Auto Express have what I think is the first UK review of the new Audi Q2.

Summary:

Audi only really had to turn up to have a winner with the Q2, but the fact is it's a great small SUV. It has something Audis (and most German cars) have lacked in the past - charm. It's cool, safe, spacious, fun, great to be in and great to be seen in. Our only reservations are over price, especially once you add the most desirable big-car options, and the ride on bigger alloys. Stick with smaller wheels and the standard set-up and spend some cash on a few tasty options for a great small SUV.
4 / 5 Stars

The engine revs smoothly and is quiet when you want it to be, too. The dual-clutch, seven-speed S tronic gearbox makes for a nice partner, reacting quickly and smoothly and it can be given a sportier bent if you select the optional Audi drive select system. That'll also firm up the (also optional) adaptive dampers and tweak the steering to make it more direct.

The Q2 seems perfectly happy to cruise at speed and, although not the most rewarding drive, is quite fun through twistier roads, too. The steering system comes from the hot S3 so feels pretty direct and meaty, while the low driving position helps the car to feel quite sporty from behind the wheel. The multi-adjustable driving position is comfortable and the view out is good.
