Audi Q2 caused quite a stir when it was first released in 2017, with its distinctive polygonal design style standing out from a lot of more conservative SUVs in its segment. Sales proved that the design was popular.
Fast forward to 2021 and Audi has just released an updated version with contemporary new design, refined engine selection and improved value.

Audi Q2 Model range
The new Audi Q2 comes in two models:
- Q2 35 TFSI 1.5L Front wheel drive 110kW priced from $42,900 MLP* and
- Q2 45 TFSI 2.0L quattro S line 140kW priced from $49,900 MLP*
The Q2 comes well equipped as standard and has value based option packages
It’s a perfect size for an inner city urban SUV as well as weekend getaway for a couple.
The latest updates add subtle style enhancements and better value to an already excellent vehicle.
My pick would definitely be the 40 TFSI Quattro. Given a choice I would always avail myself of the safety and handling benefits of AWD and the engine is just more responsive!
*Manufacturer List Pricing [MLP] – excludes dealer delivery and government statutory charge and options.
