At the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, German automotive company Volkswagen Group partially revealed its plug-in hybrid (PHEV) rollout plan for the next several years, which are set to launch beginning in 2014, across its three biggest brands: Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche.

The chart calls for seven specific new vehicles set to launch beginning in 2014; four Audis, two Volkswagens, and one Porsche. It doesn’t give exact dates or an order by which they’ll be launched, but some of that is relatively easy to predict based on current product cycles.

First up, Audi will introduce the A3, A6, A8 and Q7 e-trons. There’s no word on specifications but the company has already confirmed the A3 e-tron will have a plug-in hybrid powertrain that consists of a 150 HP (110 kW) 1.4-liter TFSI petrol engine and a 102 HP (75 kW) electric motor. This will give the five-door hatchback a combined maximum output of 204 HP (150 kW) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque.

Moving on, the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid will likely feature the same plug-in hybrid powertrain as the Panamera S E-Hybrid. This means we can expect it to use a 320 HP (235 kW) 3.0-liter V6 engine, a 95 HP (70 kW) electric motor and a 9.4 kWh lithium-ion battery. There’s no word on how efficient the model will be but the Panamera S E-Hybrid consumes 3.1 L/100km (75.8 mpg US or 91.1 mpg UK) and has CO2 emissions of just 71 g/km.

Last but not least, Volkswagen will launch the Golf TwinDrive and Passat TwinDrive. Little is known about them but they are expected to use same plug-in hybrid powertrain as the Audi A3 e-tron. However, the magazine speculates the Passat TwinDrive could have an upgraded electric motor to help compensate for the car’s additional mass.
