The 2016 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron is a unique offering among compact luxury cars, standing out with its plug-in hybrid powertrain. Propelled by both a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor, this German-engineered machine delivers a combined 204 horsepower. Audi pairs its advanced powertrain with a 6-speed automated manual transmission and standard front-wheel drive. The e-tron delivers an impressive fuel economy of 83 MPGe combined in hybrid mode. Standard luxury appointments include a panoramic sunroof, leather seats, and advanced safety features such as a rearview camera and parking sensors. The high-tech cabin offers a 7.0-inch infotainment system complete with Audi's MMI interface, navigation, Bluetooth, and support for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A notable addition for the 2016 model year was the availability of the Sportback (hatchback) body style, making it a practicable yet sophisticated mobility solution.
