SUMMARY

The Audi A2 was conceived as a lightweight compact MPV with utilitarian 5-door body style. The car paired an Audi Aluminum Space Frame (ASF) with the Aoo architecture of the Volkswagen Lupo and SEAT Arosa, creating a high-tech competitor to the Mercedes-Benz A-class. The car was never profitable for Audi, and it was not replaced when its lifecycle came to an end.
