The 2024 Audi Q2, a subcompact luxury crossover SUV from the renowned German automaker Audi, part of the Volkswagen Group, was first introduced to the public on March 1, 2016. Distinct from Audi’s other crossover offerings, the Q2 is notably absent from the United States and Canadian markets. Following a facelift in 2021, Volkswagen AG announced in February 2022 that the Audi Q2 will be phased out at the conclusion of its current generation’s life cycle, ending with the 2023 model year. With no successor in the pipeline, the existing 2024 models on the market now represent the final iteration of the Q2.
Exterior
The Audi Q2’s exterior design has been thoughtfully refined, embracing the polygon motif more prominently, a feature previously seen gracing the front and shoulder line. This design element has now been extended to the rear end, where the bumper boasts an integrated diffuser insert adorned with large five-sided polygons. The front of the Q2 has undergone a transformation as well, with redesigned surfaces below the headlights enhancing its visual appeal.
The Audi Q2 now features standard LED headlights, with an option to upgrade to Matrix LED for enhanced lighting. Two LED options are available for reversing lights, including a dynamic turn signal variant. The Q2’s appeal is enhanced by five new color options: Apple green, Manhattan gray, Navarra blue, arrow gray, and turbo blue, offering more customization and highlighting its contemporary design. This diverse color range reflects Audi’s dedication to providing a variety of choices to meet customer preferences.
2024 Audi Q2 Interior
The Audi Q2 offers a spacious and elegantly designed interior, comfortably accommodating five passengers. It features updated designs for the air vents and gear lever knob or selector lever in S tronic models. Options include the basic interior and the upgraded interior S line, both compatible with three exterior variants. The optional ambient lighting package plus enhances the visual appeal with elegantly backlit trim strips and center console knee pads.
For upholstery, Audi introduces the new Dinamica microfiber material, replacing Alcantara, and organizes options into eight distinct packages. These packages are designed to simplify the selection process for features like climate control, comfort, and infotainment. The Q2 also boasts practical features like optional sport seats, two-zone automatic air conditioning, and a spacious luggage compartment that ranges from 405 liters to 1,050 liters with rear seats down, further complemented by options for a power tailgate and a trailer hitch.
