Arriving as Audi's Entry-Level BEV
Audi revealed at its annual press conference that it will introduce the "A2 e-tron," a compact, entry-level BEV.
The compact electric vehicle market continues to grow, particularly in European metropolises. Audi intends to revive the innovative compact model "A2," with its all-aluminum body, which debuted over 25 years ago as a pioneer of efficiency and urban mobility, as a BEV.
Audi is launching the "A2 e-tron" targeting a broad international customer base that values everyday practicality in urban environments, sustainability, high efficiency, and digital connectivity. Furthermore, it is expected to rejuvenate Audi's electrification portfolio.
Audi also plans to unveil the full-size, top-end model "Audi Q9" in 2026, complementing the introduction of the "Audi A2 e-tron" and enhancing its portfolio.
The "A2 e-tron" will be produced in Ingolstadt, the home of Audi in Germany. Audi CEO Gernot Döllner commented, "The Audi A2 e-tron is an extremely important model for our brand and for our German headquarters. By starting production of this new electric vehicle family in Ingolstadt, we are securing jobs and delivering 'made in Germany' electric vehicles."
The released teaser reveals a silhouette reminiscent of the original A2 for the "A2 e-tron." We eagerly await its world premiere this autumn to discover its appearance, details, and specifications.
