Audi A3 e-tron is now cheaper, but still struggles to make its case
Audi has dropped the price of the A3 e-tron by $5000, despite adding more equipment.

In tandem with launch of the Q7 e-tron plug-in hybrid, Audi has released an updated version of the A3 e-tron.

The A3 Sportback was the first of Audi's e-tron line to launch in New Zealand and, like the Q7 e-tron, is the second highest performance vehicle in its range. At least until the RS3 Sportback is released later this year.

Available as a single model, the A3 e-tron price has dropped from $75,000 down to $69,900 for the new version, but with a decent hike in standard equipment as well.

A3 e-tron isn't without some endearing features - like the plug-in point hidden behind the four rings on the grille.

Audi hasn't made any changes to the powertrain for the updated model, so the A3 e-tron still packs the same 110kW/250Nm 1.4-litre petrol engine hooked up to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, and a 75kW/330Nm electric motor powered by an 8.8kWh lithium-ion battery pack.
