Audi introduces new CNG A3 Sportback

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 16, 2020

Audi is adding a new member to its A3 family: the A3 Sportback 30 g-tron natural gas vehicle. Operation with natural gas or biomethane makes the compact model economical and more climate-friendly with low emissions. With full gas tanks, the car has an NEDC range of up to 495 (307.6 The A3 Sportback 30 g-tron 1.5
