Audi is reviving a landmark model from its history. The Audi A2 returns more than 20 years after its first appearance. A model that had up to now been unique and that is now offered as an electric version. And good news for customers and Audi sales alike: the electric, premium compact has earned its eligibility for the eco bonus.
The Eco-score That Could Change Everything
The Audi A2 e-tron uses the MEB platform shared with the Volkswagen ID.3 Neo. Yet in Ingolstadt they are betting on a sleeker presentation and a premium positioning to attract buyers, adding extra work on aerodynamics to make it even more efficient.
The new Audi A2 e-tron has just validated the Eco-score, a valuable passport to the purchase incentives in France. This ensures that the Audi A2 e-tron will be eligible for the “Boost Bonus” for individuals, enabling a purchase assistance ranging from €3,535 for the least well-off households, €5,890 for modest households, and €6,145 for more vulnerable households. An additional €345 bonus is provided if the customer does not hold the Boost Bonus.
Obtaining the Eco-score and thus the ecological bonus isn’t really a surprise for the A2 e-tron. The compact electric is produced in Ingolstadt, Audi’s German heartland, which helps ensure a relatively efficient production cycle. Moreover, several versions are offered for under €47,000, the maximum threshold for the aid.
Premium and Affordable?
By taking advantage of the Boost Bonus, the prices of the Audi A2 e-tron are reduced. The Audi A2 e-tron starts at €38,600 with 170 horsepower and a 52 kWh battery for a WLTP range of 423 km (263 miles). By taking advantage of the “Bonus for All,” the price drops to €35,365.
At €42,900, the A2 e-tron moves to 190 horsepower with a 61 kWh battery for a 515 km range (≈320 miles). Its price drops to €39,365 with the least generous bonus.
Finally, at €46,900, a top-tier motorization is eligible for the ecological bonus with 231 horsepower, an 84 kWh battery and a comfortable 646 km WLTP range (≈401 miles). This version is likely to become the best-seller in the lineup, especially since its price is reduced to €43,365.
For business customers, the Audi A2 e-tron also offers advantages. Its Eco-score eligibility notably makes it eligible for a 70% reduction on the taxable company-car benefit, capped at €4,641.60, reducing charges for both the company and the employee. Corporate buyers can also claim a €590 CEE grant. Finally, this eligibility eases its integration into fleets whose car policy imposes strict environmental criteria.
