Smooth ride and quiet cabin
Relatively roomy cargo area

Cons
Doesn't provide much excitement from behind the wheel
Front seat padding is a bit too firm for ideal comfort

A bit phoned-in from Audi. It's fine, but the only USP is that badge.

Pros
Bold styling (for Audi),
should be a doddle to live with.

Cons
Few benefits over an A3,
on big wheels the ride is atrocious.

The Audi Q2 is a desirable and fine-driving small SUV with an impressive interior. It also has one of the best infotainment systems in the class. Yes, there are cheaper alternatives, but Audi's smallest SUV justifies its cost will its superb all-round ability.

Pros
Classy and user-friendly interior
Tidy handling
Slow depreciation

Cons
More expensive than some rivals
Mini Countryman is more practical
Firm ride with 19in alloys

By: 
whatcar.com

Pros
Dependable handling
First-rate packaging
Lower Q-range price point

Anodyne identity
Slightly breathless petrol engine
Higher trim level expense
