Overview
- Audi published preliminary WLTP figures on Tuesday showing the 140 kW A2 e‑tron with the optional efficiency package consumes 12.8 kWh per 100 km, which the company says makes it its most efficient production model.
- The car’s aerodynamics deliver a 0.24 drag coefficient and features such as air curtains, gap reducers and an active cool‑air intake that Audi says cut WLTP energy use by up to 0.9 kWh per 100 km.
- Audi says drivetrain changes — including silicon carbide power electronics, a redesigned stator winding and a new low‑friction transmission oil — boost drive efficiency by up to 10 percent.
- The A2 e‑tron will offer a 58 kWh (61 kWh gross) lithium‑iron‑phosphate battery option, an adapted cooling strategy that raises wallbox charging efficiency to about 89.6 percent, Vehicle‑to‑Load exports at up to 2.3 kW via a trunk socket, and Vehicle‑to‑Home capability.
- A briefly posted and now‑deleted Audi Germany web page reportedly listed extra power variants, a 403‑mile range claim and a €38,200 starting price, but those details remain unverified and Audi plans a production reveal in autumn.
