and charging habits, weather and temperature, battery age and vehicle condition. Battery capacity
decreases with time and use. See owner’s manual for details.

There are those who happily accept the status quo, who are content with doing things
as they’ve always been done. And then there’s Audi. When our engineers were tasked
with designing the ultimate plug-in hybrid electric vehicle for the moment, they
made sure it wouldn’t conform to the t ypical mainstream idea of a green vehicle,
while shif ting the transportation narrative in a definitive way. They started with an
exceptional pairing—the unrivaled efficiency of electric propulsion and the incredible
energy densit y of gasoline—then engineered the ideal electric motor and gasoline
engine to harness the unique properties of both. Taken as a whole, they make the
all-new Audi A3 Sportback e-tron® the electrif ying exception to the old environmen -
tally friendly vehicle rule: saving the world requires compromise.
2 This is an Audi,
first and foremost. It just happens to do some things a little differently—including
leading the way toward sustainable mobilit y.
Energy _______
Electric motors and gasoline engines excel in
different ways. While an electric motor’s extreme
efficiency comes from its rotational motion and
minimal heat production, a gasoline engine has the
advantage of using an energy dense fuel, meaning
a small amount can go a long way.

Leadership.
Not conformity.

European model shown. 1 Based on preliminary manufacturer’s es-
timates. EPA range and fuel economy estimates not available at time of
printing. See www.fueleconomy.gov for updated information. Actual
mileage and range will vary and depend on several factors, including
driving and charging habits, weather and temperature, battery age
and vehicle condition. Battery capacity decreases with time and use.
See owner’s manual for details.
2 Battery capacity decr

eases with
time and use. Not using the vehicle for long periods can cause damage
to the high-voltage battery. See owner’s manual for details.
EV mode
Want to drive under electric power only? As


the default mode, EV mode allows you to drive
between 16 and 19 miles (final technical ad-
justments are being tested and implemented).
1
Because of this, you may find that this is the
mode you drive in most.

Audi energy — sustainable power sources and a lower carbon footprint
Audi is getting serious about sustainability. Case in point: Audi energy.
3 It starts with what the car stands for, then goes
further on your behalf, so you don’t have to. We teamed with 3Degrees®, the leading carbon offset provider, to select and
support meaningful projects that reduce emissions and improve air quality for everyone.
We chose two types and locations of projects that together maximize the positive impact Audi energy and your e-tron can
make. Because Audi is a global car company and greenhouse gas emissions are not constrained by borders, the carbon offset
projects Audi energy supports reflect both a local and global focus. Audi energy includes carbon offsets to cover the vehicle’s
production, including the battery, distribution to dealers, and driving through the warranty period of 50,000 miles.

SunPower leads the charge with:
• Record-setting solar efficiency
• Industry-leading longevity
• One-stop custom design and installation
• Monthly electric bill savings
• Dedicated SunPower/Audi sales team
•
Exclusive access to new batter

y storage solution
Solar panels on par with Audi sophistication and refinement.
We deliver excellence throughout your entire Audi experience, so it should come as no surprise that we have collaborated
with a company that delivers the same level of excellence in solar power—SunPower. Now, qualified
2 Audi owners can not only
enhance the energy efficiency of their A3 e-tron, but also dramatically lower their home energy bills. Of course, fueling your
A3 e-tron straight from the sun is just the start. All qualified
2 Audi owners can receive dedicated access to the most innovative
of SunPower technology, like the 21.5% efficient X-Series Solar Panels (the highest-efficiency panels on the market4), which
produce 70 percent more energy than conventional panels,5 while offering stunning aesthetics and unmatched reliability.6 The
Audi SunPower partnership is a rare opportunity to help secure a healthier planet. Wildlife Works
This project is a part of the UN-REDD (United Nations Programme on Reducing
Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) program, designed
to protect highly threatened forests that are critical carbon sinks—natural
absorption and storage systems of carbon dioxide. Focusing on the Kasigau
community in Kenya, who previously destroyed the forest ecosystem for
survival, and using a holistic, innovative approach, Wildlife Works targets the
root cause of the problem and ties forest preservation to improved livelihoods.
US Landfill Gas
Methane, a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide, is
created as waste decomposes. Many landfills, however, are not required to
limit or capture this gas, which is instead released into the atmosphere.
Landfill Gas Capture projects either destroy the methane before it is
released or use it to make electricity. Either of these steps reduces green-
house gas emissions and preserves air quality for the health and benefit of
surrounding communities.
