Overview
A pleasing blend of hybrid and hatchback, the A3 e-tron gives you Audi cachet and power, plus an EPA-rated 83–86 MPGe. In fairness, in our test, we saw just 40 MPGe, but by most every performance measure the A3 e-tron still beats the BMW i3, the Chevrolet Volt, and the Ford C-Max Energi. A turbo four and a six-speed automatic team with an electric motor and battery. Electric-only range is rated at 16 miles. With 14 cubic feet of cargo space, this hatchback is roomy enough for everyday tasks.
