I think Audi have been very clever with the Q2, they are certainly looking to attract those buyers who may have looked at Juke’s, Renault Captur, or other of the smaller SUV’s and want to have a quality brand. Of course quality comes at a price and Audi being Audi you need to look very, very carefully at their catalogue of extras. The list price is attractive but it can rapidly increase by thousands, for example the brilliant blue colour scheme is a £700 plus extra, however black or white, is ok, a no cost option. The range varies between £27,000 and a high £36,200, emissions are on the low side and the 1.4-litre TFSi that I had the privilege of testing, had a 0-60 time of 8.5 seconds and a top speed where legal of 132mph. My mileage in a week’s occupancy included a lot of motorway and dual carriageway, so you would expect reasonably good performance and 50.3 mpg was the computers suggested miles per gallon whilst in company with the vehicle and I found that to be exceptionally good for the vehicle and the size and conditions in which it was being used. All in all yet another successful vehicle enters in to the mighty arsenal of Audi products. 35
