Audi put German prices on the A2 e-tron on 7 September. The manufacturer’s Ingolstadt release says order books open on 10 September, with the first cars due at Audi partners in December. The 125 kW model with the 52 kWh battery starts at 38,200 euros. The 61 kWh version is from 41,900 euros. The 170 kW car with the 84 kWh pack is 48,900 euros. The 240 kW range-topper is 51,200 euros. Electrek carried the same euro ladder the same day. Those figures are German list prices. They are not a United Kingdom, UAE, or United States sticker, and there is no A2 slug on this site.
Audi wrote the car for European customers and is building it at Ingolstadt, on the same body shop that already makes the A3. CEO Gernot Döllner called it “more than a new model.” That is the only line we are lifting. Electrek converts 38,200 euros to about 45,000 dollars; we are not treating that as a US MSRP, and Audi has not said the A2 is coming to America.
The efficiency claim that matters is in Audi’s own table, not in a blended headline. Combined consumption of 12.8 kWh per 100 km (WLTP) belongs to the 140 kW car with the optional efficiency package. Maximum range of 646 km (WLTP) belongs to the 170 kW / 84 kWh row. The 140 kW / 61 kWh car is listed at up to 515 km. Electrek paired the 140 kW badge with 646 km / 401 miles; that mix is not in the official grid, so we are not repeating it. The 240 kW / 84 kWh car is 630 km, 5.7 seconds to 100 km/h, and a 200 km/h top speed. The two smaller packs are lithium iron-phosphate; the 84 kWh pack is nickel manganese cobalt and is limited to the 170 kW and 240 kW versions.
Charging times also come from Audi’s table, not from Electrek’s 14-minute 52 kWh figure. Ten to 80 percent is 24 minutes at up to 100 kW on the 52 kWh LFP pack, 26 minutes at up to 105 kW on the 61 kWh pack, and 29 minutes at up to 183 kW on the 84 kWh pack. The FAQ on the same page lists 25 minutes for the 61 kWh battery; we are keeping the spec table’s 26 minutes. Vehicle-to-Load is offered. Vehicle-to-Home is limited to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland with a compatible DC wall box. Drag coefficient is 0.24 — Audi’s best in the compact class. Wheelbase is 2.77 metres. Boot volume is 396 litres, or 1,336 litres with the rear backrests folded. This is a compact hatchback, not a Q4-sized SUV.
GetEVCar’s live Audi battery-electrics sit on the Audi hub. The compact SUV a shopper in all three of our markets can open today is the Q4 e-tron (2025) — 82 kWh, 541 km, 250 kW, 175 kW DC, United Arab Emirates / United States / United Kingdom Available. It is not the A2, it is not 12.8 kWh/100 km, and it is not 646 km WLTP. The newer UK-only Q4 e-tron 45 (2026) is 77 kWh, 563 km, 210 kW, United Kingdom Available. Buyers who want a larger Audi BEV stay on the A6 e-tron (2025) — 100 kWh, 745 km, 280 kW, United Kingdom Available. Dubai service coverage already has a pin at Al Nabooda Audi Showroom Dubai; that is a dealer listing, not evidence that the A2 is homologated for the Emirates.
The A2 is a battery-electric car. It does not belong on the PHEV list. Audi’s live plug-ins for UK readers are the Q5 e-hybrid (2026) — 20.7 kWh, 105 km electric, 220 kW, United Kingdom Available — and the A6 Avant e-hybrid (2026) — 20.7 kWh, 101 km electric, 220 kW, also UK Available. Those cars plug in and still have an engine. The A2 does not.
On the same day as Audi’s price drop, Transport & Environment published a 7 September briefing that the group says is based on European Environment Agency data for cars registered in 2024. T&E’s average for plug-in hybrids is 145 g of CO2 per kilometre on the road against 24 g/km in official tests, from fuel monitors on about 220,000 vehicles. We have not re-run the EEA file. T&E also says ACEA wants the 2027 utility-factor update dropped, with an EU Council debate listed for 12 October and a Parliament vote in November. Those dates are T&E’s calendar, not a Commission notice we have checked. Official WLTP grams on a Q5 e-hybrid page are not a real-world fuel bill.
Elsewhere, BMW priced the i5 Long Wheelbase in India at 79.60 lakh rupees (India Today and 91wheels, 7 September) — 81.6 kWh, 669 km on the MIDC cycle, built in Chennai. That is an Indian launch, not a UAE, US, or UK listing. CarNewsChina reported a new Denza Z9 GT tri-motor EV trim for 9 September; the yuan band in that piece is a trade estimate, not a Denza price list.
What we are not claiming: that the A2 e-tron is on sale in the UK, UAE, or US; that 646 km is a 140 kW figure; that Electrek’s 14-minute 52 kWh charge time is Audi’s number; that 38,200 euros is a dollar MSRP; or that T&E’s 145 g/km is a GetEVCar measurement. UK and UAE order books, if they open, still need their own manufacturer price lists.
