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
In the Q3 Sportback, Audi introduces a racier version of its newest upcoming Q3 small SUV, and it's bound to attract plenty of admirers since it gives up very little in the way of space.
Pros Like a perfectly scaled-down Audi Q8 Great looks inside and out Premium cabin with new levels of detail and trim work Fun to drive (both engines) 45 TFSI feels like a proper hot hatch in the corners Good ride comfort with adaptive dampers Good safety and tech
Cons There's a big gap in performance between the 35–45 TFSI Expect a similar-size gap in prices, too
The Audi Q3 Sportback is a more stylish alternative to your average boxy SUV, although others are more fun to drive and have more room for passengers.
Pros Big boot Stylish looks Plenty of standard equipment
Cons Cramped back seats Alternatives are more fun to drive Automatic gearbox is a bit sluggish
The 2020 Audi Q3 blends practicality, quality, and fun in a chunky but city-friendly package.
Pros Lots of standard tech… Punchy turbo engine Hot hatchback handling Standard all-wheel drive
Cons …But best features cost a lot more Lackluster fuel economy Gets expensive fast
