Overview
- Audi disclosed Tuesday that it has started a staged rollout of camouflaged images and technical details and that a full public reveal will follow in autumn with orders to open then and first deliveries expected late 2026.
- The company reports a provisional WLTP consumption of 12.8 kWh per 100 km for the 140 kW variant when fitted with an efficiency package, a figure Audi says would make the A2 its most efficient production model to date.
- Audi confirmed use of silicon‑carbide (SiC) inverters and a range of drivetrain changes—an updated permanent‑magnet motor, lower‑friction gearbox oil and a long final drive—to cut electrical losses and improve efficiency.
- The A2 e‑tron is built on the Volkswagen Group’s evolved MEB platform and will offer multiple power and battery options (reported net capacities around 50, 58 and 79 kWh) while reportedly positioning above the VW ID.3 Neo with a provisional starting price near €38,000.
- Audi projects a top WLTP range of up to 649 km for the 170 kW/79 kWh variant, plans bidirectional charging in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and cautions that WLTP numbers, pricing and some specs are company‑reported pre‑production figures that may change.
