The Audi Q3 as a plug-in hybrid - the powertrain and the battery

The two Q3 models use a 1.4 TFSI as the combustion engine. The four-cylinder engine produces 110 kW (150 hp). The drive is completed by a permanently excited synchronous machine (PSM) that delivers 85 kW of power. Together with the disconnect clutch, the PSM is integrated into the housing of the six-speed S tronic. This dual-clutch transmission, which transmits power to the front wheels, integrates an electric oil pump. It ensures the supply and thus the function of the clutches and gear selection even when the TFSI engine is switched off. Great driving pleasure and high efficiency - the powertrain of the two new models offers both. Together, the 1.4 TFSI and the electric motor achieve 180 kW system output (245 hp) and a system torque of 400 Nm The sprint from zero to 100 km/h takes 7.3 seconds in both the Q3 45 TFSI e and the Sportback, and both models reach their top speed at 210 km/h. The electric motor is also the power source of the Q3 45 TFSI e and the Sportback. In the NEDC cycle, the Q3 45 TFSI e consumes 1.7 to 1.4 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. For the Q3 Sportback 45 TFSI e, the figures are also 1.7 to 1.4 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. The total range for both models is around 710 kilometers - proof of their high suitability for everyday use.
