Are you interested in going with an electrified engine for your next luxury car? Audi has a lot of options and a lot of models in its lineup. The Audi new vehicle lineup includes both plug-in hybrid vehicles and fully electric vehicles.
Examples include plug-in hybrid versions of the Audi Q5, Audi A7, and Audi A8. The Audi electric vehicle lineup is even more impressive with a range of new models that include the Audi Q4 E-tron, the Audi E-tron GT sedan, and the Audi E-tron SUV.
You may be wondering which is right for you. Let's start by looking at the differences between a plug-in hybrid Audi and an electric Audi.
A plug-in hybrid luxury vehicle uses a combination of an electric motor, a battery, and a gas engine. An electric Audi vehicle doesn't have a gas engine, but it has a bigger electric motor and a bigger battery.
With an Audi electric vehicle, you will get over 350 km of range with a fully charged battery which you can charge on a level II outlet or a level III charger. You will also get better performance as the quick torque and dynamics of an electric vehicle lead to quicker accelerations and better all-around performance compared to a plug-in hybrid vehicle or a traditional gas vehicle.
On the other hand, plug-in hybrid vehicles have a gas engine which means that even if the battery is depleted, you can still keep going. The range in fully electric mode will be less, of course, averaging about 30 km. That means that if you are driving short commutes during the week, you can get through them without using any fuel or very little fuel. This is an important consideration, because it also means that if you want to drive longer distances, you don't have to worry about charging your Audi PHEV vehicle.
Ultimately, it all depends on your needs and the right option will depend on how you intend to use the vehicle and where you drive most. Let our team of experts help you today.
