Just when you thought Audi's ever-expanding range of crossovers was complete, along comes another. The latest in a long line is the tiny Q2, which sits below the Q3, recently updated Q5 and huge seven-seat Q7.
The dinky Q2 actually has very few true rivals, competing for market share with models such as the Mazda CX-3 and Jeep Renegade. There are plenty of sub-premium small crossovers to choose from however, with the like of Nissan's Juke, the Peugeot 2008 and Renault Captur all hoping to catch your eye.
Despite being revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in early 2016, the Q2 didn't go on sale in the UK until later in the summer. But it was worth the wait, with the the Q2 offering a level of style, class and big-car features rivals simply can't compete with. There's a choice of frugal petrol and diesel engines, as well as more powerful units that aim to provide performance in the package, too.
The Q2 interior is spacious enough for four adults to travel comfortably with a decent boot, while the quality is good where you see and touch. It's good to drive, too, with responsive controls and surefooted handling combining with a comfy ride unless you go for the sportiest set-up and biggest wheels.
Our Choice:
Audi Q2 1.4 TFSI Sport
The small SUV market is the fastest growing market across the globe, with cars such as the Nissan Juke, Renault Captur and Peugeot 2008 dominating sales charts. MINI’s Countryman also competes, but Audi’s Q2 is the first challenger from the established premium players.
The Audi Q2 is 200mm shorter than an Audi Q3, but a touch bigger than a Juke or Countryman. It’s based on the MQB platform that supports everything from the TT to the A3, and shares its engines and much of its technology with those cars.
• Best crossovers
From launch, buyers will get a choice of 1.6 and 2.0-litre diesels, as well as a 1.4-litre TFSI petrol. A three-cylinder 1.0 petrol will arrive by the end of 2016, while a more powerful 2.0-litre will appear in 2017. Quattro four-wheel drive is available on all 2.0-litre models and will eventually find its way on to the 1.4-litre car, too.
