Audi Revives A2 as Small EV with 401‑mile WLTP Range
WHY IT MATTERS
The A2 E‑Tron's long range could make small EVs more appealing to drivers who need extended travel without frequent charging, potentially reshaping demand for compact electric vehicles.
What happened
Audi has announced the return of its A2 nameplate, this time as a fully electric vehicle. The new A2 E‑Tron is a compact car that delivers up to 401 miles on a WLTP cycle, a figure that rivals larger EVs.
The model marks Audi’s first small‑size electric offering in more than two decades, following the original A2’s discontinuation. By combining a lightweight chassis with a high‑capacity battery, Audi aims to provide a practical, long‑range option for city and regional drivers.
The company’s announcement signals a new product line that could broaden its electric portfolio and target a segment of buyers who need extended range without the bulk of larger SUVs.
