Audi Philippines brings in the newest Audi Q2 enhanced with the Audi Virtual Cockpit, ambient lighting package, Multi Media Interface (MMI) navigation and cruise control. The refreshed compact crossover is built for everyday urban driving and recreation while offering style and a high level of functionality.
With the youthful and versatile look of the Q2, the compact crossover’s fascia has an eye-catching octagonal Singleframe grille matched with LED daytime running lights and LED headlamps including dynamic turn signals. The sleek roof defines the side view and merges into the C-pillars with the contrast side blades. Looking at its rear, a solid road presence can be seen with the sporty roof spoiler, powerfully arched bumper and rear diffuser.
The vehicle measures 1.51 meters, tall and 1.79 meters wide. The overhangs are short, making the vehicle very agile, with an overall vehicle length of 4.19 meters and a wheelbase of 2.60 meters. It is a fun and easy car to drive and it is equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels in a 15-spoke design which gives an overall progressive design.
A sleek, angular exterior continues through to the interior. The Audi Sport inspired flat-bottomed steering wheel is wrapped with sport contour leather with multi-function buttons and paddle shifts. The five-seat crossover is now equipped with the Audi Virtual Cockpit’s 12.3 inch digital instrument cluster that replaces traditional dials. Infotainment functions and driver information are displayed in brilliant high resolution, with two different layouts possible at the touch of a button. For the full infotainment experience, the 7-inch high resolution colored MMI display is positioned up high on the instrument panel which can be operated by a rotary/push-button control and two buttons on the center tunnel. It is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The Q2 resembles a typical SUV, with high driving position and driving characteristics like an Audi sedan, good visibility and a large luggage compartment with up to 1,050 liters of capacity. One may opt to personalize the feel inside with the unique ambient lighting package which is projected throughout the vehicle.
