: a short body, front-wheel drive and a transverse engine that frees up useful room for passengers and luggage.
The Audi 50 engine range centred on small gasoline units, such as the 1.3 MT with a manual gearbox driving the front wheels. This lightweight powertrain suits town traffic and steady country roads, where modest displacement keeps fuel use and running costs low.
