2016 AUDI A3 SPORTBACK E-TRON fuel reserve

1 Based on preliminary manufacturer’s estimates. 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.

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.

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.

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.
