With the A2 E-Tron, Audi hopes not only to build on the legacy of its earlier internal combustion compact car, the A2 – but also achieve exceptional efficiency by combining both low energy consumption with extended range. “The Audi A2 has been a constant in my career ever since I joined the Volkswagen Group in the 1990s. Even then, its groundbreaking three-liter version made efficiency its hallmark,” says Audi CEO Gernot Döllner. “This is precisely the vision we are carrying forward with the new A2 e-tron: outstanding efficiency, excellent everyday usability, and a clear understanding of what customers expect from modern electric mobility.”
Further details about the model, which will debut this autumn with a starting price of €38,200, have now been revealed by the Ingolstadt-based Volkswagen subsidiary. Audi has released new photos that, for the first time, show the complete body without the camouflage seen in earlier teaser shots. Instead, the compact EV is now presented in a design wrap that reveals almost all its lines. You can view the photos below in our image gallery – although images of the interior are still not available.
The most interesting details, however, relate to the technology. Audi has now provided specifics about the Audi A2 E-Tron 140 kW variant with the Efficiency Package. This model will be equipped with an LFP battery featuring a capacity of 61kWh, of which 58kWh are net usable. This battery is paired with the APP350 electric drive from the Volkswagen Group, which is already used in the VW ID.3 Neo, the facelifted Cupra Born, and the MEB models from Škoda.
