And it absolutely impresses with an ultra low drag coefficient and a range of battery and drivetrain options that, when configured correctly, can produce a range of up to 401 miles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Unfortunately for us Yanks, this rear-wheel drive compact car is just for the European market for now. But perhaps Audi will eventually see the error of its ways, or Americans will get their heads out of their tailpipes long enough to see the real advantages of a highly efficient, compact EV with an Audi badge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Efficient is often synonymous with aerodynamic, and the A2 E-tron certainly confirms that. Flush door handles, cool air intakes, a fully enclosed underbody, and gap reducers around the wheel arches help reduce the drag coefficient down to 0.24, a first for Audi. Another first is bidirectional charging, which will help support vehicle-t0-load via an outlet in the trunk, or vehicle-to-home with the right compatible DC wall box.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">With the right motor and battery setup, the A2 E-tron consumes just 12.8 kWh per 62 miles (100 km), while the real mile-eater of the lineup manages up to 401 miles (645 km) on the European WLTP cycle. Inside, the A2 E-tron features a standard curved MMI panoramic display that combines an 11.9 inch digital gauge cluster with a 12.8 inch center touch screen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">There\u2019s also plenty of clever storage thanks to a Fidlock magnetic fastening system that allows owners to click things like cupholders and charging cable bags into dedicated points around the cabin and trunk. Cyclists may be familiar with the tech that can keep their water bottles attached to their bike without a cage, but Audi says this is the first time it\u2019s making an appearance in a production car.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">While Audi gave up on its EVs-or-bust pledge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caranddriver.com\/news\/a65115382\/audi-ev-plans-change-gas-engines-live\/\">last year<\/a>, the automaker is leaving the door open for a mix of gas, hybrid, and electrification. The A2 may not be appearing alongside its brethren like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/transportation\/982464\/audi-s6-sportback-etron-sedan-ev-review\">the impressive S6 Sportback E-tron<\/a> at the dealership anytime soon, but nothing is set in stone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/transportation\/991081\/audi-a2-etron-ev-specs-price\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When shopping for an electric vehicle, affordability is becoming a more common trait.
