Audi is bringing the most efficient model in its history to the road. The new entry point into electric mobility from the brand with the four rings combines a drive system optimized for low energy consumption with outstanding aerodynamics, enabling a range of up to 401 miles. At the same time, it offers a compelling, spacious interior concept.
The design language of the A2 e-tron is engineered for high efficiency and everyday usability. Clean, aerodynamically optimized surfaces and carefully integrated details define the exterior. These include a controllable cool-air intake, a largely enclosed underbody, gap reducers integrated into the wheel arch trims that narrow the gap between the tyre and the wheel arch, and newly developed aero wheels. The result is a drag coefficient of 0.24 — the best in Audi’s compact lineup. Wing-shaped electric door handles with haptic sensors blend seamlessly into the side profile and offer exceptional ease of use. This makes it clear that the new generation of premium electric mobility at Audi is defined by technical intelligence, not by larger batteries or more power.
The A2 e-tron brings assistance features from the full-size class to the compact segment — and makes them standard equipment. Front emergency brake assist automatically intervenes in the event of an imminent head-on collision with vehicles or pedestrians at speeds up to approximately 52mph. Swerve assist helps the driver steer around an obstacle at speeds between 18 and 93 mph. Within the system limits, emergency assist detects when the driver is inactive. They are prompted to take control of the vehicle through visual, audible, and haptic cues. If they still do not respond, the system takes control of the vehicle, initiates an emergency stop, and places an emergency call. In combination with the optional Tech pro package, emergency assist can also perform a lane change onto the shoulder. Optional features include surround-view cameras with 3D modelling, park assist plus, rear emergency brake assist, and trained parking — once trained, the A2 e-tron will park automatically in the future. The likewise optional proactive occupant protection system for the front, sides, and rear detects hazards early and automatically initiates preventive protective measures — such as tightening seat belts, closing windows, and issuing warning alerts.
The shape of the Audi A2 e-tron is engineered for aerodynamics, efficient use of space, and high everyday usability. Short overhangs, a long wheelbase of 2.77 metres, and a distinctive roofline provide the foundation for a spacious feel on a compact footprint. Efficiency shapes the design of the A2 e-tron on multiple levels — from energy consumption to aerodynamics to the use of interior space.
At the front, sensors for the driver assist systems and the main headlights are discreetly integrated into the “black panel.” Above these are the slim daytime running lights — a distinctive feature even from a distance. The A-pillar flows seamlessly into a sweeping roof arch, creating an airy sense of space. Toward the rear, the roofline slopes gently at first before ending in a precisely defined spoiler. This ensures aerodynamically optimal flow separation.
At the rear, horizontal LED lights emphasize the vehicle’s width and create a striking effect in the dark with their illuminated elements.
