- Audi A2 e-tron will start at €38,200 (~$44,000) in Germany, making it Audi's most affordable EV — roughly €10,000 less than the Q4 e-tron, which starts at €47,500 (~$54,000).
- The entry-level EV delivers up to 403 miles (649 km) of WLTP range, edging out the comparable Volkswagen ID.3 Neo on distance per charge.
- Audi will offer the A2 e-tron with four power outputs ranging from 125 kW to 240 kW and three battery packs (50 kWh, 58 kWh, 79 kWh).
- The electric A2 draws on the design DNA of the original egg-shaped MPV, which Audi sold over 175,000 units of between 2000 and 2005 before discontinuing it for underperforming sales.
- Gernot Döllner, Audi's CEO, said the A2 e-tron will make "entry into the Audi world easier and more relevant than ever," with Audi claiming it now has the youngest portfolio among rivals after launching 20+ new models in two years.
- Spy footage from Pro-Street.dk captured two A2 e-tron prototypes in Copenhagen with minimal camouflage ahead of the fall world premiere.
Why it matters: The €10,000 price gap between the A2 e-tron and the Q4 e-tron gives Audi a genuine entry-level EV at a time when European buyers are demanding more affordable options, and the 403-mile range beats its VW Group sibling ID.3 Neo — a meaningful competitive edge in the sub-€40K segment.
