Overview

• Fresh images of the prototype show A2-inspired proportions with split headlights, flush-style door handles, a high-mounted rear spoiler, and a full-width LED light bar.
• Reporting links the model to Volkswagen Group’s MEB+ architecture, with peer benchmarks indicating roughly 450 km of range and about 223 hp, pending official figures.
• The car will slot beneath the Q4 e-tron and is expected to undercut the new Q3 in size, targeting the small premium EV segment.
• Audi has confirmed production at Ingolstadt in 2026 with a European on-sale target of 2027, while Australian availability has not been confirmed.
• The entry model is intended to take over from the A1 and Q2 set to be discontinued in 2026, and the name could revive A2 or adopt a Q2 e-tron badge.
