Audi's A3 e-tron to pave way for electrified vehicle push: 2 plug-in hybrids and 2 battery EVs to join lineup in coming years

摘要

PALO ALTO, Calif. - Audi's A3 Sportback e-tron launch is far more important to the brand than its modest 5,000-vehicle annual sales goal would suggest. Audi is using the launch of the low-volume plug-in hybrid to develop the sales and service infrastructure the company will need to launch four electrified vehicles slated to join its lineup in the next several years - two plug-in hybrids and two battery-electric vehicles.
