Description
The 2023 Audi Q2 S Line 35 TFSI hits the absolute sweet spot in the small luxury crossover market. It gives you the high-riding confidence and prestige of an Audi SUV without the unwieldy size or steep running costs of larger models.
Under the bonnet, the 35 TFSI powertrain features a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering a punchy 150 horsepower. This configuration is vastly superior to smaller engine options, giving you effortless overtaking power while remaining remarkably frugal. Thanks to clever cylinder-deactivation technology that shuts off half the engine when cruising, it maintains excellent fuel efficiency on long highway runs.
Opting for the S Line trim elevates the car's aesthetic significantly. It replaces the standard trim with aggressive sports bumpers, 18-inch alloy wheels, dynamic lighting, and the signature contrasting C-pillar blades. Inside, the cabin receives leather-trimmed sports seats, a perforated leather steering wheel, and brushed aluminum accents that immediately signal a premium experience.
Unlike many modern competitors that force every simple control behind laggy touchscreen menus, this generation of the Q2 retains Audi’s beloved physical switchgear. The tactile rotary dials and clicky buttons mean you can adjust climate controls or settings instantly without taking your eyes off the road. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto handle your navigation and media seamlessly.
At just over four metres long, the Q2 is effortless to park and slice through tight city traffic. Despite the compact footprint, the upright SUV design provides a commanding view of the road and a practical 405-litre boot space, which comfortably beats standard hatchbacks.
If you want a stylish, well-built luxury badge that is entertaining to drive, practical for daily life, and holds its resale value remarkably well, the S Line 35 TFSI is the definitive version of the Q2 to own.
