Think Audi A2 and you’ll more than likely think of Audi’s attempt to join the MPV market. That’s right, two decades ago, Audi wanted in on the MPV market with the hatchback-styled A2. Unfortunately for the automaker, it was the right car at the wrong time since buyers found the vehicle pricey for what Audi was offering.

Think Audi Q2, and you’ll think of the brand’s mini crossover SUV that slots below the Q3. But just like A2, the Q2 was not long for this world, as Audi decided to ax it after only one generation after it was launched in 2016.

With both the Q2 and A2 consigned to the history books, it looks like Audi is moving away from selling small compact cars. However, our spies managed to spot what could be the spiritual successors of both vehicles. But instead of using internal combustion, the new successor will reportedly get an all-electric powertrain.

Recently photographed by our spies is the upcoming Audi Q2/A2 e-tron, and it looks to be a mix of a hatchback and mini crossover SUV. Set to slot below the slightly bigger Q4 e-tron, the Q2/A2 e-tron combines quirky looks with an electric powertrain that could be capable of traveling between 520 km and 720 km on a full charge.

Design-wise, the Q2/A2 seems to follow Audi’s e-tron design language. The result is a sleek pair of LED daytime running lights, a dynamic front grille, a sloping roofline, muscular wheel arches, a distinct tailgate, and wraparound LED taillights with a center light bar.

Other details and specifications about the Q2/A2 e-tron remain a mystery. However, the upcoming EV from Audi will reportedly be based on the Volkswagen MEB+ platform. This likely means it will have the ability to have a charge rate of up to 150 kW, which should translate to recharging the battery to 80% in just 30 minutes.

With Audi busy testing the Q2/A2 e-tron, it looks like the automaker is not yet giving up in offering a compact vehicle, albeit running on electric power.
