Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Perky optional plug-in hybrid powertrain,
futuristic appearance,
well-equipped from EX trim up.

Cons
Base powertrain is pretty poky,
buzzy engine sounds under heavy throttle,
not as fuel efficient in our testing as last year's model.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Smooth and quiet ride quality
High fuel economy
Spacious seating and cargo area for a compact car

Cons
Slow acceleration
No option for all-wheel drive
Can get unsettled when driving over bumps or around turns

The Q2 is pleasingly bold on the surface, but plays with a very safe bat beneath it

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

Cons
Not especially fun to drive, few real benefits over an A3

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Huge scope for personalisation
Stylish, high-quality interior
Great range of engines

Cons
Many rivals are cheaper
Limited kit on entry-level model
Large wheels affect ride comfort

By: 
carbuyer.co.uk

Pros
Spacious interior
Impressive safety kit
Good build quality

Cons
High price
Firm ride on larger wheels
Best features are optional

It can rumble with hot hatches, but does Audi's youth-focussed compact SUV warrant its $50K-plus price tag?

Pros
Performance aplenty
Nice road manners...
... and adroit handling
Silky smooth dual-clutch auto

Cons
Asks for Q3 money
Misses key safety tech
Second row not the last word in comfort
