Consider it a quiet strength. With an impressive power-to-weight ratio, the 102-hp electric motor in the A3 Sport-
back e-tron® delivers nearly instantaneous torque, and plent y of it. And that makes for an exhilarating driving
experience, especially when navigating a busy cit y street. Of course, all that punchy power wouldn’t be possible
without the amazingly energy-dense and compact lithium-ion batter y pack. What does all this mean for drivers
of other cars? That the smooth, nearly inaudible E V operation is powerful enough to give them a special kind of
silent treatment as you leave them in the rear view mirror.
Generates possibilities.
Not lag time.
Electric performance ______
With its extensive cooling and shielding com-
ponents, the A3 e-tron battery pack provides
peak electric performance with very little loss
of battery life over time.

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.
