Audi has taken its A3 lineup to the next level with the introduction of the A3 allstreet 40 TFSI e, now available as a plug-in hybrid. This crossover stands out with its rugged off-road styling, increased ground clearance, and now the option to drive emission-free on local trips. With the addition of a plug-in hybrid powertrain, Audi\u2019s latest A3 allstreet model offers a unique combination of everyday practicality, off-road capability, and sustainable driving.<\/p>\n

Powerful and Efficient: What\u2019s Under the Hood?<\/h3>\n

At the core of the A3 allstreet 40 TFSI e is a new hybrid system that combines a 1.5-liter TFSI evo2 turbocharged petrol engine with a robust electric motor. The 1.5-liter engine delivers 110 kW (150 PS) and 250 Nm of torque, while the electric motor adds 85 kW and 330 Nm. Together, they provide a total output of 150 kW (204 PS) and 350 Nm of torque, ensuring the A3 allstreet has plenty of punch for a compact crossover.<\/p>\n

This powertrain isn’t just about raw power\u2014it\u2019s also about efficiency. With a top speed of 225 km\/h and the ability to reach 140 km\/h in pure electric mode, the A3 allstreet 40 TFSI e is as adept on highways as it is on urban streets. Thanks to the substantial 25.7 kWh battery (19.7 kWh net), drivers can enjoy an impressive electric-only range of up to 140 kilometers (WLTP), making it ideal for daily commutes without a drop of petrol.<\/p>\n

Intelligent Drive Management for Maximum Efficiency<\/h3>\n

The A3 allstreet 40 TFSI e\u2019s drive system is engineered for optimal efficiency, with several modes designed to fit different driving needs. An EV button allows drivers to prioritize electric driving, essentially transforming the car into a fully electric vehicle for local trips. The standard \u201cAuto Hybrid\u201d mode seamlessly balances the use of both the electric motor and combustion engine, adjusting based on speed and driving conditions.<\/p>\n

For additional efficiency, the hybrid system utilizes regenerative braking, recovering energy during deceleration to recharge the battery. It also intelligently manages battery usage to reserve electric power for low-emission zones or when conditions are most favorable. The result is a plug-in hybrid that\u2019s not just powerful but incredibly efficient.<\/p>\n

High-Tech Charging Options for On-the-Go<\/h3>\n

Audi has made sure the A3 allstreet 40 TFSI e is as convenient as it is capable. The crossover supports DC fast charging up to 50 kW, allowing a quick top-up from 10% to 80% in under 30 minutes\u2014perfect for road trips or quick stops. For home charging, the A3 allstreet offers three-phase AC charging at up to 11 kW, completing a full charge in just 2.5 hours with a wallbox or municipal station.<\/p>\n

Audi\u2019s extensive charging network, including over 630,000 charging points across Europe, ensures that finding a convenient charging spot is never an issue. Whether you\u2019re charging at one of Audi’s premium charging hubs in major cities or using a public station, the process is easy and efficient.<\/p>\n

Built for Comfort, Styled for Adventure<\/h3>\n

The A3 allstreet TFSI e stands out visually and dynamically from the rest of the A3 family. With its elevated ride height of 15 millimeters compared to the A3 Sportback and an increased ground clearance of 30 millimeters, this crossover is ready for adventure. Bold wheel arches, larger tires, and standard 17-inch wheels give it a rugged look, while optimized suspension settings provide a comfortable ride even on rougher terrain.<\/p>\n

To maintain a balance between sportiness and comfort, the A3 allstreet’s suspension has been fine-tuned to handle the extra weight of the battery, which is positioned under the rear seats for a better center of gravity. Audi\u2019s electromechanical steering offers precision at high speeds and effortless control in tight spaces, making the crossover as enjoyable in the city as it is off the beaten path. For drivers seeking an even sportier edge, progressive steering with a variable ratio is available as an option.<\/p>\n

Smart Tech and Premium Features Inside<\/h3>\n

The A3 allstreet 40 TFSI e isn\u2019t just rugged on the outside\u2014it\u2019s packed with cutting-edge technology inside. Audi\u2019s virtual cockpit is standard, providing real-time information on power usage, drive mode, battery status, and range. A central MMI display visualizes energy flows, allowing drivers to monitor the car\u2019s performance and efficiency at a glance.<\/p>\n

Standard features include the Audi drive select system, which allows drivers to adjust vehicle dynamics with the touch of a button, and auxiliary air conditioning that can cool or heat the car\u2019s interior before a journey begins. This makes the A3 allstreet plug-in hybrid not only a practical choice for everyday use but also a comfortable one, regardless of the season.<\/p>\n
