Operation with natural gas or biomethane makes the compact model economical and more climate-friendly with low emissions. More than half of them sell biomethane produced entirely from waste, and this number is increasing. With this fuel, driving is nearly climate-neutral. Audi first introduced an A3 Sportback g-tron in 2014.
