The last we heard about development of a second-generation Audi A2 model was that the project was on hold due to the lack of a suitable platform.
Now it’s been reported that a platform has been found and that the car is on track for a debut in early 2015, more than two years later than originally planned.
Like the previous generation, sold in Europe between 1999 and 2005, the new A2 is thought to be a tallish practical hatch that will sit between the A1 and A3 models in Audi’s lineup. It will also feature aluminum in its construction, but this time only for its body and not its platform as well. In this way Audi will be able to keep the car at a reasonable pricetag, solving one of the biggest issues of its expensive predecessor.
