Ein Video über die Sinnlosigkeit von Hybriden!

Summary

In this video, we compare the Audi A6 Hybrid and Audi A6 E-Tron, highlighting key differences in design, performance, and cost. The hybrid offers a slightly longer length but less interior space compared to the electric model, which boasts a larger boot and faster charging capabilities. Both vehicles have 367 PS, but the hybrid uses a combination of a 2L four-cylinder engine and an electric motor, while the E-Tron is fully electric with a larger battery offering a range of over 600 km. We also delve into the real-world energy consumption, cost comparisons, and government subsidies, with the E-Tron ultimately proving to be more cost-effective in the long run.

Takeaways

• 😀 Hybrid models offer the best of both worlds, combining electric driving with fuel consumption, making them more versatile.
• 😀 The Audi A6 Hybrid and A6 E-tron both offer 360+ horsepower, but the A6 Hybrid is slightly longer, while the E-tron is wider and higher.
• 😀 The A6 E-tron provides significantly more boot space, including a front trunk, unlike the Hybrid which has a four-cylinder engine at the front.
• 😀 Both the Hybrid and E-tron models weigh almost the same, and their loading capacity and towing capabilities are surprisingly similar.
• 😀 Despite having more tech and an extra combustion engine, the A6 Hybrid costs almost the same as the E-tron, around €75,000.
• 😀 The interiors of both vehicles are similar, but the E-tron feels more spacious and has a better storage capacity compared to the Hybrid model.
• 😀 The A6 Hybrid includes more premium features, like a panoramic glass roof, while the E-tron’s interior feels a bit simpler.
• 😀 Both cars feature similar driving interfaces, including touch-sensitive buttons and a large center console, but the E-tron provides better storage options.
• 😀 The A6 Hybrid runs on a 2.0L engine paired with an electric motor, offering a combined 367 PS and a driving range of 104 km on electric power alone.
• 😀 The A6 E-tron, with a larger 94.9 kWh battery, offers a range of 600+ km and charges much faster, taking just 21 minutes to charge from 10% to 80%.
• 😀 When driving in cold conditions, both models perform similarly in terms of fuel consumption, with the Hybrid using more fuel once the electric range is exhausted.
• 😀 On average, the A6 Hybrid costs more per 100 km when compared to the E-tron, primarily due to higher gasoline consumption when the battery is empty.

Q & A

What are the main differences in size between the Audi A6 Hybrid and the Audi A6 E-Tron?

The Audi A6 Hybrid is slightly longer than the E-Tron, while the E-Tron is wider and taller. The E-Tron also has a larger trunk and an additional front trunk, unlike the Hybrid, which features a four-cylinder combustion engine.

How do the interior features differ between the two models?

The Hybrid has more premium features, such as a panoramic glass roof and a more refined climate control menu. The E-Tron, however, provides more storage space and has a simpler, less elaborate interior design.

Which model offers more power and better performance?

Both the Hybrid and the E-Tron offer 367 PS (horsepower). However, the E-Tron delivers higher torque (565 Nm compared to 500 Nm in the Hybrid), and the Hybrid features all-wheel drive, while the E-Tron is rear-wheel drive.

How do the two vehicles perform in cold weather conditions?

In cold conditions, the Hybrid's electric range drops significantly, with the range reduced to 2% and eventually depleting. The E-Tron, however, maintains better performance even in extremely low temperatures.

What are the fuel consumption figures for both models under highway conditions?

Under highway driving, the E-Tron uses 23.9 kWh/100 km, which translates to a range of 397 km per full charge. The Hybrid, with a depleted battery, consumes 8.6 liters of fuel per 100 km, offering a range of 534 km per tank.

What are the total costs for driving 10,000 km in each model?

For the Hybrid, driving 10,000 km with a mix of electric and fuel use costs €1,117, including both electricity and fuel costs. For the E-Tron, the total cost for the same distance is €715.50, due to lower electricity consumption and the absence of fuel costs.

How does the cost of the vehicles compare?

Both the Audi A6 Hybrid and the Audi A6 E-Tron are priced similarly at around €75,000 in their base models. However, the E-Tron benefits from a €3,000 government subsidy for electric vehicles, reducing its effective price.

What government incentives are available for these vehicles?

The Audi A6 E-Tron qualifies for a €3,000 government subsidy for fully electric vehicles, whereas the Audi A6 Hybrid is eligible for a €1,500 subsidy. Additionally, the E-Tron has lower annual tax costs (€0) compared to the Hybrid (€40).

Which vehicle has a more user-friendly driving experience?

The Hybrid features a smoother driving experience thanks to the combined power of the electric motor and combustion engine, offering a more responsive feel in lower-speed conditions. The E-Tron, with its rear-wheel drive, is quieter and more stable, though it has a more direct and sometimes twitchy steering feel at higher speeds.

How do the two models compare in terms of driving range?

The E-Tron, with its larger battery, offers an impressive range of over 600 km on a full charge, while the Hybrid offers a shorter range due to its smaller electric battery, capable of up to 104 km on electric power alone.
