Audi extends its Q family with a new compact SUV. The 2017 Audi Q2 is an urban-type vehicle designed for everyday driving and recreation, bundling a progressive design with a high level of functionality.
The 2017 model is smaller than the Q3, it features an exterior design that stands out while still being recognizable as an Audi. The car rides on the Volkswagen Group's MQB platform, which is also used with other vehicles including the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf.
The key features of the new 2017 Audi Q2 include a low roof that merges with the C-pillar, which can be optioned with various offset color blades. Up front, its single-frame grille highlights an octagonal design, cube-shaped lower air intakes, and angled headlight clusters. At the rear, the 2017 model has a cubed LED taillights and a black lower diffuser that comes with two exhaust pipes clustered together on one side.
