2014 Audi A3 Tdi was the first manufacturer to win Le Mans with a hybrid powertrain, it is safe to say he knows a thing or two about fossil electron pairing, the company takes a hard won knowledge to a station service near you in the form of e tron A3 Sportback. As with all plug-in hybrid, is a benefit of low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions emissions.The Sportback e tron uses a 148bhp 1.4 liter TFSI turbo petrol engine with an electric motor of 101bhp. Together they produce a maximum power of 201bhp system. But because it is a plug in hybrid can travel up to 31 miles and speeds up to 80 mph using only the electric motor. And this is what gives the car the potential to return 176.6mpg 37g/km.A emissions and full load in the A3 e tron takes about four hours in a household outlet and about 2 hours and 15 minutes charger publishes A3 Sportback e tron does not broadcast its ecological qualities conventional observer styling.

It Audi will not really looking forward to this show is taking hybrid range.There are subtle “e tron” badges on the front grille and chrome strips rear cross member 14 opposite sport and seven other smooth finish on Sportback.There A3 are also regular style turbine wheels that are unique to the backward direction tron.And, Audi hid the exhaust under the rear bumper, a nod to the car’s ability to cover ground without using electrical ground connection dinosaur.The charger hides under the flagship four grid nose.Inside ring on the track greater mission of this Audi is the great instrument that marked in other cars would normally accommodate rev A3 e tron counter.In is where the “power”, which provides information on the state of charge and using battery power,lives. The other control is absolutely at the heart of the reason for Audi to be, is how the other cars button.In “mode” buttons usually modify things such as the direction and throttle response, but Audi four modes that describe almost the whole question of how car existence.2014 Audi A3 Tdi ev is self-explanatory. Select it and if you have the proper load, it can trigger using nothing but electric nail gas engine, however, and the engine starts up.In hybrid car, engine work, the gasoline engine and the electric mode, provide the most effective striker.

Mode hybrid monitoring system preserves the existing battery for later use. This is very useful if you use a downtown where you can run in pure electric mode. It is borne in hybrid mode, using the gasoline engine as a generator to recharge a depleted battery.We left for a trip of about 50 miles on the type of roads that allow us to experience properly the four modes . We starting in the center of Vienna, we were in pure electric mode, which is the default when you start the tron.As emails with other electric cars, it is simply the best form of propulsion for city driving . It is incredibly refined without interrupting gear changes, luxury car, quiet and super responsive thanks to the torque of the electric motor instantly available.On be faster, more open roads moved us hybrid car and leave the car at decide what combination of energy source that wanted to use in all circumstances. Obviously, during acceleration or overtaking kicks gasoline engine inside and when you really need to hit hard disk, the electric motor gives a pulse of its own.In Thus, the e tron is very sensitive and feels “normal”. It regenerative brake function when the brakes are applied, and the system also uses a function of “inertia” which closes the gas and electricity when, for example, a natural stop for hill.It s “in the name efficiency, but I must say, none of it feels the hybrid mode uses very natural.We intrusive.It retention for a bit, but I felt a bit useless because it does not leave you running on the gasoline engine to maintain the state of charge of the battery, which was virtually non-existent in this stage of our drive.Instead, opted for the hybrid mode for charging the battery state of charge, which brings us back to the base in the center of Vienna in pure electric mode.2014 Audi A3 Tdi it worked a treat, but it is by far the least effective to use, especially if the battery is low average. It helps to have if you know you need office for a period of zero emission driving city, but it is one that should be avoided in favor of the network to charging.

Charge bought us about 12 miles of beach leg the city, it took a few hundred meters from our destination in pure electric mode, before the system had to wake gasoline engine.The Audi color screen dashtop we told our training “the free emissions: 78% and 22% “. “That 78% of zero emissions include any time without pedaling power off both power if electricity is not only representative range.But used with a right foot at speeds of city street reasonably prudent, I think 30 miles would be feasible. Regarding our fuel consumption, with 67.2mpg average.Admittedly, it was a hard drive with a race at high speeds and lots of cargo used in hybrid mode, if it is not bad look.The result A3 e-tron could weigh more than 300 kg more A3 Sportback 1.4 TFSI petrol ordinary, but fail to hide the weight well. Curves attitude is fairly neutral, but as expected, e tron has a tendency to understeer when pushed hard. and both teams strong auto clutch six-speed precision.It ‘s all things predictable, and the ride quality is also quieter and absorbent than I would have expected, although very forgiving Austrian roads.Audi ‘classic quattro four-wheel s is not available to the A3 e-tron, and you can not accommodate the plug-in hybrid packaging. At least, not quattro classical mechanics. 2014 Audi A3 Tdi the solution will Audi incorporating an electric motor on the rear axle for driving the wheel drive dynamics.
