With its flagship, the Audi has the next phase of LED technology, known as the beam width. LED and a packet of microreflectors generate high resolution and non-blinding beam. Delicate fibers run under lights on the LED module light very effective at small radius. Intelligent lighting to adjust the lighting for better visibility. The rear fog produced by the laser diodes is considered a ray of light in the fog and projects a red triangle on the road as a warning.

The dynamics of the light passes below the edge of the window to the front to the back of the A2 concept - a band of light that contains a variety of innovative features, dynamic light. Integrated sensors to detect the owner and open the doors for the control action. While driving, the dynamic functions of light as a side marker lamp continually. If the car is on, the light pulses traverse the entire band of light. In addition, a red bar of light forward of the rear lights flows during braking and demonstrates the strength of the brakes in an intuitive way to other users.

The interior also reflects the philosophy behind the concept Audi A2. It is light, clean, open and spacious with intuitive controls.
