The 2019 Audi Q2 is a compact luxury crossover designed for the city. It brings Audi's premium build quality into a smaller, more affordable package. It appeals to young professionals who want the "Four Rings" badge without the bulk of a Q5.

The 1.0L TFSI (3-cylinder) is surprisingly punchy (116 HP) and incredibly frugal (16-18 km/l). The 1.4L TFSI adds more power if you do highway trips. The S-Tronic gearbox is fast and efficient.

The "polygonal" design gives it a unique, edgy look. It is compact, making it a breeze to park in Westlands. Rear space is tight for tall adults, but fine for kids. Ground clearance is 150 mm, so stick to paved roads.

The minimalist interior features the pop-up MMI screen. Build quality is solid Audi standard. Higher trims get the Virtual Cockpit. It feels special inside, despite its size.

It feels planted and secure, with precise steering. Audi Pre-Sense Front is standard, helping avoid low-speed collisions.

The small engines are reliable, but the S-Tronic mechatronics require care. Ensure timely service at a German car specialist in Nairobi.

The Q2 is an affordable entry into the premium world.
