Audi Q2 SUV has been officially launched in India today at a starting price of 34.99 lakh (ex showroom) and with the German luxury car maker targeting a wider set of customer base with its smallest product in the Q family. Q2 will be brought in via the completely built unit (CBU) route and while that means it could get a rather premium price tag, it will still be the most affordable SUV from the company here.

Not your usual menacing SUV this

The design and proportions of the Q2 are a step away from the SUVs in the Audi family with this offering sporting more of a crossover profile, especially on the side.

The rather compact dimensions of the Q2 SUV means that it can be a city prowler unlike any of its elder siblings. (HT Auto/Sabysachi Dasgupta)
