Why this matters

The Audi A2 was a pioneering lightweight compact car in the early 2000s but failed commercially. Its return as a battery-electric model is part of Audi's broader EV push and the fierce competition in Europe's compact EV segment, where efficiency and range are key battlegrounds. The car's success could matter for Audi's sales and emissions targets.
