The all-new 2016 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron® plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, the first electrified Audi sold in the U.S. has a 204 horsepower 1.4 liter TFSI® engine combined with a liquid-cooled, permanent magnet-driven electric motor mated to a six-speed S tronic® transmission. The Audi A3 Sportback e-tron® will start at $38,825 (including $925 destination charges), the Premium Plus model starts at $42,925 and the Prestige at $47,725 - or less depending on the buyer's qualification for applicable state and federal incentives and tax credits. 240-volt charging replenishes the battery in about 2 hours and 15 minutes.
