Audi A3 will be all electric

Audi intends to produce an electric car that will be based on the next-generation platform from the Volkswagen Group, which should replace the Audi A3. This was hinted at by CEO of Audi, Markus Duesmann.

“We are moving towards the goal of becoming a 100 percent electric brand. By 2027, we want to offer a fully electric car in every segment. We recently decided to launch an additional electric entry-level model below the Audi Q4 e-tron,” said the Audi director. Markus Duesmann.

Duesmann said that Audi plans to produce 20 new models by 2025, and more than half will be electric. The arrival of the electric successor of the A3 model is expected after the appearance of the Q6 e-tron, the first model based on the new and more premium platform Premium Platform Electric, or PPE.

The new electric model will be a four-door hatchback and a four-door sedan, according to Autocar. It is expected to be based on the SSP platform, which is currently being developed under the code name Project Trinity. It should bring an improvement over the current MEB platform and offer a range of up to 700 kilometers. Also, it will enable charging up to 270 kW, which means that a ten-minute charge will be enough to cover 129 kilometers. The new electric Audi will use Volkswagen’s new Unified Cell battery technology.

Audi Activesphere

Audi is an unveiled luxury coupe that transforms into a pickup. It is Audi Activesphere, one of the concepts with which the German company hints at its vision of future mobility.

A large number of technological solutions is what distinguishes this concept. Many of them are still far from reality, but some could arrive soon, like new lights that fit decisively into attractive designs. The car is designed in the style of Audi’s Sportback and Allroad models, but as a versatile electric vehicle similar to an SUV. It is equipped with air suspension with adaptive shock absorbers, and the ground clearance of 209 mm can be increased by 40 mm. This is matched by an exterior design that features vertical studs and metal lines that visualize increased height. There is also a set of 22-inch wheels.

When it comes to the rear of the car, the design of the rear window is in line with the roof and the design of the rear fascia provides better access to the trunk area. The movable partition opens when the cargo space is used, and also serves to separate the interior.

In the morning, the dash, steering wheel and pedals are gone, and there’s a large soundbar and full-width air vents. The front seats are connected to the central console that provides heating and cooling. Special attention is drawn to the AR headsets for the driver and passengers, which enable the display of virtual content such as control panels and information screens. This frees up space in the interior that is normally reserved for screens and controls, as a large number of functions are performed via AR headsets.

The Audi Activesphere is powered by two electric motors producing 242 hp (178 kW) and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm) of torque. Also, the car has all-wheel drive. It is built on the Premium Platform Electric platform developed in cooperation with Porsche, and is equipped with a 100 kW battery.
