Audi Q2
Cannily sized, credible to drive and pleasant to sit in, the Q2 has won plenty of admirers over the years, but its age is starting to count against it.
Most will flock to it for its looks – and it's convenient to grade the car on that basis. If you appreciate Audi’s time and effort with the modelling clay, we have no significant reason to dissuade you as a would-be buyer.
The Q2 is sufficiently practical, comfortable and economical for it to persuasively fill the driveway of anyone already convinced by the desirability of a premium-branded compact SUV.
Conversely, if, for all its implied heftiness, the Q2 appears no more interesting than a hitched-up hatchback, there’s little here to otherwise convince you of its worthiness.
It drives competently but no more convincingly than the better prospects among its rivals and, like most Audis, it doesn’t necessarily translate firm and forthright into greater involvement.
It isn't unreasonably expensive, yet there are bigger, better-equipped and better-value rivals for the price.
That ought to make it a niche product, but given the number one sees on the road, it’s evidently proved to be an enticing combination.
