DO YOU KNOW about that uncomfortable area between a hatchback and an SUV? Audi has not only found a definition for it but has created a car that fits right there. The Audi Q2 is a car with ambition, like a fledgling born into an illustrious family, who is expected to shoulder the family name but doesn’t have the right tools or the ambition to do so. It is the most affordable Q-series Audi out there and bears the four rings, but also shaves off some of the excesses that Audi is known to spoil its drivers with.

The Audi Q2 found its welcoming gateway into India, thanks to regulations that allowed up to 2,500 units of internationally constructed cars to be rolled onto desi streets. What this means is that the Audi Q2 is built in Europe and to a fair extent, it is built for Europe. This brings with it the unfamiliarity in the way the car responds to the driver and accommodates its space-loving occupants.
