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.

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.

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).

Because of this, you may find that this is the
mode you drive in most.

Audi energy ______
Diminishes the footprint.
Not the range.

We didn’t set out to just revolutionize transportation—we are also pioneering a
range of ser vices for the e-tron® that defines automotive leadership for drivers who
understand a car is more than just that. Through a lower carbon footprint and a new
solar partnership, these programs usher in practicality and design with a purpose.
There’s more to the evolution of the automotive landscape than just a lot of
advanced engineering. It takes a holistic approach that is bold and effective.
That means things like helping offset carbon output, from the manufac -
turing and assembly of the A3 Sportback e-tron at the plant to the solar
partnerships that help qualified owners realize the benefits of generating
their own, clean, renewable energy.
2 It’s all meant to help make a large
impact from your roof top to half way around the world.

3 The number of carbon offsets provided thr

ough the program is
based on assumptions and estimates regarding emissions occurring from the manufacture, distribution and use of the
Audi A3 e-tron through the first 50,000 miles. As such, the offsets provided may not fully account for actual carbon
emissions of the vehicle due to variations in electrical grid, source of\
electricity, vehicle maintenance and condition, actual
driving habits and behavior, and other variables.
