2016 AUDI A3 SPORTBACK E-TRON fuel consumption

PHEV ______
Offers a solution.
Not less excitement.
We didn’t come to this answer overnight. Over the years, Audi has tested numerous t ypes of alternative powertrains,
going back to our first hybrid concept vehicle in 1989. As our testing advanced, it became clear that one solution stood
apart in offering uncompromising performance and versatilit y for today’s drivers. The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle
(PHE V) offers the cleaner, lower-cost operation of an electric vehicle coupled with the long-distance-cruising conve -
nience of a gasoline drivetrain. Essentially, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds in one beautifully designed automobile. The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV)
offers the ideal blend of efficiency and range
without sacrificing the performance charac -
teristics Audi is known for.

__ 1.4-liter TFSI® engine
The 1.4-liter TFSI engine delivers 150 hp—a
significant performance boost when called
upon—and provides the capability to travel
many more miles once the initial battery
charge has fallen to its reserve supply.
1
__ Electric motor
With 102 hp and nearly instantaneous
torque, the liquid-cooled, permanent-mag-
net-driven electric motor delivers the kind
of impressive off-the-line acceleration that
other city drivers will envy.
__ Range
Range anxiety? That’s not a term you’ll ever
hear associated with the A3 e-tron. That’s
because, with a range comparable to a
conventional vehicle (when both the electric
motor and gasoline engine are used), you’ll
rarely have to think twice about where you
want to go.
1
__ PHEV
The combination of a battery-powered electric
motor and a gasoline engine (both designed
to propel the vehicle together or independent -
ly) provides an effective way to cut down on
fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions, while
creating a potent blend of low-end torque and
high-end power.
1
__ Charging
Using a 240-volt power supply like the home
Audi charging system (included with vehicle
lease or purchase), the A3 e-tron can be
recharged from its reserve supply state in
about two hours and fifteen minutes.
2
__ Lithium-ion battery
Perfectly packaged beneath the rear seat, the
8.8-kWh liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery
pack provides remarkable electrical energy
storage, enough to cover many daily trips on
electric power alone.
2
__ EV driving
With between 16 and 19 miles (final technical
adjustments are being tested and implement -
ed) of pure electric range available from a fully
charged battery, a substantial amount of your
daily commute can be driven without using a
drop of gasoline.

A PHEV vehicle like the A3 Sportback e-tron® features cutting-edge engineering, but that doesn’t
mean how it all works is too difficult to understand. Here are the basics.

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.
