Audi continues its electrification campaign in the compact class: Presales of the Audi A3 Sportback 45 TFSI e<\/a> will start in Germany this week. The brand with the four rings is thereby complementing the A3 Sportback 40 TFSI e with a sporty model that has more power and more extensive equipment. Its plug-in hybrid drive has a system output of 180 kW (245 PS) and 400 Nm (295.0 lb-ft) of system torque.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Like its sister model, the new A3 Sportback 45 TFSI e is equipped with a 1.4-litre combustion engine. It outputs 110 kW (150 PS) and 250 Nm\u00a0(184.4\u00a0lb-ft)<\/em>\u00a0of torque. The electric drive is powered by a permanently excited synchronous machine that outputs 80\u00a0kW and 330\u00a0Nm\u00a0(243.4\u00a0lb-ft)<\/em>\u00a0of torque.<\/p>\n

Control software generates the extra 30\u00a0kW (41\u00a0PS) of system output and 50\u00a0Nm\u00a0(36.9\u00a0lb-ft)<\/em>\u00a0of torque as compared to the A3\u00a040\u00a0TFSI e2<\/sup>. It regulates the optimum interplay between the two drives under maximum power requirements. The electric motor complements the combustion engine in the corresponding engine speed ranges.<\/p>\n

The electric motor is integrated into the housing of the six-speed S Tronic, which transfers the power to the front wheels. A package consisting of 96 prismatic cells in the lithium-ion battery stores 13.0 kWh of energy. The A3 Sportback 45 TFSI e1<\/sup>\u00a0charges with a maximum of 2.9\u00a0kW. An empty battery can be recharged in around five hours from a conventional domestic power socket.<\/p>\n

Powerful performance and long-range<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With a system output of 180\u00a0kW (245\u00a0PS) and 400\u00a0Nm\u00a0(295.0\u00a0lb-ft)<\/em>\u00a0of system torque, the compact PHEV model accelerates from 0 to 100\u00a0km\/h\u00a0(62.1\u00a0mph)\u00a0<\/em>in 6.8 seconds and continues up to a top speed of 232 km\/h\u00a0(144.2\u00a0mph)<\/em>. Its fuel consumption in the NEDC cycle is 1.5 to 1.4 litres per 100 kilometres (156.8\u2013168.0\u00a0US\u00a0mpg)<\/em>, corresponding to 34 to 31 grams\u00a0of CO2<\/sub> per kilometre\u00a0(54.7\u201349.9\u00a0g\/mi)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Audi A3 Sportback 45 TFSI e<\/a> always starts up on electric power. The driver can cover up to 74 kilometres\u00a0(46.0\u00a0mi)<\/em> according to the NEDC standard (63\u00a0kilometres\u00a0(39.1\u00a0mi)<\/em>\u00a0in the WLTP cycle) with zero local emissions. The fully electric top speed is 140\u00a0km\/h\u00a0(87.0\u00a0mph)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Four driving modes for high efficiency<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In \u201cAuto Hybrid\u201d mode, which is the main operating mode, the combustion engine and the electric motor divide the work intelligently. Depending on the situation and the driver\u2019s preference, the car can coast, recuperate \u2013 in overrun mode and while braking \u2013 or boost together with the electric motor and TFSI.<\/p>\n

When the driver selects the \u201cBattery hold\u201d or \u201cBattery charge\u201d modes, the hybrid management maintains the state of charge of the battery at a constant level or increases it in a targeted manner.\u00a0Drivers can prioritize electric drive with the EV button.<\/p>\n

The driver controls further functions via the central MMI display, the six-speed S tronic, or the Audi drive select dynamic handling system. Special displays inform the driver about the drive\u2019s activity: For example, the digital instrument cluster displays, the engine output, the drive mode, the battery\u2019s state of charge, and the range. The MMI display also provides visualizations of the energy flows.<\/p>\n

Sporty equipment<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The exterior of the Audi A3 Sportback 45 TFSI e1<\/sup>\u00a0features an expressive design: The black styling package and a Singleframe grille with high-gloss black inlays emphasize the car\u2019s sporty character. Upon request, Audi offers the Matrix LED headlights with non-blinding high beams and dynamic cornering lights.<\/p>\n

Their digital daytime running lights, a pixel array consisting of 15 LED segments, generate an E-shaped light signature \u2013 the symbol of the plug-in hybrid drive. The brake disks behind the 17-inch wheels are larger than those of the 40 TFSI e: They have a diameter of 340 millimetres\u00a0(13.4\u00a0in)<\/em> at the front and 310\u00a0millimetres\u00a0(12.2\u00a0in)<\/em> at the rear. All brake callipers are painted red.<\/p>\n

Unlike the 40 TFSI e, the standard equipment also includes Audi\u00a0drive\u00a0select, sport seats, tinted windows, two-zone automatic air conditioning, and the convenience key. The A3 Sportback 45 TFSI e\u00a0is available from EUR\u00a040,395.29 in Germany (EUR\u00a041,440 with 19%\u00a0VAT). Customers are entitled to a subsidy of EUR\u00a06,750.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
