Audi Q2 - Exclusive Test Drive and Review

Audi has just released the brand new Q2 onto the South African market. It's a bold little car from the brand, and is sure to turn heads with its new-generation styling.
We were afforded a chance to test drive the compact SUV ahead of its debut and produce this video. Take a drive with us as we look at the engines available, the ride quality and comfort, interior build and features, boot space, rear legroom and some of the optional extras you might want to spec on your new Q2.

Please can we get metric measurements. Most of the world is metric.

[@johnbrown9092]

Good review. I have one on order for September!

[@maahadyare]

Browndale Heritage Railway. John Brown may I ask any feedback about the car?

[@saadmarrakchi3555]

Man, is your country a giant hill ?? nice review :)

[@skerminkel9971]

Southern suburbs of Cape Town - up against Table Mountain. Certainly a spectacular piece of the world.

[@saadmarrakchi3555]

Very beautiful landscapes indeed :)

[@zachduke8830]

[@adidasP4]

The back looks like a polo!

[@blessingmogotsi3334]

Need a review on the new one too

[@alveshannaicker5038]

ciro and cars . co za you did a great review and I like the q2 because it's very good looking and sporty 😊

I hope there will be a Quattro model available

[@jh5kl]

there is, with torque vectoring even

[@origin248]

Am I the only one who is bothered by the fact that they used feet to describe height and inches for depth? This is targeted at the South African market last I checked why are we using imperial measurements?

[@skerminkel9971]

+100! Cielo seems to have watched too many mindless sports commentators recently. Suddenly he is 5'9" tall and the boot has 3" of wasted space. How much is that even?

[@phiwanhlengethwa3874]

I was about to point that out myself. We need to have our unit converters handy, apparently.

[@MisnadHaque]

Exactly my dilemma right now: “the car I want, but not the one I need”.. went with a Civic hatch instead

[@kirstenrossouw]

You can download Android Auto apk app from sites like apk mirror and then Android Auto should work?

[@Carscoza]

+Kirsten Rossouw Hi Kirsten, thanks for the comment. We've tried exactly that with multiple cars and it still doesn't seem to work. Apparently it has something to do with Google opening up SA which for some reason hasn't happened yet.

[@kirstenrossouw]

Cars.co.za Dammit was hoping it will work!

[@jh5kl]

i like how everyone pretends that torque vectoring (!), progressive steering, proper adaptive suspension, cylinder on demand (!), head up display, digital dashboard, cornering adaptive full leds, gearbox with coasting capability etc etc, should be free and audi is insane for charging money for it (or that we have to buy every single option). honestly, people sometimes

[@rigardtsmit1816]

I reckon they brought this model out just to justify asking a lot more for the new Q5 that is coming soon. I can buy a demo Q5 2.0 tdi for R660k!!!

[@tonywalls6563]

Ciro what is the big fuss about Audi TFSI VW has TSI they are both petrol engines i hate AUDI my A4 Tiptronic gave so many problems got rid of that car when the VW T - Cross launched in South AFRICA 2019 from September i emmediatel purchased the DSG WOW WHAT A CAR

[@SDav21]

Oi! Let's use centimeters next time please. We don't use those silly measurements.

[@skerminkel9971]

So much this!

[@eddiesorour5562]

[@wolfgangvongoethe2259]

The fact that this car looks like a Polo from the back means I can't buy it 😂

[@atobee2595]

So it's not just about the money, good for you!

[@wolfgangvongoethe2259]

Buisang Ndlozi Enthlek, what are you trying to say?

[@kpcassell419]

please retract your comment about the lack of boot space. you'll find that if you pull up the floor you can lower it to gain more room. cheers 😁

[@Carscoza]

+kevin cassell HI there, the boot area is arranged differently in our market, hence the comment. It's likely to make allowance for the spare.

[@jcstrydom2505]

Nobody comes close to Audi interior

[@jeff1595]

Except for Mercedes range rover rolls royce aston Martin Bently

[@saint5643]

when the guy said prices started at around. R436 000 I'm like Find a 50c coin in the couch😢 #CarsFeesMustFall

[@rljmofokeng]

Im reading this in 2020 and Im wiping my tears with a wothless R500 note

[@youceftoun6300]

the Price is the problem

[@DaniloMunhequete]

I'd buy a bakkie with that money. Cumbersome for everyday driving, but worth my hard earned money

[@popinlawrencepopi8986]

new car

[@nationgrootboom1997]

2017 Subaru XV top spec all wheel drive, greater ground clearance and has larger interior space is R440k. 440K for entry level Audi is a waste of money.

[@jeff1595]

No subaru is over priced shit

[@dicksonfrank5074]

mahr zain

[@suhailcassim7017]

The VW Tiguan is better and cheaper

[@rigardtsmit1816]

And bigger and better equipped!

[@danielteiso5049]

anamo...eroc

[@thabisor1880]

Cross polo much, no?

[@gerharduscronje229]

loemiena v6 4*4 is best

[@tshepomofokeng8596]

that's polo body

[@LiamMusic9618]

Hate the car and the price - would rather drive a q3 or my a3. Just can't get over the back and that horrendous silver fin ... the rims are nice though

[@susansummers8127]

Wha

[@louischan3052]

cars are expensive in south africa, typical of third world countries

[@gizachewdesalegn4683]

[@johanbenade8885]

R660k for that...what a disgusting waste of money.

[@badarmunir1]

Johan Benade True... But you still gonna see these on the road lol

[@kiranm6749]

It looks like someone try to copy audi.. It does not look like signature audi

[@phylliszondi5628]

you can buy a Ford Everest for R458 000.....Audi nerds to stop smoking that stuff

[@thabisor1880]

Phyllis Zondi your point is invalid to Badge snobs

[@anthonytromp6265]

That screen is terrible

[@tonywalls6563]

Why did Audi have the Tiptronic they only went DSG FULLY KNOWING OF GEARBOX PROBLEMS previously i have no confidence in Audi now hope this gives the message to consumers that opt for Audi what a pathetic car

[@anthonytromp6265]

Overpriced Volkswagen.

[@jh5kl]

you re confusing it with a bentley

[@tonywalls6563]

Stick to Volkswagen better car than Audi especially value for money after all VW own Audi and other brand of cars

[@SDav21]

What a stupid price for this thing. If someone buys this I am sorry but they have a few screws loose up there then. My goodness! Audi SA is bloody greedy and the person who buys this is just plain crazy. Why? For what? It doesn't even look that good especially from the rear. It looks more VW than Audi so why buy this then? Just get a Tiguan that looks better and you'll get a better engine for the same price.

[@carlandafischer1071]

😃😃😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😇

[@mertgoktugdedeoglu236]

What an ugly car.

[@anthonytromp6265]
