Audi A2 e-tron Globally Revealed: 646 km Range and 12.8 kWh/100 km Efficiency

Saudi Arabia: Audi revealed the A2 e-tron in Ingolstadt on 7 September 2026. The brand's new all-Electric entry-level model is said to be the most efficient series-production car Audi has ever built. Orders open on 10 September 2026, deliveries start in December, with German prices from 38,200 euros.

The Two Headline Numbers Are From Different Cars

The 646 km range belongs to the 170 kW version with the 84 kWh NMC battery. The 12.8 kWh/100 km figure belongs to the 140 kW version with the optional efficiency package. The 170 kW version consumes 13.9 kWh/100 km. The 140 kW tops out at 515 km. The longest-range model is also not the most powerful. The 240 kW uses the same 84 kWh battery but reaches 630 km, sixteen fewer than the 170 kW.

The Full Lineup

	125 kW	140 kW	170 kW	240 kW
Torque	350 Nm	350 Nm	350 Nm	545 Nm
Consumption (kWh/100 km)	From 13.7	From 12.8	From 13.9	From 14.2
Maximum range	423 km	515 km	646 km	630 km
0 to 100 km/h	8.8 s	7.9 s	7.0 s	5.7 s
Top speed	160 km/h	160 km/h	160 km/h	200 km/h
Battery (gross)	52 kWh	61 kWh	84 kWh	84 kWh
Max DC charging	100 kW	105 kW	183 kW	183 kW
DC 10 to 80%	24 min	26 min	29 min	29 min

Batteries and Charging

Audi uses two chemistries:

• 52 kWh and 61 kWh: lithium iron phosphate (LFP) in a cell-to-pack design. Audi says it performs well at low charge and in cold weather.
• 84 kWh: nickel manganese cobalt (NMC), modular design, fitted only to the 170 kW and 240 kW.

The 52 kWh LFP is the quickest to 80 percent at 24 minutes, simply because it holds less.

Bidirectional charging is optional. Vehicle-to-Load powers external devices from a trunk socket, but you have to have at least 20 percent charge.

Prices in Germany

Variant	Battery	Price
A2 e-tron 125 kW	52 kWh	38,200 euros
61 kWh variant	61 kWh	41,900 euros
A2 e-tron 170 kW	84 kWh	48,900 euros
A2 e-tron 240 kW	84 kWh	51,200 euros

Efficiency by Design

The A2 e-tron records a 0.24 drag coefficient, the best in Audi's compact range. It comes from:

• A controllable cooling-air intake that stays shut on the highway
• A largely enclosed underbody
• Gap reducers in the wheel-arch trims, narrowing the gap between wheel and housing
• New aero wheels, with the 19-inch setup the most efficient

The doors use fully electric handles rather than mechanical ones. Each door contains its own energy storage unit, so it still opens if the car's electrical system fails.

Interior and Technology

The cabin centres on the Softwrap, a fabric-covered surface running from the dashboard into the rear.

• Fidlock magnetic fastening system as standard, a premium-brand first
• MMI panoramic display standard, pairing an 11.9-inch virtual cockpit plus with a 12.8-inch curved touch display
• Optional 1.6 square metre panoramic glass roof with UV and heat coating
• 396-litre trunk, rising to 1,336 litres folded, plus a 13-litre frunk on the two 84 kWh models
• Qi 2.2 wireless charging for two phones at up to 25 W each
• Three audio systems, topped by a 660 W Sonos setup with 14 speakers

Driver Assistance

• Adaptive Cruise Control – Standard
• Emergency Brake Assist – Standard; front system works at speeds up to approximately 85 km/h
• Swerve Assist – Operates between 30 and 150 km/h
• Attention Assist – Standard
• Parking System Plus – Standard
• Reversing Camera – Standard
• Side Assist with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert – Standard
• Adaptive Cruise Assist Plus – Optional, adds:
  • Lane guidance at speeds up to 210 km/h
  • Automatic braking at red lights
  • Stops the vehicle at the traffic line
  • Automatically pulls away when the light turns green

Screens, Sound and Digital Services

The MMI panoramic display is standard, combining an 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit plus with a 12.8-inch curved MMI touch display. An augmented reality head-up display is optional. Three audio systems are offered:

System	Speakers	Output
Standard	7, including a front centre speaker	Not stated
Audi sound system	8, including subwoofer	220 W
Sonos premium	14, including subwoofer	660 W, 15 amplifier channels

Conclusion 

Overall, the Audi A2 e-tron marks a significant step in Audi’s push toward more efficient and accessible electric mobility. Once it comes to Saudi Arabia, its long-range 84 kWh versions could be particularly appealing for daily commuting between cities. However, Audi has not yet confirmed the A2 e-tron’s Saudi launch or pricing.
