New A2 electric SUV has the the same screen and squircle steering wheel as the latest Q3
Audi ’s upcoming A2 e-tron has been snapped inside and out. The BMW iX1-sized SUV has a widescreen digital dashboard. MEB platform from Q4 e-tron could give 350+ miles of range. We’ve seen the outside of the upcoming Audi A2 e-tron plenty of times, but now we finally get a peek inside.
And surprise, it looks like Audi raided the new Q3 parts bin for its smallest EV, a car that’s retro in name, but definitely not in nature. The spy shot reveals a clean, tech-forward cabin that mirrors the latest Audi Q3 revealed last September. There’s the familiar curved digital driver display flowing neatly into a central MMI touchscreen, plus Audi’s chunky, squared-off steering wheel with multi-function controls. More: Audi’s Updated Q4 Is Coming With Changes You Won’t See At First Even the controversial new-style column stalks look lifted straight from the Q3, having initially made their debut on the A5 sedan and wagon. If anything, it confirms Audi isn’t treating this as a bargain basement EV. The A2 e-tron might be the baby of the lineup, but inside it still looks properly premium. Expect configurable ambient lighting, sustainable trim options, and Audi’s latest AI-based voice assistant with app integration and streaming services. Level 2 driver assistance tech should also be on the menu. Older platform SHProshots Underneath, it rides on Volkswagen Group’s familiar 400-volt MEB platform used on countless VW Group models like the VW ID.3 and ID.4 and Audi’s own Q4 e-tron. Single-motor MEB cars are rear-wheel drive, but dual-motor quattro variants will also be available, and yes, whispers of an A2 RS version are already doing the rounds. The base version is tipped to pack a single front-mounted motor producing 201 hp , fed by a 63 kWh battery delivering around 250 miles of range. Step up the ladder and single-motor outputs could climb past 268 hp , with a larger battery offering up to 348 miles on the WLTP cycle, and maybe more. Modern Classic The A2 name, as you probably know, is a throwback. The original Audi A2 was an aluminium spaceframe oddball that ran from 1999 to 2005 and never really sold in huge numbers, but later gained cult status. Audi skipped the obvious Q2 badge choice this time, reviving A2 instead, reports say, betting on nostalgia with a modern e-tron twist. Design-wise, the exterior looks noticeably different from the bigger Q4 e-tron, as seen in our recent artist impression. There’s a nod to the original A2 with its upright stance and that split-style rear glass effect, but it’s sharper, wider and more assertive. Slim daytime running lights sit high, the main lamps are lower in the bumper, and the closed-off grille gives it a confident EV face. The A2 will effectively replace both the gas-powered A1 hatch and Q2 SUV in Europe, and slot beneath the Q4 e-tron. Key rivals include the Volvo EX30, BMW iX1, Smart #1, Alfa Romeo Junior, and Mini Aceman, so prices should start south of €35,000 when sales start next year. SHProshots
