2016 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron REVIEW – This PHEV is FAB
OF ALL THE PLUG-IN HYBRIDS ON SALE, AUDI'S A3 E-TRON PRESENTS THE BEST CASE FOR EV MOTORING WITH A BIT OF FLAIR.
It challenges preconceived notions that hybrids are boring and doesn’t wave the “greenie” flag about by its styling. Technically, it doesn’t have any direct competitors, but there are others about (like the Outlander PHEV) that offer something similar under the bonnet, but fall short of the style and finish of the Audi.
Attractive looks, a beautiful interior, and hybrid-electric driving with small-car practicality means the A3 e-tron is entirely usable as everyday transport, but the price is what will keep most people at bay.
