How to Change Autorefname of Subfigure

Question

I currently started to use the subfigure command instead of minipage to arrange several figures. I am using the subcaption package to do so. Now subfigure (other than minipage) references in the written text - when using autoref{ExampleLabel} - as Abbildung 1a. While I do like the (a), (b), (c), (d) label format I would like the reference to be like Abbildung 1 (a) with both parenthesis and the blank in between.
How do I approach this?

As @Mico stated in the Comments:
The subcaption user manual stats on page 9:
"If you want parentheses around the sub-figure part of the reference, so they will look like ‘1(a)’, you may get them this way:"
usepackage[labelformat=simple]{subcaption}
renewcommandthesubfigure{(alph{subfigure})}

If one wants to have "1 (a)" - so with a blank in between - instead on "1(a)", one has to add the blank such as: renewcommandthesubfigure{ (alph{subfigure})}.
If one uses renewcommandthesubfigure{,(alph{subfigure})} it will be a half blank and 1 (a) never gets separated.
