New Audi A3 Sportback e-tron to roam around
No pure e-car, but no more pure gasoline, this is the Audi A3 Sportback e-tron since 2014. Now the A3 Sportback has been revised. Visually, it has been worthwhile to wait: the sharpened design lends dynamism right down to the LED headlights. If you still want to upgrade the look, treat yourself to the Audi Matrix LED technology, including the futuristic wiper flashing lights. The plug-in hybrid on the e-tron badges on the singleframe (radiator area), on the fenders and on the luggage compartment lid is clearly recognizable.
Interior values of the Audi A3 Sportback e-tron
But let us come to the inner values: What's in the Audi A3 Sportback e-tron? ? If he parks, then hopefully the plug in the charging station!
For those who drive less than 50 kilometers in moderate driving a day, the refueling less or no gasoline. The 8.8 kW lithium-ion battery can be either 4 hours to the normal home power hanging - or who has a faster charging option (industrial socket), which only needs 2.5 hours to wait until the battery is full again. The gasoline fuel is needed for the 1.4 TFSI engine, which should therefore be used as little as possible.
Is it on the highway or more than the said 50 kilometers to friends or the dear Relatives, then the petrol engine switches to. Makes sense if the highway speed allows more than 130 km/h. By the way, it's even purely electric. But above that, so if the mark is allowed to exceed 220 km/h, the A3 E-tron will make it easy. This is where the electric motor and the burners work together harmoniously. 204 hp (150kW) then turn on. Due to the support of the electric drive is quite good torque available. 7.6 seconds pass and the first three-digit number appears on the odometer.
Practical tips for the A3 e-tron
Incidentally, it makes sense in plug-in hybrids, at higher speeds and longer driving, the burners to switch to - and not all purely electric to drive on the highway until the battery is empty. Because the advantage outweighs that you can drive in the next city then again purely electrically, if you keep remaining range.
Although you can also drive battery charging, but I think in practice rather less recommended. However, that too is necessary - and that is good again. Imagine driving the battery electric range (accidentally) to zero. Then you have a longer piece of highway in front of you and then have to drive purely electric in the destination city, because there burners should not enter. Then you switch to the mode "battery charging" while driving. Problem solved, without an extra charge break.
Environmental bonus for the A3 Sportback e-tron
Audi's e-tron is on the list of eligible electric vehicles. Thus, the framework conditions for new car purchases for the purchase premium. The Audi remains under the 60,000 euro limit list price, namely, he starts at 37,900 euros. So far, the promotion was not so well accepted by the buyers. Therefore, there is a great opportunity to get the promotion now completely relaxed.Information on consumptions and CO2 emissions at spreads depending on the tire/wheel set used.
