Plug-In-Hybrid - Audi MMI with hybrid function

Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) combine the benefits of two drive technologies. While internal combustion engines offer long range, electric motors provide an alternative for locally emission-free driving on most day-to-day routes. In addition, in a PHEV, the electric drive supports the combustion engine in under partial load and contributes additional boost for faster acceleration. In designing its PHEV models, Audi is pursuing several goals: long and frequent stretches of electric driving, low overall energy consumption, simple charging management, and high suitability for everyday use.

Sharpened design and innovative technologies for the flagship: the enhanced Audi A8

(Full text version) With sharpened design, particularly in the front and rear, and innovative technologies, Audi is ensuring the increased presence and sporty elegance of the A8. For that reason, the company with the four rings is even more intensively working out the confident and progressive character of the active luxury sedan. The new high-end headlights and taillights inspire with innovative functions and form the apex of the A8’s established technology portfolio. The flagship of the brand thereby creates a contemporary and user-oriented experience – whether for passengers or drivers.

    In addition to fully electric vehicles, Audi is also focusing on plug-in hybrids. The new e-hybrid models combine electric efficiency with traditional combustion-engine technology. This makes them especially versatile and well-suited for everyday use. Short distances can be covered locally with zero emissions and near-silent electric driving, while the combustion engine ensures range and convenience on longer trips. The intelligent and efficient mix of drive types enables a sporty yet comfortable driving experience.
