It has been sold since November 2016 in markets in Europe. Unlike Audi's other crossovers, the Q2 is not sold in the United States or Canada. A long-wheelbase version called the Q2L is sold in China.

The Q2L e-tron is an all-electric version that has been built and sold in China since November 2019. Powered by a 38 kWh lithium-ion battery of Chinese supplier Contemporary Amperex Technology, the Q2L e-tron has a range of 265 kilometres (165 miles) on one charge and a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph). Its electric motor delivers the maximum power of 100 kW (134 hp) and maximum torque of 290 N⋅m (214 lbf⋅ft).^[3]

In February 2022, Volkswagen AG confirmed that the Audi Q2 will be discontinued after the model completes its current generation life cycle without a successor planned, due to poor sales and plans to shift Audi into selling larger premium crossovers and SUVs.^[4]

Design

The Q2's front face is formed flat and in an upwards slant, like the other models of Audi's Q Series. The interior incorporates a 5.8 inch Audi MMI display and a 12.3 inch virtual cockpit display.

The car also employs an LED ambient lighting system, which projects differently coloured light into the car, depending on the time of day.^[5]
