The Audi Q2 looks funky and different, but underneath the bold styling is a rather underwhelming product that fails to deliver much beyond aesthetics. Positioned as Audi's entry-level crossover, the Q2 aims to attract a younger, more lifestyle-oriented buyer with its chunky and aggressive design. However, the reality is that it's simply a dressed-up Audi A3 that doesn't offer the space, practicality, or capabilities you'd expect from a crossover.

Let's Talk Design
Without a doubt, the Q2's strongest selling point is its distinctive exterior styling. From the massive octagonal grille to the squared-off fenders and contrasting C-pillar blades, the Q2 certainly stands out in Audi's relatively conservative lineup. A range of vibrant color options further enhances the crossover's trendy appeal, while buyers can opt for extras like graphics packages to make their Q2 even more of a head-turner.

Space And Practicality Falls Short
Inside, however, the Q2 fails to deliver on the promise of crossover versatility. Despite its boxy proportions, interior space is surprisingly cramped – particularly in the rear seats and cargo area. The sloping roofline eats into headroom, and the 14.3 cubic feet of cargo volume is barely more than you'd find in an Audi A3 sedan. Folding the rear seats helps, but the Q2 still fails to match the roominess and utility of most mainstream compact crossovers.

Performance Is Merely Adequate
Performance is another disappointment with the Q2. The range kicks off with an anemic 108-horsepower 1.0-liter three-cylinder that feels wholly inadequate for motivating the crossover's chunky proportions. Even the 148-hp 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine option leaves plenty to be desired in terms of straight-line gusto. All-wheel-drive isn't even on the menu.

Ride Quality Is A Mixed Bag
On the subject of ride and handling, the Q2 provides reasonably composed dynamics aided by its low center of gravity. But stray away from the base wheel options, and ride quality takes a nosedive on the larger alloy wheels. The suspension simply cannot cope with impacts from larger potholes and road imperfections.

The Verdict
At the end of the day, the Audi Q2 feels like an answer to a question nobody really asked. While it certainly stands out from the crowd with its extroverted styling, the Q2 doesn't make a very compelling case for itself as a true crossover – especially when you consider its tight confines and middle-of-the-road performance. Unless you're utterly smitten by the styling and are willing to make sacrifices elsewhere, you're likely better off with a more spacious, practical, and value-oriented option like the Volkswagen Taos or even Audi's own Q3.
