Small urban SUVs like the Q2 are increasingly popular amongst buyers. This is the case for the premium brands a swell. Rob Fraser has just spent a week in what he considers one of the best.
Audi launched the Q2 in early 2017 as an urban based SUV and in March this year released the updated version with 19 inch alloy wheels and an even edgier style. Technology has always been a feature and updated connectivity and safety enhance the offer.
I drove the new Q2 40 TSFI Quattro #2 that is priced from mid-$52k plus the usual costs. There are Technik, Comfort and Assistance packages available.
I have liked the Q2 right from launch. It simply feels balanced to drive and has its own personality.
It is as mentioned an urban warrior that is aimed right at the younger, technologically advanced, upwardly mobile buyers that want more than a sedan or coupe. They want that quality and sporty nature but also the versatility and practicality of the SUV body shape.
Audi has nailed the brief. However with the launch of the new Q3 there might be some buyers that want something just a, little larger.
