INGOLSTADT: The Audi A2 e-tron is billed as the most efficient model in the company’s history, and promises energy consumption of just 12.8kWh/100km and a range of up to 646km (WLTP).
Improved aerodynamics reduce air resistance to a minimum.
With a drag coefficient of 0.24, the A2 e-tron delivers the best value in Audi’s compact segment.
Clear, aerodynamically optimised surfaces and carefully integrated details define the exterior.
These include a controllable cooling-air intake and a largely enclosed underbody.
The newly developed aero wheels and so-called gap reducers make a further contribution.
Integrated into the wheel-arch trim, they reduce the gap between the wheel and wheel housing.
Wing-shaped electric door handles with haptic sensors blend into the side line.
Instead of mechanical handles, Audi uses a fully electric system with intelligent sensors to operate the doors.
The door handles respond to the slightest touch: a gentle pull is all it takes to open the door. Locking requires only a light press on the sensor surface.
The A2 e-tron offers a choice of four power levels.
They range from 125kW and 350Nm in the entry-level variant, to 240kW and 545Nm in the top model.
Depending on the power level, one of three battery sizes 52, 61, or 84 kWh (gross battery capacity) – is used.
Four recuperation levels, including one-pedal driving via selector lever B, round off the efficient powertrain concept.
The vehicle with permanently excited synchronous motors and rear-wheel drive can achieve a range of up to 646km (WLTP).
The A2 e-tron 140kW with the optional efficiency package has a WLTP-measured consumption of 12.8kWh per 100km. This makes it the most efficient Audi ever.
The 84kWh battery supports fast charging at up to 183kW.
Charging from 10 to 80 percent takes 29 minutes.
The LFP battery, with a storage capacity of 52kWh, reaches the same state of charge in 24 minutes at up to 100kW, while the 61kWh battery takes 25 minutes at a charging rate of up to 105kW.
The A2 e-tron also supports bidirectional charging – the high-voltage battery can not only draw energy from the grid but also selectively supply it to external consumers.
For example, the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function can be used to power e-bikes from a power socket in the trunk or via an adapter at the charging port.
In Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, the A2 e-tron can also function as a home battery with suitable DC wall boxes via Vehicle-to-Home (V2H), feeding stored energy back into the household grid.
In the interior, the central design element is the Softwrap - a soft, fabric-covered surface that extends from the instrument panel across the doors and into the rear, creating a welcoming atmosphere.
The Fidlock fastening system provides smart organisation and modular storage solutions: Audi is the first premium carmaker to integrate the patented magnetic mechanism as standard equipment – one click, and everything is securely in place – from the cup holder to the charging cable bag.
Audi connected work includes Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Teams, and an AI-based Work Agent that keeps customers connected to their workday even while on the road.
As standard, the MMI panoramic display combines the 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit plus and the 12.8-inch curved MMI touch display – fully oriented toward the driver.
Depending on the configuration, the A2 e-tron features more than 300 components made from recycled materials, including steel, aluminium, and plastics.
More than 100 components use post-consumer recycled materials.
The A2 e-tron is built at Audi’s home plant in Ingolstadt.
There, Audi uses more than 1,200 existing production components and around 250 robots that were already in use for other models. This reduces investment and saves resources.
