Audi A3 e-tron EV Expected in 2013
 

Audi is now talking up a new version of the e-tron that is an electric version of its most popular vehicle, the A3. The new version of the e-tron will be the first EV wearing the Audi crest to hit the commercial market. The vehicle is expected to debut at dealers at some point in 2013.

The A3 e-tron will use a 26.5kWh lithium ion battery pack that is situated in the center of the car under the floor and trunk. Despite the battery pack infringing on the truck space, the car still sports an ample 265 liters of cargo space. The car is front wheel drive with 100kw of power and 270Nm of torque. Car Advice cites the acceleration of the vehicle at 0-100km/h in 11.2 seconds with a top speed of 140km/h.
