The plug-in hybrid is the first use of the German vehicle brand's e-tron moniker on a production car.

In all-electric mode, the 2016 Audi A3 e-tron's range is 31 miles with a fully-charged 8.8-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. When electrical energy is exhausted, a turbocharged 1.4-liter TFSI engine takes over. The equivalent fuel economy calculation for the 2016 A3 e-tron has been rated at 83 miles per gallon. Standard equipment on the 2016 Audi A3 e-tron included a 10-speaker stereo system, rear view camera and electronic cruise control.
