Deciding between an electric Audi vehicle or a plug-in hybrid Audi vehicle.

Audi has been one of the most forward-thinking automakers in the industry, specifically in the luxury vehicle industry, when it comes to electrified powertrains. Audi has one of the most comprehensive luxury electric vehicle lineups on the market while also offering a full range of plug-in hybrid luxury vehicles.

New Audi electric vehicles include the Audi Q4 e-tron, the Audi e-tron GT sedan, and the Audi e-tron SUV. You also find plug-in hybrid versions of the Audi Q5, Audi A7, and Audi A8.

Differences between plug-in hybrid vehicles and electric vehicle

A plug-in hybrid vehicle has a battery, an electric motor, and a gas engine. An electric vehicle just has the battery and electric motors. A plug-in hybrid vehicle does offer all electric capability, but the smaller battery means that the all-electric range is much smaller. Audi plug-in hybrid vehicles usually offer a range of between 25 and 40 km depending on conditions and the vehicle.

If you drive less than 40 km per day, there is a good chance that you can do your full commute by using little or no fuel at all. However, you also have the gas engine which means that you can drive longer distances without having to worry about charging your vehicle.

Plug-in hybrid vehicles can be a good option for consumers who aren’t ready to make a full jump to electric vehicles yet but do want improved efficiency and better performance.

That said, if you are ready to make the jump to electric vehicles, you will find that Audi electric cars and SUVs deliver over 350 km of range, and they charge exceptionally quickly. They also deliver better performance than gas powered vehicles thanks to more ample torque that is delivered sooner. And they deliver the level of luxury that you have become accustomed to in an Audi vehicle. Visit us today and test drive both types of vehicles.
