Audi Q2

Richard Fisher, General Manager,

Peugeot Launceston

"The 2019 Audi Q2 30 TFSI SE is the entry point to Audi's SUV lineup, but you'd never guess it from behind the wheel. This compact crossover delivers that unmistakable German precision, wrapped in a bold, youthful design that makes it stand out from the crowd. It's proof that even Audi's so-called "baby SUV" comes with all the hallmarks we've come to expect from the brand: solid engineering, understated style, and a cabin that whispers quiet luxury. Under the bonnet sits a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine producing 116bhp, modest on paper, perhaps, but in practice it's a little gem. Light on its feet and eager to rev, the 30 TFSI engine is characterful and surprisingly capable, especially around town or on a twisty B-road. It's paired with a slick-shifting gearbox and rides with typical Audi composure, managing to feel stable and premium without tipping into harshness. Step inside, and you're reminded why Audi interiors are so revered. Even in SE trim, the quality is outstanding: clean lines, tactile materials, and an intuitive layout all contribute to a cockpit that feels several rungs above many rivals. The Virtual Cockpit may be optional, but even the standard MMI system is crisp and user-friendly. Everything operates with that trademark Teutonic slickness that German car fans adore. The Q2 is the kind of car that makes you nod in quiet appreciation. It's compact but grown-up, efficient yet refined, and carries the four rings with pride. For lovers of German engineering distilled into a practical, stylish urban SUV, the Q2 30 TFSI SE is a compelling reminder that even the smallest Audi still feels every bit an Audi."
