    Audi A3 E-tron

    My 184q did seem a bit more spritely than the e-tron (both not run=in though). However, the e-tron would be to replace our 4 year old A1 1.4 122 TFSI so it did seem a bit quicker than that. If the e-tron had been available in the summer then I might have been tempted to get one. But I wanted...

    Audi A3 E-tron

    If it really does 66 mpg in average use I'll be getting one. A 580 mile range figure was quoted in the early UK promotional material, and also another one where they quoted 31.1 miles electric + 553 petrol

    Audi A3 E-tron

    1. No, though I did not give it the full beans 2. Around 18 miles and 62.5mpg. Car had only done about 200 miles in total. 3. Yes I just need to understand a bit more about the economy on longer journeys. I'm attracted by the lower BIK and the ability to do short and long journeys. As a...

    Audi A3 E-tron

    The 60+ mpg from my run is hard to judge how realistic it is as I used a number of 'free' miles from the battery. The fact they claim a possible range of 582 miles (and only 30 of those could be electric only) gives me some hope that they expect to harvest a non trivial amount of energy from...

    Audi A3 E-tron

    @jetron are you getting your's on a PCP? If so would you mind sharing any of the details? I will ask Camberley to price one up for me to see how it compares to the Sportback I have.

    Audi A3 E-tron

    I drove Camberley Audi's A3 e-ton demonstrator last weekend and was impressed. Starting the car and pulling away (with no engine noise) seems pretty weird. Can't really tell which mode its in most of the time, particularly at speed as there is a fair amount of tyre noise. On a short 15 mile...

    Audi A3 E-tron

    Yes you are right. Website https://www.zap-map.com/ gives a clue to where there are charging points currently. So the car is not going to work for everyone.

    Audi A3 E-tron

    The 176mpg figure is from the 'standard' test (ECE or whatever) which means that for a large part of it is on battery only and using no fuel. The 150PS (COD) A3 has figures of 60mpg combined which equates to probably 50mpg on a good day and 45 most of the time. So with the extra weight and...

    Audi A3 E-tron

    The Audi UK publicity blurb for the A3 e-tron is 580 miles total range. Which is implying somewhere north of 60 mpg when on petrol only given 31 miles on electric only and a 40 litre petrol tank. It claims to regenerate the battery charge (KERS like) during braking so perhaps its possible ? I...
