There are those who happily accept the status quo, who are content with doing things
as they’ve always been done. And then there’s Audi. When our engineers were tasked
with designing the ultimate plug-in hybrid electric vehicle for the moment, they
made sure it wouldn’t conform to the t ypical mainstream idea of a green vehicle,
while shif ting the transportation narrative in a definitive way. They started with an
exceptional pairing—the unrivaled efficiency of electric propulsion and the incredible
energy densit y of gasoline—then engineered the ideal electric motor and gasoline
engine to harness the unique properties of both. Taken as a whole, they make the
all-new Audi A3 Sportback e-tron® the electrif ying exception to the old environmen -
tally friendly vehicle rule: saving the world requires compromise.
2 This is an Audi,
first and foremost. It just happens to do some things a little differently—including
leading the way toward sustainable mobilit y.
Energy _______
Electric motors and gasoline engines excel in
different ways. While an electric motor’s extreme
efficiency comes from its rotational motion and
minimal heat production, a gasoline engine has the
advantage of using an energy dense fuel, meaning
a small amount can go a long way.
