It looks like you need to transport/carry bikes on your 2016 Audi A3 E-Tron. If that is the case then I do have an option for you but they do not make a trailer hitch for the E-Tron version of the 2017 Audi A3. Therefore, the next best option to carry bikes is with a trunk mount bike rack. For this, I recommend the Yakima FullBack Bike Rack part # Y02634 for two bikes or part # Y02633 for three bikes.

The Yakima FullBack is an excellent option for you. It has anti-sway cradles to keeps the bikes from coming into contact with each other and the vehicle. It has arms that can be folded down while not in use and a four point attachment system for added security. The Yakima FullBack also comes with locks for both the bikes and rack. The weight capacity of this carrier is 35 lbs per bikes. If any of your bikes have an alternative frame you will also need the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar part # Y02531.

I have attached an install photo for you as well.
