Overview
- Audi halted output of its two smallest combustion models after the last Q2 left Ingolstadt and A1 production stopped in Martorell in April 2026, bringing totals to about 887,231 Q2s and 1.39 million A1s.
- Audi will not replace the A1 and Q2 with new petrol models as it concentrates its lineup on larger, premium vehicles that are more viable under tighter emissions rules such as Euro 7.
- The A2 e-tron will become the new entry model, with series production at the Ingolstadt plant set to start in the autumn as Audi expands its electric range.
- To boost SUV capacity, a linked Q3 process begins in mid-2026 with bodies built in Győr, Hungary, then shipped by rail to Ingolstadt for painting and final assembly.
- Martorell, which built the A1, now pivots to small battery-electric cars for VW Group brands, including the Cupra Raval and the VW ID. Polo family.
