Powerful: 150 kW (204 PS) system output and a purely electric range of almost 140 kilometers Fast: DC charging with up to 50 kW* and AC charging with up to 11 kW Distinctive: off-road look and increased ride height
With its characteristic off-road design and increased ground clearance, the A3 allstreet sets itself apart from the derivatives of the A3 family at first glance. The crossover is now available as a plug-in hybrid, making it ideal for everyday life. With high battery capacity, strong recuperation performance, DC charging, and intelligent drive management, the A3 allstreet 40 TFSI e offers emission-free driving for local trips and outstanding efficiency in most everyday situations.
The A3 allstreet plug-in hybrid follows the launch of the new Audi A3 Sportback TFSI e in October. At the heart of the drive are the new 1.5-liter TFSI evo2 turbocharged petrol engine with 110 kW (150 PS) and 250 Nm of torque and an electric motor with 85 kW and 330 Nm of torque. The combustion engine and the permanently excited synchronous motor offer a system output of 150 kW (204 PS) and 350 Nm of system torque, providing the crossover with energetic propulsion.
Impressive charging performance Charging performance is a key component of the A6 e-tron product experience. Sophisticated HV battery thermal management, in conjunction with the 800-volt electrical system and its ecosystem, makes charging a convenient and completely worry-free experience. For example, the Audi A6 Sportback e-tron performance only takes ten minutes at a fast-charging station to charge a range of up to 310 kilometers under ideal conditions with a maximum charging power of 270 kW. Under ideal conditions, it takes just 21 minutes to charge the high-voltage battery from 10 to 80%. At charging stations with 400-volt technology, bank charging is possible, as is the case with the Audi Q6 e-tron. The 800-volt battery is electrically divided into two banks, each with 400 volts of voltage, which can then charge in parallel with up to 135 kW. Both halves of the battery are first balanced according to their charge status and then charged simultaneously. As standard, the Audi A6 e-tron can charge quickly with up to 270 kW (225 kW for the entry-level variant) at suitable HPC charging stations. With a standard domestic Wallbox, AC charging with up to 11 kW is possible. This is enough to recharge an empty battery overnight. A 22 kW AC charging option will be offered at a later date. The charging flap opens electronically via the MMI display. After the charging cable is removed, the charging flap closes automatically. Alternatively, the user may open or close the power charging flaps manually. In addition, all drivers of all-electric Audi models benefit from the Audi charging service, and last but not least, the Audi charging hub quick-charging concept network for urban environments. The charging management supports the international charging standard CSS (Combined Charging System).
More powerful high-voltage battery: electric range more than doubled up to 143 kilometers Outstanding efficiency: intelligent drive management and DC fast charging for the first deliver an enhanced electric driving experience Two models available: variant with 150 kW (204 PS) and sporty plug-in hybrid with 200 kW (272 PS) system output
With a higher battery capacity, DC charging at fast-charging stations, and an electric range of up to 143 kilometers, the Audi A3 Sportback TFSI e is undergoing a comprehensive technology upgrade. Its intelligent drive management ensures outstanding efficiency, high recuperation performance, and locally emission-free driving over long distances in everyday life. The plug-in hybrid combines dynamic handling with increased comfort.
After Audi presented extensive upgrades for the A3 and S3, including the new A3 allstreet model, in the spring, the A3 Sportback TFSI e now follows with the plug-in hybrid more powerful and more efficient than before. New turbo petrol engine and optimized electric motor as powerful duo The new turbocharged petrol engine and the electric motor with increased power density are at the heart of the drive system. The 1.5 TFSI evo2 replaces the previous 1.4 TFSI and boasts a wide range of high-tech features. In addition to optimizing combustion chamber cooling, the symbiosis of the turbocharger with variable turbine geometry and the Miller cycle, as well as the early closing of the intake valves, ensures a higher compression ratio. The ratio is now 11.5:1, compared to 10:1 in the 1.4 TFSI. Thanks to this combustion process, the new unit operates with a high degree of efficiency, reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Injection takes place at a pressure of up to 350 bar. By comparison, the 1.4 TFSI reached a maximum of 200 bar. Plasma-coated cylinder liners reduce internal friction in the new engine. Pistons with cast-in cooling channels optimize combustion.
Benchmark range thanks to more powerful and smarter battery The completely newly developed high-voltage battery (HV battery) is largely responsible for the longest electric range in the current Audi portfolio. With a range of up to 625 kilometers (388 mi) making it one of the models with the longest range in its segment, the Audi Q6 e-tronquattro is highly suitable for everyday use. The rear-wheel drive Audi Q6 e-tron performance has a range of up to 641 kilometers (398 mi). The three model variants Audi Q6 e-tronquattro, Audi Q6 e-tron performance and Audi SQ6 e-tron each have an HV battery with a gross storage capacity of 100 kWh (net 94.9 kWh). Compared to the battery systems previously used by Audi, the battery consists of just twelve modules with a total of 180 prismatic cells. The 15 cells per module are connected in series. For comparison, the HV battery in the Audi Q8 e-tron consists of 36 modules and 432 cells. The significant increase in cell size corresponds almost perfectly to the 800-volt architecture in order to achieve the best possible compromise between range and charging performance.
Das Modell zeichnet sich nicht nur durch beeindruckende Fahr- und Ladeleistungen aus, sondern auch durch gesteigerte Effizienz und große Reichweite: der Audi Q6 e-tronquattro1 mit 285 kW Die strategische Messgröße dabei ist der im Volkswagenkonzern entwickelte Dekarbonisierungsindex (DKI)⁴, der auf den Ökobilanzen⁵ beruht, die für alle Fahrzeuge der AUDI AG erstellt werden. Am Lebensende der E-Fahrzeuge verfolgt Audi verschiedene Ansätze im Umgang mit den einzelnen Bestandteilen der Elektroauto-Batterie: Die Weiterverwendung in einem anderen Anwendungsfall, für den die verbleibende Leistung noch ausreichend ist („Reuse“); das Ertüchtigen der Batterie für einen und der Audi SQ6 e-tron2 mit 380 kW. Neben der sou- veränen Leistung überzeugt die Reichweite: Mit bis zu 641 Kilometern nach WLTP gehört der Audi Q6 e-tron³ zu den reichweitenstärksten Modellen in seinem Segment. Dank der 800-Volt-Technik und einer serienmäßigen maximalen DC-Ladeleistung von bis zu 270 kW (kombinierter Wert) sind mit den Fahrzeugen der Q6 e-tron Baureihe kurze Ladestopps möglich. So lassen sich an einer entsprechenden Ladesäule (High Power Charging, HPC) in nur zehn Minuten bis zu 255 Kilometer Reichweite nachladen. In rund 21 Minuten steigt der State of Charge (SoC) von 10 auf 80 Prozent*. Die Dekarbonisierungsstrategie der AUDI AG bezieht neben der Elektrifizierung der Modellpalette die gesamte Wertschöpfungskette mit ein: Von der Gewinnung der Rohstoffe, der Fahrzeugproduktion, der Kraftstoff- bzw. Strombereitstellung, der Fahremissionen bis zum Recycling. Ziel ist die Reduzierung des CO₂-Fußabdrucks (im Lebenszyklus) je Fahrzeugmodell auf Flottenbasis um 40 % bis 2030 (gegenüber dem Basisjahr 2018). erneuten Einsatz im Fahrzeug („Remanufacturing“) sowie der sogenannte „Second Life“-Ansatz, bei dem die Akkus noch jahrelang außerhalb eines E-Fahrzeuges genutzt werden, z.
Maximum charging power of 270 kilowatts for a large part of the charging time – energy for up to 255 kilometers recharged in only ten minutes Standardized communication between charging station and vehicle The Europe-wide Audi charging network and Audi charging hub terminals in urban environments offer a dense network of charging points
When designing and developing the high-voltage (HV) battery for the Premium Platform Electric (PPE), Audi prioritized both range and charging performance. Sophisticated thermal management for the battery, an 800-volt electrical system, and a wide range of efficiency measures around the new electric motors make driving and charging a carefree experience. The Audi charging service and, last but not least, the Audi charging hub fast charging network in urban environments, which is becoming increasingly dense, also contribute to this.
With a state of charge (SoC) of about ten percent, just ten minutes at a fast-charging station with a maximum charging power of 270 kW is enough to replenish up to 255 kilometers (158 mi) of range under ideal conditions. An ability that is fundamentally enabled by the 800-volt architecture, the new preconditioned HV battery, and the new predictive thermal management in the PPE. The HV battery in the Audi Q6 e-tron series is made up of twelve modules and has a gross storage capacity of 100 kWh (net 94.9). After market launch, this version will be followed by another variant with ten battery modules and gross storage capacity of 83 kWh. A mere 21 minutes is enough to charge the high-voltage battery from 10 to 80 percent. High charging power over a longer period of time contributes significantly to the customer-friendly charging performance of the PPE-based models. The maximum DC charging capacity of the Audi Q6 e-tron in series production is 270 kW.

The four rings opened their first Audi charging hub outside Europe on April 26, 2024. In Tokyo, the capital of Japan, drivers of electric cars of all brands can now charge at four fast-charging points, each with up to 150 kilowatts (kW) – an excellent figure for charging power in Japan. Thanks to a buffer storage unit, the Audi charging hub places low demands on the local power grid. The seventh Audi charging hub overall only uses electricity from renewable sources.
Fast charging in the center of a vibrant metropolis: Audi now offers customers in Japan a perfect charging experience with its new charging hub in Tokyo. The Kioichō business district has offices, shopping facilities, and cafés nearby, allowing customers to spend their charging time in various ways. The hub is also adjacent to Audi City Kioichō, the German premium brand's showroom for electric vehicles in the Japanese capital. With this concept, Audi primarily serves a target group which cannot charge their cars at home in an urban environment. The compact version of the Audi charging hub in Tokyo has two charging stations with a total of four fast-charging points featuring CHAdeMO charging plugs. Like its European counterparts, the fast-charging station can be used for all-electric vehicles, regardless of brand. In the future, Premium Charging Alliance (PCA) members will be able to reserve a charging point via the PCA app and thus avoid waiting times. PCA is a joint project between Audi and Porsche that aims to expand the fast-charging network in Japan. Around 6,000 PCA members currently have access to more than 400 fast-charging points nationwide. Battery storage solution enables fast charging Customers can charge their electric vehicles with up to 150 kW at the Audi charging hub in Tokyo.
Audi subjects each and every model to a comprehensive lifecycle assessment or LCA – whether combustion engines, plug-in hybrids, or all-electric vehicles – which makes the environmental impact of Audi’s models transparent over their entire lifecycle. As part of this LCA, Audi divides the lifecycle of its vehicles into three stages: vehicle production, utilization, and recycling. Vehicle production includes the extraction of raw materials, the production of the components, and the final assembly of the cars in Audi’s plants. Secondly, the utilization stage considers the effects of electricity and fuel supply and the direct emissions generated during driving. And then there is the third stage, recycling at the end of the vehicle’s life. The transformation to electromobility impacts all stages of a vehicle’s lifecycle, including making individual components in upstream production processes. As with any industrially manufactured product, vehicle production entails emissions that can occur at different points in a car’s lifecycle. In the production of electric cars, a much larger proportion of carbon emissions are attributable to upstream production processes in the supply chain compared with the production of vehicles with combustion engines. This is primarily due to battery production, which is energy intensive. That’s why Audi relies on measures to avoid and reduce emissions both during production and in later phases of the lifecycle to improve its products’ ecological balance. In production, Audi sees the sustainable use of resources as crucial in order to manufacture electric vehicles as efficiently and environmentally friendly as possible. As such, a central goal of the cross-site “Mission:Zero” environmental program is to make production carbon-neutral1 at all sites by 2025 and to optimize the use of resources. The utilization stage begins the moment a car is delivered to the customer.
