Audi A3 Sportback TFSIe

|July 2025
Plug-in hybrid version of this posh family hatchback returns with a useful upgrade to its battery
AS IF TO tap in on the Hyrox fitness craze that currently has a grip on social media, the updated Audi A3 TFSIe plug-in hybrid (PHEV) has been honing its strength and endurance.
Like swollen muscles, its battery has grown from 10.4kWh to 19.7kWh (usable capacity). This extends its official electric range from 40 miles to 88 miles, matching the official figure of the related Volkswagen Golf eHybrid and trouncing the Mercedes-Benz A250e (52 miles) and Toyota Prius (up to 47 miles). It also means a low (6%) company car tax rating.
