Our hybrid drives

With a plug-in hybrid or mild hybrid: electrifying our drives is an important step along the path toward CO2-neutral mobility for everyone. While a plug-in hybrid also enables purely electric driving over longer distances thanks to the alliance of the electric motor and petrol engine, the mild hybrid optimises the efficiency of the petrol engine with a 48 V system.

For you, this means: 

  • Lower consumption, greater performance and driving comfort
  • More fun when driving off thanks to electric assistance
  • Practical electric ranges with our eHybrids for day-to-day use
  • Brake energy recuperation and driving with the TSI switched off thanks to the coasting function with our mild hybrids

Electrifying prospects: whether daily errands or spontaneous long journeys, the new Tiguan eHybrid gets you to your destination in a more relaxed way – and back again too. Thanks to the latest generation TSI petrol engine and the additional powerful electric motor, the new Tiguan eHybrid delivers a combined system power that is offered on 204PS and 272PS variants. The projected electric range for both variants is up to 62 miles. So no need for any changes in your everyday life. 

Good reasons to choose a hybrid

More power with more driving pleasure

The Touareg R eHybrid has been upgraded and impresses with new highlights. But one thing is the same: With 340 kW (462 hp) it is still the most powerful Volkswagen ever. The new version of the hightech SUV represents the continuation of a now tried, tested and proven concept: As an e-hybrid from Volkswagen R it is a symbiosis of high performance and electric efficiency. With the plug-in hybrid drive and a sufficiently charged battery you also continue to enjoy all-electric and local CO2-free short trips – impressed by the new features!

A hybrid takes you further

A plug-in hybrid takes you a long way. With daily charging, you can drive your day-to-day distances purely electrically. Over long distances, the automatic adaptation of the drive systems optimises the range and efficiency.

Together for more sustainability

Electric mobility is a great leap forward on the path toward creating a smaller CO2 footprint. Through the efficient use of renewable energy, for example, and by reducing CO2 emissions on the road. That is why we offer innovative plug-in hybrids for the switch to electric mobility. These models enable CO2-free local driving in electric mode for everyone’s day-to-day needs. Proving that everyone can make a contribution in their own way. 

Intelligent charging concept, more flexibility 

Start the day the fully electric way: with sport before work and then home for dinner without stopping to refuel. No problem with a plug-in hybrid. You can recharge its lithium-ion battery from the comfort of home. This provides you with greater day-to-day flexibility.
