Audi will also have a small electric car, the future Q2 e-tron begins its development
With Audi license plates and surrounded by several models from the four-ring brand, there is no doubt that this is the first test mule of the future Audi Q2 e-tron. Some interesting spy photos of the smallest electric car from the brand that will arrive in 2027, and that has started its development in a big way.
It is one of the electric cars from the Volkswagen group that we knew was in development, but for which there was no evidence provided by the spy photos. An Audi Q2 e-tron that will join the manufacturer's lineup in 2027, a year later than the vast majority of subcompact electric cars from Volkswagen and other brands in the German group.
The new Audi Q2 e-Tron has already been confirmed, and has also been spotted in its first spy photos. The development is in a very early stage and the same mule that we spotted months ago has been reused. An ID.3 that is not one of the conventional versions of the range, but the top one, a clear indication that Audi has started the house from the roof with the replacement of the still on sale Audi A1 and Q2.
Spy photos Audi Q2 e-tron 2027
It is the only novelty that can be seen in this ID.3 GTX mule, although in the rear view it is possible to see that the front bumper is more prominent than in the mass-produced electric. In addition, a series of rivets in the front corners indicate that the geometry of the front has been modified, keeping the rear and side intact.
For now, Audi is making the first adjustments to the chassis for its more comfortable and luxurious configuration, paving the way in a few months for camouflaged prototypes that we will soon see. Winter tests in northern Sweden are a more than likely scenario for the sighting of this new Audi Q2 e-tron and in which the greater height of the body from the ground, typical of crossovers, should already be seen.
Because Audi's new small electric car will also be a crossover, based on the sophisticated «MEB Entry» platform. The luxury brand is acquiring a technologically advanced base for this new Q2 e-tron, which must be previously announced with a concept car, and in which we will discover details of an interior that will be different from the new models, but equally sophisticated and advanced.
The new Audi Q2 e-tron will be one of the major novelties from the manufacturer for 2027, and it is expected to debut and go on sale that same year, keeping distance from the equivalent electric cars in the group. The electric motor will be the same as that of the sportier ID.3, an «AP550» that will place the top at around 280 hp. The maximum range will rise to 450 kilometers, and the price is estimated to start from 40,000 euros...
