ing and charging habits, weather and temperature, battery age and vehicle condition. Battery capacity decreases with time and use. See owner’s manual for details
3 Ideally, your e-tr

on must be traveling
above 60 mph under load in order for the gasoline-powered engine to most efficiently recharge the battery in Charge Battery mode.
4 Always o

bey all speed and traffic laws.
Open to travel.
Not limits.
By effectively harnessing the advantages
of two energy sources, the A3 Sportback
e-tron excels at both short commutes
and long hauls.Go ahead, make those weekend getaway plans. The A3 Sportback e-tron® affords you the freedom
to drive gasoline-free during the week. How’s this? With an expected electric range of between
16 and 19 miles (final technical adjustments are being tested and implemented) from a fully charged
battery, a substantial amount of your daily driving needs can be met before your next recharge,
while the gasoline engine lets you venture on longer journeys whenever it suits you.
1 That’s because
once the battery charge gets down to its reserve supply, the gasoline engine engages and helps
the vehicle operate as a highly efficient hybrid (and one that provides pure Audi driving enjoyment,
with a combined 204 hp and nearly instantaneous torque), letting you conquer some serious miles
in any direction before needing to refuel.
2 The result? Your travel options are wide open.

Sport mode
Using all available power fr

om both the com-
bustion engine and electric motor, Sport mode
helps deliver the sportiest driving characteristics.
Selected by shifting to S, its unique boosting
feature uses the combined powertrain’s maxi-
mum torque output for all-out performance.

Above all else, this is an Audi. As such, it should embody the thrilling driving experi-
ence the brand is known for. That’s where the 1.4-liter TFSI engine comes into play.
A perfect companion for the electric motor, it provides a significant boost in per-
formance when called upon (shif t into Sport mode, and you’ll undoubtedly agree).
Combined, they make for a compelling 204 hp and 258 lb-f t of torque, and a 0- to
62-mph
1 time of 7.6 seconds, all more than enough to ensure that the fun factor is
not diminished in the least.
Eliminates anxiety.
Not driving fun.

Information displays
The power meter provides the over all power
output, drive status and battery charge status,
while the driver information display in the cen-
ter shows the range and consumption figures
for both electricity and gasoline.
Cargo space

The clever positioning of the compact battery


module underneath the rear seat ensures
that rear cargo space is uncompromised.
Which means the functionality of the Sport -
back design can be used to its full potential.
Distinctive design

A three-spok

e multifunction steering wheel
and leather seating surfaces greet you as
you climb inside. From there, you’ll notice
how the minimalist design of the center
console, elegantly placed inlays and unique
aluminum-optic air vent surrounds give the
interior a clean, modern look.
Offers space.
Not compromise.
Interior space ______
A special effort was made to place the
advanced energy storage components so
they would have minimal effect on interior
comfort or functionality.A sense of space with room to back it up. While some engineers of PHE Vs may sacrifice cargo volume
for the sake of batter y placement, we took a different approach. Our engineers worked tirelessly
to package the A3 Sportback e-tron® hybrid system technology in a way that would have a nearly
imperceptible effect on interior space or comfort. This is particularly apparent in the rear cargo area,
where the batter y and fuel tank are positioned so that minimal space would be lost. The result, as
you can see, is an interior that is equal parts spacious and inviting.

The A3 Sportback e-tron® is a pioneer within the Audi lineup, but others will follow in its footsteps. In fact,
over the next few years, that statement will manifest itself with the introduction of more e-tron models.
While some may consider this plan challenging, we know it’s a worthwhile endeavor, particularly when
you consider the increasing importance placed on energy independence and sustainabilit y. It goes without
saying that this will be a momentous shif t in the traditional transportation narrative, but some things will
never change: our dedication, passion and drive to build the most inspiring vehicles on the road.

road, the A3 Sportback e-tron is blazing the
trail into an electrifying new automotive world.
Transforming the
wa y we drive. Not our
passion for it.
