German luxury car maker Audi has revealed the new Audi Q2 at the Geneva International Motor Show. The compact SUV is an urban-type vehicle for everyday driving and recreation, uniting a progressive design with a high level of functionality. Connectivity, infotainment and assistance systems are on level of full-size class. In a side view, the high shoulder line is especially eye-catching as are the concave flanks in the door area. The latter emphasize the wheel housings and thereby the quattro character of the compact SUV. The overhangs are short with a vehicle length of 4.19 metres and a wheelbase of 2.60 metres.
The Q2 is launching with a selection of six different engines. Along with a 1.0-liter 3-cylinder TFSI, two 4-cylinder gasoline engines are being offered with 1.4 and 2.0 liters of displacement. In addition, three 4-cylinder diesel engines are available with 1.6 and 2.0 liters of displacement. Their power output ranges from 116bhp to 190bhp. As an alternative to the 6-speed manual transmission, Audi also offers the S tronic dual-clutch transmission with seven speeds for all engines. Along with the optional Audi virtual cockpit and the head-up display, the driver assistance systems for the Audi Q2 also come from the full-size class – including the Audi pre sense front that is standard. Other systems in the line-up: adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go function, traffic jam assist, the lane-departure warning system Audi side assist, the lane-keeping assistant Audi active lane assist, traffic sign recognition and parking and cross-traffic assist rear.
