Volkswagen is pulling its gasoline-powered sports cars off the market
The Volkswagen automotive group is taking steps to electrify its sports models in order to phase out gasoline-powered vehicles from the market. She has a new strategy.
Electrification is in full swing, and this is very clear for the German automaker, which is slowly saying goodbye to the engines of its gasoline-powered sports cars.
A prime example is the Audi Q4 e-tron, which will soon have an electric version that will have an affordable price to be able to position itself in the electrified car market.
This situation could mean that the German firm that owns Audi is starting to say goodbye to gasoline-powered sports cars to make way for the electric line entirely.
New electric models from Volkswagen
For now, Audi has announced that the A1 and Q2, its smallest models, will not have new generations but will be replaced by electric cars.
Another announcement from the German firm, according to the website Auto Motor und Sport, the Audi A3 Sedan will no longer have a petrol engine version as the model will be fully electric.
The Volkswagen Group is preparing its "New Car" strategy, which includes the electrification of its models, which will gradually replace gasoline internal combustion engines.
Volkswagen's new system and strategy
The new A3 model will be built on the Volkswagen Group's Scalable Systems Platform (SSP), which is being developed to support electric vehicles as part of its new strategy.
But the first model with SSP will be the Volkswagen Project Trinity, a next-generation electric vehicle that will set new standards in both charging speed and driving range.
The German firm emphasized that the Trinity will have software updates that require little to no replacement of factory hardware, a benefit for new car owners.
Updating the software
Electrification is Volkswagen's bet as the Trinity will launch with Tier 2 autonomous tech and then give way to a Tier 4 upgrade that will be wireless.
Returning to the A3, the German firm hasn't revealed a name, which could be the A3e-tron, nor has it revealed whether it will have two hatchback and sedan versions.
