Why does the Audi A1 have a higher horsepower compared to its competitors?

I've noticed that the Audi A1 has a significantly higher horsepower than its competitors in the same price range, such as the Mini Cooper and VW Polo. Is there a specific reason for this difference?

The Audi A1 is designed with a turbocharged engine, which allows for better air intake and results in a higher horsepower output. In comparison, the Mini Cooper and VW Polo have non-turbocharged engines.

Audi has a strong focus on performance and their A1 model is marketed as a sportier option. This is why they have equipped it with a higher horsepower engine compared to its competitors.
