Audi has unveiled its plans for the return of the A2, now in electric format. The new A2 e-tron will hit the market in 2027 as a compact urban vehicle with a range close to 600 kilometers. The brand has published an image of a camouflaged prototype, confirming that the final silhouette will be faithful to what has been seen in tests. The official presentation is expected for autumn 2026, likely at the Paris Motor Show.
Platform, batteries, and the detail of the rear spoiler 🚗
The A2 e-tron will be based on the PPE platform, shared with other models in Audi's electric lineup. It is expected to use an 800-volt battery chemistry, enabling fast charging in reduced times. A striking detail is the spoiler that splits the rear window, an aesthetic nod to the original minivan from the 2000s. This element not only aims to pay homage but also serves an aerodynamic function to reduce drag and optimize consumption.
The spoiler that splits the window, or how to return to the past without losing your way ⚡
Audi has decided that the new A2 e-tron will feature a spoiler that splits the rear window in two. They say it's a nod to the historic model, though some might think it's an excuse to justify the design of a glass that no one asked for. At least it will allow competitors' drivers to say: look, that car has a line on its butt. With 600 km of range, at least you'll be able to quickly escape aesthetic criticism.
