The Audi A3 Sportback 45 TFSI e - Four driving modes for high efficiency

In "Auto Hybrid" mode, the main operating mode, the combustion engine and electric motor share the work intelligently. Depending on the situation and the driver's wishes, the car can sail, recuperate - in both overrun and braking - or boost together with the e-machine and TFSI. If the driver selects the "Battery hold" or "Battery charge" modes, the hybrid management system keeps the battery's state of charge constant or increases it in a targeted manner. The EV button prioritizes the electric drive. The driver controls other functions via the central MMI display, the six-speed S tronic transmission or the Audi drive select driving dynamics system. Special displays keep him informed about the activity of the drive: The digital instrument cluster, for example, shows the power currently being called up, the drive mode, the battery's state of charge and the ranges. The MMI display also visualizes the energy flows.
