Audi A2 e-tron starts at £30,700 after grant with up to 397 miles of WLTP range
Audi has opened UK orders for its new A2 e-tron, with prices starting at £30,700 after the Government’s Electric Car Grant and a choice of three battery sizes. The electric model revives the A2 name with a focus on efficiency, while longer-range versions promise up to 397 miles between charges.
First customer deliveries are scheduled for early 2027. The entry price applies to the 170PS Technik model, which costs £32,200 on the road before the £1,500 grant. Audi says both the 52kWh and 61kWh versions qualify for the discount; the 84kWh models do not.
Buyers should distinguish that entry price from the headline range figure. The cheapest A2 e-tron has a maximum quoted range of 261 miles, while the 397-mile figure belongs to the 231PS version with the largest battery, starting at £41,450 in Sport trim.
Audi describes the newcomer as its most efficient electric car yet. Its best quoted consumption figure is up to 4.79 miles per kWh, achieved by the 190PS model, which combines a 61kWh battery with a maximum range of 310 miles.
That version starts at £33,900 before the grant, or £32,400 after it, making the step up from the smallest battery £1,700 when comparing equivalent trims. On Audi’s figures, the extra money buys up to 49 additional miles of range, alongside a modest increase in performance.
The line-up spans four power outputs and four equipment grades: Technik, Sport, S line and Edition 1. Availability depends on the powertrain, with Technik restricted to the two smaller batteries and Edition 1 offered only with the 231PS and 326PS versions.
Battery choice and charging
The entry-level 170PS car produces 125kW and 350Nm, reaching 62mph from rest in 8.8 seconds. Audi quotes consumption of up to 4.50 miles per kWh and a 99mph top speed. Its 52kWh battery supports DC charging at up to 100kW, with a quoted 10–80% charging time of 24 minutes.
Moving to the 190PS version raises power to 140kW, while torque remains at 350Nm. The 0–62mph time falls to 7.9 seconds, with the same 99mph maximum. Its larger 61kWh battery accepts up to 105kW DC and takes a quoted 26 minutes to charge from 10–80%.
The 231PS model combines its 84kWh battery with 170kW of power and 350Nm. It reaches 62mph in seven seconds and retains the 99mph top speed, with quoted consumption of up to 4.41 miles per kWh.
At the top of the range, the 326PS version delivers 240kW and 545Nm, cutting the 0–62mph sprint to 5.7 seconds and increasing maximum speed to 124mph. Its quoted range falls slightly to 386 miles, with consumption of up to 4.33 miles per kWh.
Both 84kWh versions support DC charging at up to 183kW, taking a quoted 29 minutes to replenish the battery from 10–80%. These are manufacturer figures, rather than results from independent road testing.
Bidirectional charging also features in the equipment list. Technik includes vehicle-to-home capability and preparation for vehicle-to-load charging through functions on demand. Sport and higher trims include both functions, together with a UK 230V socket in the boot.
Equipment and UK prices
Standard equipment on Technik includes 18-inch alloy wheels, LED front and rear lights, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Two-zone climate control, front lumbar adjustment and wireless smartphone charging are also included.
The dashboard combines a 12.8-inch curved MMI touchscreen with an 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit. Navigation, smartphone integration, the Audi App Store and an AI-supported Audi assistant feature alongside a seven-speaker sound system.
Driver assistance equipment includes adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring and a reversing camera. Parking sensors, rear cross-traffic assistance, traffic sign recognition and driver attention monitoring are also listed as standard.
Sport costs £34,800 with the 170PS powertrain and £36,500 with 190PS, before the grant. It adds 19-inch wheels, an eight-speaker Audi sound system, electrically folding mirrors and a storage and luggage compartment package. Digital key functionality and additional high-power USB connections are included too.
S line starts at £37,400 for the 170PS car and £39,100 for the 190PS version, again before the £1,500 discount. Its changes include distinctive bumpers, black exterior detailing, privacy glass and black 19-inch Audi Sport wheels.
Inside, S line brings front sports seats trimmed in cloth and microfibre, a steering wheel with flat upper and lower sections, and illuminated front door sill trims. The rear seat backrest can be split 40:20:40, providing greater flexibility when carrying passengers and longer luggage together.
After the grant, the 170PS Sport and S line cost £33,300 and £35,900 respectively. The corresponding 190PS versions are £35,000 and £37,600. This means buyers prioritising range over styling can choose the 310-mile Technik for less than the 261-mile Sport. At the other end of the range, the additional performance of the 326PS S line costs £2,450 more than the equivalent 231PS model with the same 84kWh battery capacity.
For the 231PS model, prices rise from £41,450 in Sport specification to £44,050 for S line and £48,350 for Edition 1. The 326PS version starts at £46,500 in S line trim, with Edition 1 taking the price to £50,880.
The 326PS S line gains progressive steering and suspension with adaptive damper control. Audi drive select allows drivers to adjust the suspension settings through the infotainment system. Those chassis features are also standard on both Edition 1 versions.
Edition 1 adds 20-inch wheels and matrix LED headlights, with four selectable daytime running light signatures. Further additions include electrically adjustable front seats, driver’s seat memory, red-stitched microfibre upholstery and an upgraded ambient lighting package.
Its assistance package includes proactive occupant protection at the front, sides and rear, plus park assist and 3D and 360-degree camera views. Acoustic glazing for the front door windows is also included.
Efficiency shapes the design
Audi says the new car carries forward the original A2’s emphasis on economy. Short overhangs and compact exterior dimensions are combined with a 2.77-metre wheelbase, intended to provide useful cabin space within a car suited to urban driving.
A drag coefficient of 0.24 supports the efficiency claims. Audi also highlights airflow management, dual-line door seals and window-edge water deflection channels as measures contributing to refinement. Comfort suspension is standard where adaptive damping is not fitted.
“The new Audi A2 e-tron is the embodiment of efficiency, not only through its advanced energy management, but across every aspect of its design and development,” said Audi UK director José Miguel Aparicio.
He said that approach extended to aerodynamic performance, interior packaging, production processes and the use of raw materials. The cabin features a wraparound fabric treatment Audi calls “Softwrap”, alongside storage designed to make use of the available interior space.
