Audi is introducing the new Q2 on the UK market. Unveiled for the first time during this year Geneva Motor Show, the Q2 is the smallest crossover in Audi range and will be available starting this summer with a starting price of £20,230.

The Q2 is launching in the UK with an initial choice of two four-cylinder engines: the 1.6 TDI with 115PS and the Cylinder-on-Demand 1.4 TFSI with 150PS. A three-cylinder 1.0 TFSI with 115PS and a four-cylinder 2.0 TDI with 150PS will become available later in the year. As an alternative to the six-speed manual transmission, Audi will also offer the S tronic dual clutch transmission with seven speeds for all engines bar the 1.0 TFSI (standard for the 2.0 TDI).
