The 1.4 TFSI heat engine and electric powertrain deliver overall 204 hp and 350 Nm of couple. In variant “45” the total power goes up to 245 hp and 400 Nm of couple. The additional power and torque (respectively + 41 hp and + 50 Nm) compared to the 40 TFSI variant and are due to a specific software management.
Audi A3 Sportback plug-in hybrid battery
There lithium ion batterywhich is located in the floor in the area below the rear seats, is characterized by 96 cells prismatic and accumulates 13 kWhof which 9.8 kWh actually usable.
The battery cooling system is separate but, if necessary, it can be integrated in the air conditioning circuitso as to allow the operation in purely electric mode even with high ambient temperatures.
Battery range, how many km does the A3 plug-in hybrid travel in electric mode?
The Audi A3 Sportback 1.4 (40) TFSI and S tronic plug-in hybrid have an electric range of only 67 kilometers WLTPalmost higher 20 km more compared to the previous model.
A handful of km less for the more powerful 245 bhp 45 variant: 61 kilometers WLTP.
How do you charge the plug-in hybrid A3 Sportback?

The maximum charging power is 3.6 kW in AC. The full of energy therefore occurs in approx 2.4 hours.
A practical tool to manage the car remotely is represented by themyAudi app which transfers the services Audi connect on your smartphone. You can remotely control it battery status and range of the carstart the charging processes, program the timer, monitor consumption and manage pre-climate control.
The app’s itinerary planning function and the MMI navigation system display the charging stations. During the trip you can recharge your car thanks to the service Audi e-tron Charging Service which guarantees access to a vast network of public stations (over 150,000) in 25 European countries.

Audi A3 Sportback TFSI and has very low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The declared consumption is equal to 1.0 – 1.3 liters per 100 kilometers in the combined cycle WLTP while the value of the emissions is 24 – 31 grams / kilometer of CO2.
The declared consumption of the A3 Sportback 45 TFSI e, with the battery charged, is equal to 1.2 – 1.3 liters per 100 kilometers in the face of emissions of 29 – 31 grams / km of CO2.
Audi A3 Sportback TFSI and driving modes
The driver of the Audi A3 Sportback TFSI and with the different driving modes can freely decide if and how to intervene in the interaction between the thermal engine and the electric motor.
The spmp travel programs “EV “,” Auto “,” Battery hold “and” Battery charge “ and respectively give priority to electric drive, automatic hybrid mode, energy saving for the benefit of a subsequent journey phase or battery recharging.
In mode Carthe intelligent traction management regulates the interaction between the combustion engine and the electric motor, opting, for example in non-load conditions, for the sailing or for the energy recovery.
A3 Sportback TFSI and PHEV performance
The performance of the new Audi A3 Sportback 1.4 (40) TFSI and S tronic is brilliant. from 0 to 100 km / h in 7.6 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 227 km / h (140 km / h in purely electric mode).
Through the system Audi drive selectthe driver has the classic car driving programs available, comfort, dynamic, efficiency and individual which allow to affect the delivery, the threshold of interaction between the engines, the S tronic transmission clutches and the steering calibration.
By opting for the dynamic setup and the S mode of the dual clutch transmission, by pressing the accelerator fully, the powertrain of the Audi A3 Sportback 1.4 (40) TFSI and S tronic uses the boost mode. As soon as the pedal is released, the electric motor acts as a alternator for the benefit of energy recovery and the so-called “One-pedal feeling”.
Audi A3 Sportback TFSI e, energy recovery
The energy recovery system derives from the Audi e-tron and allows you to recover up to 40 kW of power. There electro-hydraulic braking sees the electric motor, called to act as alternator, take care of the mild decelerations: the most frequent in daily walking.
The medium intensity brakingover 0.3 g, are jointly managed by the zero-emission unit and the traditional brakes, or exclusively from the hydraulic system. The transition from electric to classic braking is almost imperceptible.
