The Audi Q2 has been teased again and this time we at least have something to show you guys. The Q2 is the smallest SUV from Audi yet and is expected to be designed in line with the newly launched Audi Q7.
Audi a few days back teased that its smallest SUV is all set for a launch next month at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The company though did not give any visual idea of its upcoming SUV. The German brand has now given us some clue as to how the Audi Q2 will look in flesh in the second round of teasers. The teaser image shows the car under wraps, only revealing the LED treatment in the headlamps and taillamps. The LED DRLs upfront look similar to that from the Audi RS6 Avant, while at the rear the LED treatment is unique and also points out to a smaller taillamp cluster.
The Audi Q2 is based on the Volkswagen Group’s MQB platform, but will be powered by a new range of 3- and 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engines from the Audi A1. Gearbox options will be a 6-speed manual and a dual clutch automatic too. The car could be offered with the Quattro 4-wheel drive system too. On the insides the Audi Q2 is expected to be on par with the latest generation of Audi with an updated MMI interface and could also benefit from the Virtual Cockpit which is nothing but a high resolution screen that does the same and more as the traditional needles.
The Audi Q2 does not really have any direct competition with rivals being from a segment above from the likes of the BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA and Audi’s own Q3. Imagine the Audi Q2 as a micro Q7 that will be priced to undercut the Audi Q3 and it will immediately makes sense. The company might just make buying an Audi SUV much more affordable with this new product. The wait until the launch of the Audi Q2 has now begun which is expected on the 1st of March, 2016.
