Audi Q2

The Audi Q2 35 TFSI is the cheapest offering in its segment, so could it be the ultimate ticket into the luxury market?

Audi’s broad product offering has an answer for every question, but can the long-running Q2 small SUV still cut the mustard in 2022?

The facelifted Q2 continues Audi's product assault across nearly every segment, and with a three-grade range, there's something to suit most tastes and budgets.

Audi Q2 vs Kia Seltos: is premium always better?

Audi is preparing to kill off its two smallest models, as slow sales and lower profits the car maker refocus its efforts on larger, more expensive and less price-sensitive segments.

Drive runs the rule over this year's Swiss show stoppers.

Downsizing from 7-seater (Kia Sorento) now that the kids have their own cars, I wanted a small, comfy SUV that would normally carry one or two occupants, but 4 at a stretch. Yes my knees and back are shot, so climbing down into a car is not fun. After considering Subaru XV and Toyota CHR, I was surprised that a 2-yr old Audi Q2 was the same price as those. Test drives were telling - this car has real speed and the most buttery smooth gearbox imaginable. The XV was just gutless and the CHR has a diabolical back seat - it is a cave. The car is basically a base model with LED lights, bigger nicer alloys and tinted windows added. It has leather all round, a lovely-in-the-hand steering wheel and the Audi infotainment system with the rotary dial. The dials and controls all feel nice to touch and work well. The 7inch screen is not a touch screen, and that takes a little getting used to, but fine within a week or so. Built in Nav is good, but Apple CarPlay Nav also works well. My major gripes are that a car that retails for $40k+ does not have proximity key entry or push button start as standard (first world problems I know but my Kia had this!). The other gripe is storage - the rear boot holds suitcases alright but my standard size golf clubs do not fit without folding down the back seats. Now I never take more than 1 passenger with me to golf, so I can cope, but it is small. The legroom in the back seat is limited if sitting behind a tall front seat occupant although head room is fine, and The seats are comfy. The ride is firm, and you do tend to crash over potholes and bigger speed bumps. I really like the look of my ‘little truck’, and the cut-away slice on the sides is an attention grabber. The fuel economy is great, and I am getting close to 800km a tank with a lot of peak hour city driving included. It does need 95ron though. The car is small and easy to drive and park. The drivers view is good. I like the feel of the luxury cabin, and in the end the drive is fun. Putting your foot down sparks the turbo 1.4L engine into action in a very pleasing way.
