Electric Audi A1 unveiled

Audi has unveiled the A1 e-tron, an innovative electrically-powered design study based on the A1. The new study has taken centre stage at Europe’s first major motor show of the year in Geneva. The A1 e-tron is an innovative Mega City Vehicle (MCV). Like the previously unveiled e-tron sports cars, it is electrically propelled and has a range of more than 30 miles in heavy traffic. With a peak power output of 102 PS, the A1 e-tron is also fun to drive.

When the battery’s energy supply is exhausted, it is recharged by an exceptionally compact ‘range extender’ consisting of a single-rotor Wankel (rotary) engine and an electrical generator with a charge rating of up to 15,000 Watts.


This device gives the A1 e-tron an additional range of 125 miles. This means the vehicle's average fuel consumption is 148mpg and has CO2 emissions equivalent to only 45 g/km.
