It's a crying shame we won't get the Audi Q2

2016-03-01
one of the best parts about the Geneva Motor Show is that we get to see a bunch of cool metal that we might not end up getting in the United States one of those things is Audi's q2 here packing a total of six different power trains with the plug-in hybrid on the way Audi's q2 weighs less than 2,700 pounds so it doesn't need a whole lot of power to get it moving it's made it to either 6-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox the q2 rides on the same MQB platform that underpins both the Audi TT and the Volkswagen Golf the interior of the q2 is rather tech laid in the fair it's got two separate screens the Q 2 packs Audi's virtual cockpit technology which replaces traditional gauges with a massive screen that you can configure to include entertainment or navigation however to prevent passengers from sticking their head in between your face and the steering wheel there's also a second screen that pops out of the dashboard that features redundant controls with a rotary knob into click box what's interesting about the q2 is that all wheel drive is not standard equipment front-wheel drive is standard however all wheel drive is optional but it is a very front bias system so the rear wheels don't get traction until the front wheels start to slip if you're looking for a crossover built out of space-age material carbon fibers nanofibers all at PS you're not going to find any of this here sadly Audi doesn't think it can make a business case for the q2 in the States that's too bad because it aligns with the markets need for smaller crossovers and it's loaded with the tech that buyers are most interested in it be nearly perfect for folks looking to dip their toes in the pool of luxury
