Engine displacements, meanwhile, range from 1 to 2-litres. Globally, Audi is offering a selection of six engine options for the Q2_ three TFSI petrol and three TDI engines whose power outputs range from 116bhp to 190bhp. The luggage capacity can be increased to 1,050-litres by folding the rear seat back. Besides seating space for up to five occupants, the Q2’s cabin can handle 405-litres of luggage. Like in most new Audis fitted with this tech, the 12.3-inch screen displays highly detailed, brilliant graphics and offers two display modes_ one focuses on the tachometer and speedometer and the other emphasizes infotainment or navigation data. The MMI infotainment screen is positioned high on the instrument panel whereas Audi’s new virtual cockpit (read: all digital dials) is available as an alternative to the typical analogue dials. Now although the dashboard remains minimalistic at best (like in the A3 sedan), there are lots of brand new detailing that spruce up the overall ambience.
Inside the cabin, the interior design takes up the taut and angular form of the exterior. The rear, meanwhile, features a long roof edge spoiler and a diffuser that has an underbody-protection look. This contrast accentuates the more edgy stance of the vehicle compared to the bigger Q3. The Q2 also has some unique detailing like the roof that descends and merges into the C-pillars with colour offset blades. Upfront, the octagonal single-frame grille and the well detailed bumper design are eye catching and so are the sharply styled LED headlights.
That said, this new model isn’t short of hardy road presence and in fact, looks more striking than some of the existing small crossovers. With a vehicle length of 4.19m, the Q2 is quite compact and promises to be easier to live with around town. Given its entry-level positioning you would expect the Q2 to take the least amount of space out on the road compared to other Audi crossovers, and it does. With this all-new compact crossover, Audi is stepping into a new budget market space altogether where there will eventually be a whole load of carmakers vying for supremacy. It’s an open secret that Audi has always banked heavily on its SUV and crossover range for success and that the brand is looking to do more of the same for the coming years.
