EXCLUSIVE: A super-hot RS3 will top the electric Audi A3 range when it arrives in 2027, with a new platform, advanced tech and a 435-mile range ⚡

The A3 line’s electrification aligns with recent comments by Audi CEOSpeaking to German magazine Wirtschaftswoche, Duesmann explained how this switch will be underpinned. “In our current ICE portfolio, we are using three different architectures, and our BEV [battery-] offer is already based on two different architectures: the MEB and PPE [Premium Platform Electric].

Among the advantages offered by the new SSP architecture over today’s MEB structure are a lower floor height and greater modularity for increased differentiation between models. The SSP platform is also designed to support a new 800V electric architecture. This will offer significantly fasterthan the 400V system of existing MEB-based models and enable speeds of up to 270kW, which is good for an 80-mile top-up in 10 minutes. Duesmann said the SSP architecture will use what he calls a “unified cell format” and offer a range of up to 435 miles.
