All you need to know about Audi Q2 SUV
Just in case you missed it, here's our first-drive review of Q2:
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 swooping roofline towards the blackened C-pillar whispers of a coupe-ish appeal hitherto unseen in any Q product.
Audi's wide SUV portfolio
Q2 will sit at the entry point of Audi's SUV portfolio in India which is capped by the RS Q8 priced at ₹2.07 crore (ex showroom).
CBU route
Q2 is being brought to India via the completely built unit (CBU) route. Audi India is utilising the government's provision of allowing a total of 2,500 cars to be imported and be sold here without the need for undergoing the process to meet local regulatory requirements as long as the model has certification from the EU or Japan.
It is not just about buying
Audi has already announced an introductory ‘Peace of Mind’ benefit that comes bundled with a 5 year Service Package with 2+3 years Extended Warranty and 2+3 years Road Side Assistance.
Why is the Q2 so important for Audi?
In a press statement last week, Audi India Head Balbir Singh Dhillon had explained the significance of Q2 for the company here. " The Audi Q2 is an extremely important product for India as it opens up a new segment of buyers for the brand," he had said. " It is a Luxury All-Rounder that is big on features and extends the successful Q-family.
