About the Audi SQ2
The Audi SQ2 is the performance flagship of the Q2 range, effectively transplanting the S3's mechanical heart into a compact crossover body. Powered by the ubiquitous EA888 2.0-litre TFSI engine, it delivers 300 PS through a seven-speed S tronic gearbox and quattro all-wheel drive. The chassis sits 20mm lower than the standard Q2, providing sharper handling at the expense of some ride comfort. While it lacks the adaptive damping found in some Volkswagen Group stablemates, its diminutive size and high power output make it one of the most agile and quickest-accelerating vehicles in the subcompact luxury SUV segment.
