Audi's upcoming electric hatchback, the A2, has been caught testing on the Nürburgring. The new A2 is expected to debut in Europe next fall, marking the return of a familiar model with a focus on electric power. The A2 will be an all-electric hatchback, and prototypes are currently undergoing testing.
The Nürburgring is an ideal location for Audi to push the car to its limits and fine-tune its performance. Although the prototype is heavily camouflaged, it's clear that the new A2 takes design inspiration from the original. The first-generation A2, which debuted in 1999, was known for its aerodynamic shape, achieving a drag coefficient of just 0.28.

Expect smooth, rounded styling, a split rear window, and an integrated rear spoiler to return. Underneath, the A2 will ride on the latest evolution of the Volkswagen Group's MEB electric platform, with powertrain options likely ranging from around 170 horsepower to as much as 326 horsepower. Maximum driving range could exceed 373 miles.
Previous spy photos have given us an early look inside the cabin, which appears to borrow heavily from Audi's latest models. The dashboard features a curved display that combines the digital instrument cluster and infotainment touchscreen into a single panel. Audi is expected to unveil the 2026 A2 this fall, with sales beginning in early 2027. Pricing is expected to start at around $38,000. Unfortunately, it's not coming to the US.
