Audi Unveils A2 e-tron as Most Energy-Efficient Production ModelPreviousNext

Audi has revealed the A2 e-tron, a compact electric hatchback set to be its most energy-efficient production model. Featuring a drag coefficient of 0.24—the lowest among compact Audis—and an optional Efficiency Package, it achieves a WLTP energy consumption of 12.8 kWh/100 km (7.81 km/kWh). The design emphasizes aerodynamics and optimized drivetrain over battery size, with sales expected in Europe between late 2026 and early 2027. The model revives the original A2's focus on efficiency and everyday practicality.
