With warm hatch performance matched to all-wheel drive surety, the Audi Q2 2.0 TFSI quattro is arguably the sweet spot in the German car maker's compact SUV range.
Pros Quick without being manically so Adroit handling Edgy styling Seamless seven-speed S tronic transmission Excellent off-road dynamics
Cons Plenty of road and wind noise Some cheap elements in the cabin Pretty cramped second row Boot space well short of class leaders
The 2018 Audi Q2 2.0 TFSI Quattro has arrived, and it all makes sense. And there have been a couple of extra little tweaks to the Audi Q2 2018 range. There isn't much major visual differentiation between the newly added 2.0 TFSI Quattro version and the more affordable petrol model aside from this version rolling on 18-inch wheels as opposed to the 17s of the base petrol, and the entry-level model misses out on body-colour mouldings around the wheels, side skirts and bumpers. Both the quattro models look identical to one another.
Pros Decent levels of equipment New petrol AWD model is a peach A fairly charming thing overall
Cons Limited boot space in quattro models Back seat isn't massive Lacks some storage
The Audi Q2 is a small SUV with a smart interior, plenty of optional high-tech touches and a raised driving position, but the rear seats are quite upright and therefore not particularly comfy.
Pros Relaxing to drive Stylish, well-built interior Great high-tech options
Cons Back seats a little too upright Expensive top-spec models Poor rear visibility
Pros Smooth ride quality Plenty of standard tech and safety features for the money Roomy interior and comfortable front seats Long warranty
Cons Sluggish acceleration from the regular 2.5-liter engine Touch-style center stack controls can be distracting to use Hybrid can't match rivals on fuel economy
Pros Stellar interior quality Plenty of room for people and cargo Composed ride and handling Punchy powertrain
Cons So-so mpg ratings for a hybrid SUV Buttons instead of knobs for radio volume and tuning
Pros Standout styling 37 mpg without even trying Luxurious interior Excellent infotainment tech
Cons Touchy touch controls No wireless CarPlay with larger multimedia screen
