Audi Confirms A2 e-tron as Its Most Efficient Electric Model

Near‑final photos and technical specs released in early August show silicon‑carbide inverters, a 61 kWh LFP battery and a 12.8 kWh/100 km WLTP figure ahead of the 7 September world premiere.

Overview

  • In early August Audi published near‑complete images and technical details for the A2 e‑tron, formally confirming efficiency‑focused hardware and aerodynamic measures.
  • The company says the 140 kW variant with the optional efficiency package uses silicon‑carbide (SiC) inverters and achieves a provisional WLTP consumption of 12.8 kWh per 100 km.
  • Audi lists a 61 kWh gross (58 kWh net) LFP battery for that 140 kW model with roughly 105 kW DC charging that can go from 10 to 80 percent in about 26 minutes.
  • The A2 is built on the Volkswagen Group’s modernized MEB platform and will be offered in four power levels and multiple battery sizes, with Audi claiming up to 649 km WLTP in the largest configuration.
  • Audi briefly showed a roughly €38,200 entry price on its site, plans a world premiere on 7 September 2026 and expects deliveries late 2026 or early 2027 while also promoting A6 e‑tron leasing offers in Germany.
