Audi A3 e-tron for sale- we have new and used e-tron's.
Total sales for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles for 2014 were around 40,000 units. Although they drop in the ocean compared to the total market, we can expect to see increase the market share for plug-in hybrids.
Audi enter the market with a revamp classic A3 as part of their e-tron range, with the Audi A3 sportback e-tron. Unlike other manufacturers like BMW with the i3, rather than creating a brand new concept, Audi have cleverly taken an existing best seller, the A3 and produced the e-tron plug-in hybrid version.
Audi opened a pop-up store in January 2015 in the London Westfield shopping Centre, Stratford, to showcase this HEV to shoppers, the national rollout to Audi dealers across the UK took place in mid-January 2015, so the next few months will give us a sign to how successful this car will be.
The A3 e-tron officially went on sale in August 2014 across Europe, two years after its unveiling in 2012, but showing signs from initial sales data of being a very popular HEV. By July 2014, Audi already had 105 dealers e-ready across Germany, with around 500 dealers across Europe selected to sell its vehicle for a basic price of around 38,000 euros, not taking into account any government incentives.
Audi believe the e-tron marks another big step’s towards sustainable individual mobility. Audi dealers only had positive responses to the A3 sportback e-tron when it went on sale, each one, showing that the combination of efficient drive technology and a sustainable energy source is really what the market is looking for.
