Audi Revives A2 Name for Ultra‑Efficient A2 e‑tron
Aerodynamic bodywork with drivetrain changes and a 61 kWh LFP cell‑to‑pack battery support Audi’s push to cut energy use ahead of an autumn reveal.
Overview
- This week Audi published a preliminary WLTP consumption figure of 12.8 kWh per 100 km and said the number makes the A2 the most efficient Audi to date.
- Audi says a low drag coefficient of 0.24 is achieved through a rounded front, flowing roofline, active air intake, air curtains and underbody aero that together reduce highway energy demand.
- The A2 uses a 61 kWh cell‑to‑pack LFP battery reported as about 58 kWh usable, charges at roughly 89.6 percent on a wallbox and will offer vehicle‑to‑load and vehicle‑to‑home discharge in selected markets.
- Early press driving recorded 8.77 km/kWh on a mixed low‑speed route—an extrapolated ~480 km from a 58 kWh pack—and Audi confirms peak DC charging around 105 kW with 10–80% in about 26 minutes.
- Audi plans a full reveal in autumn with European sales due late 2026, positioning the A2 as a cost‑conscious, range‑focused compact EV built on Volkswagen Group underpinnings that will press rivals such as BMW’s forthcoming small hatch.
