Introducing the brand new Audi A2 e-tron!

Audi has restored the A2, and it's set to change the Audi A1 and Audi Q2!

The question is: can this brand new Audi measure up to the credibility of the original A2? And does it provide adequate appeal over rivals like the Kia EV3 and Volvo EX30? Let's take a better look, starting with the style …

Similar to the original A2, the brand-new design is reasonably aerodynamic. In advance there's a large, smooth panel that houses all of the security driving features, and there are vents on either side of this to help smooth airflow around the cars and truck. There's also a vent within the front bumper which can close to further help aero. Along the side you'll find door manages comparable to those on a Ferrari Purosangue, as well as more vents around the wheels and aero alloy wheels. Around the back, the resemblances to the old car continue, in addition to large diving taillights, a wise (and thin) Audi badge, combined with a fake diffuser.

On the within, the main feature is the very same stroking digital dial & infotainment screen – the like found in any new Audi in 2026. Generally, products are ok higher up in the cabin, with some cheaper plastics discovered when you reach lower down – although that's to be expected with a cars and truck at this rate point. Storage is ok throughout, and the seats are comfortable, with sports seats and Alcantara product readily available must you want it. The cupholder positioning can be moved, and there are buttons to unlock rather than standard manages.

The new Audi A2 e-tron will be offered with 52, 61 and 84kWh battery loads. The entry-level automobile comes with 170hp & 350Nm, rising all the method to 326hp and 545Nm for the top-of-the-range design. The A2 provides series of 262 through to 401 miles, depending upon which design you pick.

The Audi A2 e-tron starts from ₤ 32,200, rising all the method up to ₤ 45,000 for the top-of-the-range model. This puts it somewhat more affordable than the list price of its crucial rivals, but would you choose it over a Kia EV3 or Volvo EX30? Let us understand in the comments!

    BMW i3 from 2014 was this. Tiny outside, large inside. Made of carbon fibre, so lightweight and strong. Really rapid, and fun to chuck around. Result? Scrapped, and not replaced…

      I don’t think anyone was ready to pay BMW money for a car that looked that weird. pencil thin tires, the doors and windows design :-/
      they repurposed the powertrain in the Cooper SE which makes more sense as a fun to drive a desirable small ev
      BTW the Cooper SE is quicker and handles better despite being heavier. it’s definitely not q family car but the market for small premium family car is quite niche

    Doors with individual batteries, what a time to be alive. Wish this car was quite a bit smaller and maybe I’d consider buying it but I’m tired of everything being a big fat bloated crossover, you’d think companies would learn from the success of the R5!

    4. @DavidKerep-eb9ob Avatar
      @DavidKerep-eb9ob

      ​​@Luckyjo21 Over half of reported faults in older reliability surveys were electrical, including window switches and instrument clusters. The optional panoramic glass roof is notorious for seizing up, and repairs can be extremely costly or nearly impossible. Front wishbones on later models can weaken if corrosion sets in. Furthermore, because the car is made of an aluminium spaceframe, any structural body damage requires specialized (and expensive) aluminium certified repair shops. Sales were a commercial disappointment. It’s a flop. How do you know that it’s better when the new a2 didn’t come on sale yet? Well, I think that it’s better because it doesn’t make sense for them to make it worse. But we’ll see

    4. @ra55575 Avatar
      @ra55575

      @adventpc3we’re already seeing these types of small batteries die in other vag cars. It’ll be an error on the dashboard as its safety related when the battery health is below 50% (so probably 5 years) at which point you’ll have to pay Audi crazy amounts to replace these batteries.

    5. @adventpc3 Avatar
      @adventpc3

      ​@ra55575im assuming they are also difficult to access, proprietary and expensive.
      Plus audi have a reputation for dropping parts support after 10 years.

    3:08 20″ wheels aren’t impressive on this class of car, they are simply emblematic of just how big ‘this class of car’ is now. They need big wheels to make them look any good. Oh, and thank goodness Audi have given people the option of changing the DRL pattern, because everyone needs that.

    1. @John8087 Avatar
      @John8087

      If only they could make it so the lights turn on once the car turns on to improve visibility in fog and rain. Some idiot speed up the other day to prevent me from overtaking then disappeared in a cloud of fog. Except they didn’t actually disappear, they brake checked after I merged in behind them and got trapped in the bull bar sideways out of sight.

    2. @ClayF303 Avatar
      @ClayF303

      For real, if these electric car companies cared about efficiency they’d realize that smaller wheels equals far better range. Even an inch can give you over ten miles a charge! Just imagine what these cars could do with 15″ or 16″s

    3. @SmOgER10 Avatar
      @SmOgER10

      Not really, it’s a significantly smaller car than the Q3. On which R20 wheels are a rare option.

    4. @Buran01 Avatar
      @Buran01

      20″ is absurd due the best sport car ever (F1) did use 17″ rims and Bugatti runs 20″ front 21″ rear and the fastest car ever (U9X) got the record running in 20″. That size is only justified in off road 4×4 vehicles… Tho this A2 weights more than most of the Bugatti, which is impressive…

      @tstret3104 This isn’t redundancy, this is added complexity to milk your wallet out of more money. While you’re too lazy to open a door with a regular handle, your kids on a road trip dies alone out in the woods because the door wouldn’t open when it was extreme cold outside or when a bear or local hillbillies was hunting them.
