Overview
- Audi officially unveiled the A2 e-tron and will open orders on Thursday, September 10 with first deliveries scheduled for December 2026 from the Ingolstadt plant.
- Audi calls the A2 its most efficient production car with a WLTP consumption from 12.8 kWh/100 km and an aerodynamic drag coefficient down to cW 0.24, though early drives show higher consumption in realistic conditions.
- The A2 is built on Volkswagen Group’s MEB+ platform and offers three gross battery sizes — 52 kWh and 61 kWh using lithium‑iron‑phosphate (LFP) cell‑to‑pack packs and an 84 kWh nickel‑mangan‑cobalt (NMC) pack — yielding WLTP ranges up to about 646 km depending on the variant.
- Charging and energy features vary by battery: DC charging peaks near 100–105 kW for the LFP packs and up to 183 kW for the big NMC pack with 10–80% times around 24–29 minutes, and the car supports bidirectional power export for V2L and Vehicle‑to‑Home with discharge allowed roughly between 20% and 80% state‑of‑charge.
- Audi positions the A2 e-tron as a premium compact alternative to VW’s ID.3 Neo with rear‑wheel drive motor options up to 240 kW, a starting price around €38,200, Microsoft‑linked software and OTA support to broaden Audi’s electric entry lineup.
