Audi Q2 (2016-2025) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
The interior is a cut above	Cramped rear seats and modest boot space
Most engines are fuel efficient	Firmer ride of S Line models
Quirky styling makes a change from Audi's usual conservatism	It's an expensive used buy

Quick Summary

The Audi Q2 (2016-2025) is Audi's most compact SUV, and successfully taps into the compact crossover market with its premium badge appeal. While its rear seats can be tight and boot space is only average compared to more practical rivals like the BMW X1, it offers sufficient practicality for daily school runs and city driving.

Inside, the Q2 boasts a characteristically high-quality Audi interior with excellent materials and user-friendly MMI dial-controlled infotainment. Driving dynamics are competent and enjoyable, featuring light steering and good composure, though it's not bought for dynamic excellence. Running costs are competitive for its class, with efficient petrol and diesel engines available, and strong demand ensures good residual values. However, it represents an expensive used purchase, and the high-performance SQ2 variant incurs significantly higher running costs.

Best for: Buyers seeking a premium-badged compact SUV with distinctive styling, those who appreciate a high-quality, user-friendly interior, and drivers looking for a competent and enjoyable car for urban life and school runs.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising maximum rear passenger space or boot flexibility (e.g., sliding seats), those on a strict budget as it's an expensive used purchase, or buyers looking for the most dynamic driving experience in the segment (unless opting for the SQ2).


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Audi Q2 if: You want a premium, stylish, and well-built compact SUV with a fantastic interior and good residual values. It's ideal for urban driving and those who value a user-friendly infotainment system.

Consider alternatives if: You need maximum rear passenger and boot space, a more budget-friendly option, or a car with a softer ride (avoid S Line).

Competitive Position: The Audi Q2 (2016-2025) is a strong contender in the premium compact SUV market, standing out with its distinctive styling and a class-leading interior that exudes quality. While it may not offer the outright practicality or budget-friendliness of some rivals, its strong brand appeal, competent driving dynamics, and excellent residual values make it a desirable choice. It positions itself as a premium, stylish option for those who value build quality and design over maximum space or the lowest purchase price.
