Audi Q2 (GA) facelift

Subcompact Crossover

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Audi Q2 is a subcompact crossover built on Volkswagen's MQB platform and shares underpinnings with the Audi A3 Mk3, Volkswagen Arteon, and VolksWagen Golf, etc. For the facelift, Audi has revamped the exterior design and refreshed the technology inside.

LED headlights now come as standard, while Matrix LED headlights are available: Seven individual LEDs seated in a shared module produce an intelligently controlled high beam light. Ten light-emitting diodes installed behind rhomboid optical components generate the daytime running light, while seven further LEDs generate the dynamic turn signal light in addition.

Inside, Dinamica microfiber is a new upholstery option that replaces Alcantara. Sport seat, two-zone automatic A/C, auxiliary heating, and electric tailgate are optional.

Reviewer score 61% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

Audi’s Q2 has been one of the more successful players, racking up around 17,000 sales a year since its launch in 2016. Crucially, 50% of buyers are new to the brand, making this an important gateway model. The driving experience remains very familiar, being capable and composed but not getting the blood running hot.

Pros

Punchy engine
Comfortable to drive

Cons

Lacklustre ride

Reviewer score 67% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The Q2 slots in below its Q3 and Q5 stablemates. It uses the same platform as the Audi A3 hatchback. Prices range from £23,300 to £28,845 for Technik through to Black Edition models, while the top-spec SQ2 costs just shy of £40,000.

Pros

Powerful engines
Quattro four-wheel drive

Cons

Fiddly infotainment
Sporty S line models

Reviewer score 76% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

1.0-litre petrol is a willing little thing, nicely tractable at low revs with enough in the mid-range that you won't need to entirely thrash it in overtaking manoeuvres. Audi's S tronic dual-clutch auto is excellent - almost as good as BMW's eight-speed torque converter and miles better than the Volvo XC40's auto. Ride comfort is a plus, though our German test route wasn't particularly challenging on that front. Even the sports suspension fitted to the diesels we tested wasn't super-firm, and the end result is neutral and inoffensive.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Excellent infotainment tech

Cons

Lack of practicality
Not the most fun to drive

Reviewers from carwow have found:

The Audi Q2 makes a good choice if you're looking for a desirable, stylish SUV with a posh cabin that's easy to live with. The Q2's light steering helps you manoeuvre through tight spaces and the fairly soft suspension keeps things comfy over potholes. The standard manual gearbox is a doddle to use, but you'll want to try out the optional automatic.

Pros

Stylish looks
Comfortable to drive
Decent infotainment system

Cons

Not as comfortable as BMW X2
Alternatives are more fun to drive
