End of the Q2 as Audi phases out small SUV
Shields Gazette
|September 26, 2025
Popular urban crossover gives way to greener range, writes Julie Marshall
-
The Audi Q2 in this current guise has been around since 2020, but was first launched in 2016 at the Geneva Motor Show.
It's a great little car and very popular. It has lots going for it, which is why it's a shame that it is to be discontinued at the end of this year to make room for a new range of electric models.
Classed as a compact SUV, the Q2 is smart and sleek with sharp styling, a well put together interior and enough onboard kit to satisfy even the most committed technophile.
Audi refers to it as an 'urban crossover SUV' with 'all the benefits of a family SUV, whilst remaining compact but luxurious'.
It is available in three trims: Sport, S line and Black Edition, with a choice of two TFSI petrol engines: the 30 TFSI 1.0-litre petrol engine and the 35 TFSI 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.
