What is the difference between a traditional combustion engine and a hybrid engine in the Audi A2?

I am looking into buying an Audi A2 and I am wondering about the difference between a traditional combustion engine and a hybrid engine. Can you provide any insights?

Hi Sarah, great question! In simple terms, a traditional combustion engine uses gasoline to power the car while a hybrid engine combines a traditional engine with an electric motor. This allows for better fuel efficiency and reduces harmful emissions. It really comes down to personal preference and how you plan to use the car. Let me know if you want any more information.

Hey Sarah, from a technical standpoint, a hybrid engine utilizes a regenerative braking system to capture energy as the car slows down and stores it in the battery. This energy is then used to assist the engine during acceleration. This makes for a smoother and more efficient driving experience. Hope this helps!
