The sales have certainly grown in numbers for the SUV segment and close to 30 per cent of the overall sales in the Indian automotive industry have come from this segment. Right from Tata Motors, Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki to even Ford, Hyundai have jumped on the SUV bandwagon with new cars or facelifts. From new generation cars to facelifts, to companies entering new segments, however, the push for SUVs is quite evident.

However, it would have been great if the Q2 was offered with a bigger petrol engine, preferably the 1.4-litre TSI that powers the Audi A4.There's just about more than a month to go for the 2018 to end and we've seen a whole bunch of launches this year. The interiors too are loaded with all features that a customer in this segment.

The design will please all and offend none and thus appeals to a wide variety of customers. The Audi Q2 has been designed to be a combination of aggressive as well as contemporary looks. The SUV also comes with multiple optional extras, including a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster for the virtual cockpit and a heads up display. The infotainment system can be controlled through a rotary and push button on the centre console, or through the steering mounted audio controls. An MMI screen is standard across all variants. On the inside, the Audi Q2 takes inspiration from the dashboard of the A3 sedan. Black body cladding running throughout the lower parts of the Q2 enhance the car’s rugged appeal. The taillights get a boxy layout, while the number plate housing has been housed in the middle of the tailgate. The side profile showcases a sloping roof line, a blacked out c-pillar, beefed up wheel arches and chiselled door panels. The single-frame grille features a chrome surround, the lower bumper houses a honeycomb air dam, while the new wedge-shaped headlights assemblies feature LED DRLs.

The Audi Q2 gets some aggressive design cues at the front. This powertrain is capable of generating 190 PS and 320 Nm of peak torque. The SUV will come with Quattro all wheel technology as standard. It will.be mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. In India, the Audi Q2 will be available with a single engine option: a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine. We are thus expecting a starting price of around Rs. As a result, the company will need to price the new Audi Q2 at a slight margin as compared to the Q3, in order to justify the bigger model’s higher price tag. The Q2 is significantly smaller than the Q3 and also gets less powerful engines. Audi has a very narrow gap to place the Q2 SUV in the country, thanks to the bigger Q3 expected to be priced from Rs. The biggest talking point of the Audi Q2 in India will be its price. However, the model being launched in India will be the pre-facelift version. It is worth noting that Audi already has a facelift version of the Q2 on sale in some European markets. The Audi Q2 SUV will be launched in India sometime in the month of October 2020. No diesel engine will be offered with the Q2 in India. Transmission options on offer will include the company’s 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox. In India, the SUV will be offered with the 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine. The UK-spec models of the Audi Q2 SUV come with four engine options – 1.0L TSI petrol, 1.4L TSI CoD petrol, 1.6L TDI diesel and 2.0L TDI Quattro diesel. These design cues include black body cladding, an upright front fascia, a large single frame grille and beefed up wheel arches. However, Audi has added certain design elements on the Q2 to pull off the SUV image. As a result, it looks like a raised hatchback, instead of a proper SUV. It is 4,191mm long, 1,794mm wide and 1,508mm tall, and has a ground clearance of 200 mm. The Audi Q2 is the smallest SUV ever produced by Audi. Booking price for the Audi Q2 is pegged at Rs. Bookings have officially commenced at all authorised Audi dealerships as well as the company’s official website. Upon launch, the Q2 will become the most affordable Audi SUV on sale in India. After a couple of years, the entry-level SUV from Audi will launch in India in the month of October 2020. The Audi Q2 SUV was first unveiled globally in 2017.
