Audi has unveiled the A3 allstreet 40 TFSI e1, an innovative plug-in hybrid crossover designed to deliver a blend of off-road styling, advanced electrification, and everyday practicality. With its distinctive raised ground clearance, robust design, and exceptional efficiency, the A3 allstreet joins the expanding lineup of electrified Audi vehicles.
Plug-In Hybrid Power for Everyday Adventures
The A3 allstreet plug-in hybrid is powered by a combination of a 1.5-liter TFSI evo2 turbocharged petrol engine and an 85 kW electric motor, delivering a system output of 150 kW (204 PS) and 350 Nm of torque. This pairing provides dynamic performance, including a top speed of 225 km/h and a pure electric mode capable of speeds up to 140 km/h.
A high-capacity 25.7 kWh battery offers an impressive WLTP electric range of nearly 140 kilometers, making the A3 allstreet ideal for emission-free urban commutes and longer journeys alike.
Intelligent Drive Management
Audi’s advanced drive management system optimizes efficiency by balancing the combustion engine and electric motor in the default “Auto Hybrid” mode. Drivers can also prioritize electric driving with the EV button, while recuperation and coasting modes ensure energy is efficiently harnessed.
