  • Audi announces details for the Q2 Edition #1: what’s so special about it?

    2016 Audi Q2 Edition #1Audi is ready to launch its new compact SUV and show why it is not afraid of experimenting. the Q2 Edition #1 comes in exclusive gray interior finish, black and Manhattan gray exterior details, stylish 19-inch wheels and long list of standard features. Eventual buyers can expect first deliveries in early September this year.

    Q2 Edition #1 is based on the looks of the S lineup and features sporty bumpers and sills, distinctive diffuser and some exclusive additions: black blade on the C-pillar, black exterior mirror housings. And all this is topped with new paint finish, Quantum Gray. Sweet. And depending on the angle of light rays, the dark tone changes character from completely homogeneus to intense mix between light and shadows.

    Also, what is known so far is that Audi Q2 Edition #1 will be available with all engine variants, whatever that means. Imagine having an Audi Q2 with nitrogen drivetrain system that can cook pizza at the same time. It would be nice.

  • Mean, confident and flexible: 2016 Audi Q2 reveals brand’s badass side

    2016 Audi Q2Neat design meets advanced technology: new Audi Q2 will join the powerful Q range and will try to prove itself worthy. How? With a relatively low price tag and all that defines Audi as a manufacturer: superior quality, neat style, tons of technologies and some refreshments. And without further due, let’s see whether this sweetie will deserve its place among its brothers, or will it just stand there and be pretentious about it!

    Exterior styling

    2016 Audi Q2

    This is a muscular-looking SUV with straight lines and sharp edges. The front shows a serious face and depicts the sense of massiveness thanks to the large grille, straight headlamp lines and overall wide shoulders. At the same time the eye-catching low roof contributes to the sporty nature of the vehicle and enhances this aggressive and badass appearance.

    The sides show a pretty straightforward styling: the same straight and sharp lines are present, the large wheels enhance the aggressive styling and the small windows do resemble the mean spirit of the vehicle.

    And the back? Well, we are a bit disappointed. It is not ugly, but does not depict the aggressive Audi character, as we have expected. Generic lines, shapeless backlights and empty space is what we encountered. Our souls were left empty as well . Sad, isn’t it?

    Drivetrain: customization at its best

    Q2 comes with a choice of two four-cylinder power units: a 1.6 TDI with 115hp power output and the Cylinder-on-Demand 1.4 TFSI with 150hp. There are two more engines, a three-cylinder 1.0 TFSI and a four-cylinder 2.0 TDI that will be available later this year.

    Furthermore, buyers can choose from a six-speed manual or the special S Tronic Dual Clutch gearbox with seven speeds. There is also a semi-independent suspension, progressive steering as a standard and adaptive dampers. How cool is that?

    Additional Equipment

    Of course, buyers will be granted with Audi’s virtual cockpit and a sweet heads-up display, along with tons of driver assistance systems. There is Audi Pre-Sense System with Pedestrian Recognition as part of the standard equipment. Also present are the Stop&Go funciton, Traffic Jam Assist, Lane-Departure Warning System, Audi Side Assist and Lane-Keep Assist. Sweet.

    Additional customization and features

    Individual as the driver, Q2 can be tweaked in many ways: there are several equipment packages, numerous exterior colors to choose from, and of course – interior trims, seat upholstery variants and more. By more I mean optional LED lightning package and special 19-inch alloys that can replace the 16-inch standard wheels.

    It looks like this time Audi team decided to rely on direct in-your-face styling and appearance, along with heavily customizable systems and additions. We think this strategy will gain some more popularity for the whole brand. But tell me, what do you think?
