➡️Audi’s long-dead A2 is officially coming back this fall, and unlike the original 1999 aluminum oddball whose shape it echoes, this one’s aiming squarely at the mainstream crowd, and is fully electric. But despite its sensible mission, Audi’s latest teaser footage hints the compact crossover SUV might know how to have some on-the-limit fun.
The company confirmed the A2 e-tron will debut later this year as a new entry-level EV family built at Audi’s Ingolstadt headquarters in Germany. It’ll effectively replace both the combustion-powered A1 hatchback and Q2 crossover while opening the door to cheaper electric Audis for younger buyers.
Footage shows the camouflaged A2 happily oversteering around snowy Scandinavian test routes, suggesting engineers haven’t forgotten driving enjoyment while chasing efficiency and aerodynamic bragging rights.
That playful balance probably comes down partly to the platform underneath. Unlike Volkswagen Group’s upcoming smaller EVs based on the newer front-wheel-drive MEB architecture, the A2 sticks with the older rear-drive-capable MEB setup already underpinning cars like the VW ID.4 and Audi Q4 e-tron.
That means entry-level models should remain rear-wheel drive, while dual-motor all-wheel-drive versions will likely follow later. It also means the A2 won’t benefit from the faster-charging 800-volt systems arriving elsewhere in the Volkswagen Group empire, since this platform still relies on 400-volt electrical architecture.
