Audi launches the all‑new A2 e‑tron in the UK today, reimagining the spirit of the original, famously efficient A2 for a new electric generation — and setting a fresh benchmark as the most efficient electric Audi to date.The new Audi A2 e-tron range is priced from £32,200 (OTR) and is due to reach its first UK customers in early 2027. Versions with the 52 kWh and 61 kWh batteries also qualify for the Government’s £1,500 Electric Car Grant.
Compact exterior dimensions with short overhangs ensure the new A2 e-tron feels very much at home in urban environments, but its horizons are far broader. With spacious and typically well-appointed accommodation extending over a generous 2.77-metre wheelbase, and a choice of efficiency-optimised electric powertrains, it is equally comfortable tackling extra-urban journeys of up to 397 miles between charges.
Batteries in three different sizes – 52 kWh, 61 kWh and 84 kWh – provide impressive staying power in the new Audi A2 e-tron, and each is combined with one of two permanent-magnet synchronous motors, depending on the version. In combination with a single-speed automatic transmission, these offer a choice of four power outputs – 170PS, 190PS, 231PS and 326PS. The various configurations deliver maximum driving ranges of between 261 miles and 397 miles.
A class-leading drag coefficient of just 0.24, achieved not only through the fundamental, aerodynamically optimised design but also through numerous airflow management measures, contributes to the outstanding efficiency, and to excellent cabin refinement. Details such as dual-line door seals, window-edge water deflection channels and acoustic glazing also help to make progress as unruffled as possible, as does the standard comfort suspension. In some versions this is upgraded with adaptive damping for even greater composure.
In the UK four specification levels – Technik, Sport, S line and Edition 1 – will be available at launch, depending on the chosen powertrain. All feature a wealth of Audi comfort and technology hallmarks familiar from the classes above to accentuate the premium feel, particularly in the cabin with its distinctive wraparound fabric ‘Softwrap’, high-quality materials and clever storage solutions.
The lead-in Technik specification establishes impressive foundations, starting externally with 18-inch alloy wheels and front and rear LED lighting. Inside, technology highlights include the MMI panoramic display with its 12.8-inch curved MMI touch display and 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit, the Audi smartphone interface incorporating the Audi App Store, the AI-supported Audi assistant and Audi Phonebox wireless smartphone fast-charging. These are complemented by detail enhancements such as front seat and steering wheel heating and an ambient lighting package.
