Audi Revives A2 Name for Ultra‑Efficient A2 e‑tron

The company says new technical data show big drivetrain, battery and aerodynamic gains that let a smaller LFP pack deliver much lower energy use and support home bidirectional charging.

Overview

  • Audi released technical details on Tuesday that show the A2 e‑tron’s 140 kW version with the optional Efficiency Package achieved a preliminary WLTP consumption of 12.8 kWh per 100 km.
  • The compact hatchback uses a 61 kWh LFP cell‑to‑pack battery with 58 kWh usable capacity and a revised thermal strategy that raises wallbox charging efficiency to 89.6 percent.
  • Audi says the car’s drag coefficient is 0.24 and that aerodynamic features such as air curtains, underbody panels and an active cooling intake cut official energy use by up to 0.9 kWh/100 km.
  • The electric drive is about 10 percent more efficient because of silicon carbide power electronics, thinner motor laminations, redesigned stator windings and lower‑friction transmission oil, and the car supports Vehicle‑to‑Load and Vehicle‑to‑Home charging.
  • Audi confirms a full production reveal is planned for autumn 2026 with European sales late‑2026 or early‑2027, and it cautions that reported full range, pricing and additional variants from a now‑deleted German webpage remain unconfirmed pending the official launch.
