Audi A3 e-tron plug-in hybrid unveils

Audi presents at the Geneva Motor Show in March, the hybrid A3 e-tron.
The A3 e-tron is a plug-in hybrid. The car combines a 150 hp 1.4 TFSI with an electric motor of 102 hp. Switching is done via a newly developed six-speed eS tronic transmission. The system output is 204 hp, maximum torque 350 Nm.

The sprint to 100 km / h takes 7.6 seconds and top speed is 222 km / h. The average consumption is 1.5 l/100 km, which corresponds to CO2 emissions of 35 g / km.

The Audi has several driving modes: pure electric, a combination of electric and internal combustion engine (as much power is required) or only the 1.4 TFSI. Who purely electric drives, see the top speed limited to 130 km / h.

The pure electric range is 50 kilometers. When the driver releases the accelerator, both motors off. Thus, the inhibitory effect of the motors are avoided.

Audi has emphasized that the A3 e-tron a realistic preview 'of how the brand's future mobility will fill. Count but so that we plug-in hybrid powertrain in the long term production Audi's go see.
