The Audi A2 (internally designated Typ 8Z)[1] is a lightweight compact MPV-styled supermini car, with a five-door hatchback body style and four or five seats,[1] produced by the German manufacturer Audi from November 1999 (for the 2000 model year) to August 2005.[1] Based on the Audi Al2 concept car first shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1997,[3] the A2 was notable for being constructed from aluminium, which in combination with its efficient engines, made it an extremely economical car on fuel.
Packages available in Germany included 'Advance', 'Style', 'High Tech', and later 'S line'; whereas in the United Kingdom, the A2 was available in various trim levels, including: 'Standard', 'SE' (for 'Special Equipment'), 'Sport', 'Special Edition' (2005 only).
