Audi has announced the return of the A2 model as an electric vehicle – the A2 e-tron. The full launch of the car will take place this autumn and aims to refresh Audi’s model range and provide access to premium electromobility. The car will be produced in Germany.
“We’ve listened. Our customers want electric mobility that impresses in everyday life. The A2 e-tron is our promise to deliver exactly that – efficient, compact, and confident. We’re making entry into the electric Audi world easier and more relevant than ever. The A2 e-tron is crucial for our brand and also for our German home. With the production of an additional fully electric model family in Ingolstadt, we are securing jobs and delivering electric mobility made in Germany,” said Audi CEO Gernot Döllner.
By the way, the first Audi A2 was produced from 1999 to 2005. This model was distinguished by its lightweight aluminum body, economical fuel consumption, and modern design, but due to its high price, it did not become a commercial success.
However, the A2 left a noticeable mark in Audi’s history as one of the first compact premium cars focused on efficiency. Now the company is returning to this idea in the form of an electric car.
