Audi Q2 unveiled at Geneva
The new Audi Q2 has made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2016. The model will sit at the bottom of Audi’s Q range of vehicles.
The Q2 measures 1.51 meters tall and 1.79 meters wide. It has a total length of 4.19 meters and a wheelbase of 2.60 meters. It features a large octogonal single frame grille with squarish headlamps that come with integrated DRLs. The front bumper gets large air intakes. There is a thick C-Pillar along with a roof spoiler. A diffuser finds place in the rear bumper.
On the interior, the Audi Q2 comes with Audi’s virtual cockpit and heads up display. It gets the Audi pre sense feature as standard. The system recognizes critical situations with other vehicles as well as pedestrians crossing in front of the vehicle, and if necessary it can initiate hard braking to a standstill at low speeds. The MMI infotainment system can be operated via a touch pad on the centre console. The Q2 gets 405 litres of boot space that can go to 1,050 litres with the rear seats folded down. The Audi Q2 is available in only a 5 door, 5 seater layout. The Audi Q2 will come with three TFSI petrol and three TDI diesel engines at launch. The petrol engines include a 1.0 three cylinder unit and a 1.4 litre and 2.0 motor respectively. Diesel engines include a 1.6 litre motor and a 2.0 litre unit in two states of tune. Power output for these engines range from 116 horsepower to 190 horsepower. While a six speed manual gearbox is standard, Audi offers the option of a seven speed S tronic dual clutch gearbox for all engines. The top end TDI and the 2.0 TFSI engines get a newly developed dual-clutch transmission, which has a new type of oil supply and reduced friction. These two models also get the quattro all wheel drive system as standard. The front wheel drive models get semi-independent suspension, while the quattro models have a four-link suspension. Progressive steering is standard in all versions. Adaptive dampers and Audi Drive Select are available as options.
