Audi Unveils A2 e-tron
Audi has launched the A2 e-tron, a new compact electric vehicle. The company states it is their most efficient EV to date, with a focus on energy efficiency and affordability.
The A2 e-tron is currently available for the European market, with preorders beginning in September. Its starting price is 32,200.
Range and Efficiency
The A2 e-tron can achieve a range of approximately 400 to 401 miles (646 km) on a single charge, according to the European WLTP testing standard. Its energy consumption is rated at 12.8 kWh per 100 km.
This efficiency is attributed to aerodynamic design elements, including refined exterior surfaces, reduced gaps in the wheels, and electric door handles that blend into the vehicle's profile. These design choices contribute to a drag coefficient of 0.24.
Battery Options and Features
The A2 e-tron offers three battery size options: 52 kWh, 61 kWh, and 84 kWh. The largest battery configuration contributes to the maximum stated range.
The vehicle also introduces features such as bidirectional charging and a Fidlock magnetic fastening system in a production car.
Market Positioning
Positioned in Audi's compact entry-level segment, the A2 e-tron is designed to be both affordable and energy-efficient. It contrasts with higher-end models like the RS e-tron GT Performance.
The A2 e-tron is a rear-wheel-drive compact car and is not expected to be available in North America in the near future.
