Audi's A2 E-tron Is the Affordable, Efficient EV the Market Has Been Asking For

For years, the electric vehicle market has had a frustrating gap in it. You could buy something affordable, or you could buy something genuinely efficient, but finding both in the same car felt like trying to win at two different games simultaneously. Audi reckons it has finally threaded that needle with the new A2 E-tron, and from the specs, it has a strong case.

Key Takeaways

  • Audi A2 E-tron targets a starting price below 30,000 euros, competing with the VW ID.3 and Renault Mégane E-Tech
  • Efficiency target is under 13 kWh per 100 km, better than the Tesla Model 3 long-range's WLTP figure of 14.9 kWh per 100 km
  • Expected battery capacity of approximately 55 kWh, targeting 380 to 420 kilometres of realistic range
  • Drag coefficient claimed to be below 0.22 Cd, with heat pump fitted as standard across the range
