Expert Reply:
Since there are no hitches that fit the E-Tron models of your 2016 Audi A3 Sportback you'll have to go with a roof rack bike rack setup. Now if you have a totally naked roof you'd want the Rhino Rack roof rack part # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK442 for a complete rack. If you instead have rails that run front to back on the vehicle roof you'd need a Thule Roof Rack part numbers # TH711200, # TH460R, and # THKIT4035. Both of these racks use aerodynamic shaped bars which means minimized wind noise and are also very easy to install.
Then for a bike rack we have the Thule ProRide XT part # TH598004 that fits the racks mentioned by attaching to the top channels and allows you to keep the front wheel installed.
