What's the difference?
Audi’s littlest and most affordable SUV, the Q2, has been updated with new looks and tech, but something else has snuck in with it. Or should I say roared in? It’s the SQ2, with a whopping 300 horsepower and a snarling bark.
So, this review has something for everybody. It’s for those who want to know what’s new for the Q2 in this latest update - those thinking of buying a cool-looking little SUV from Audi - and for those who want to wake their neighbours up and frighten their friends.
Ready? Let’s go.
You’re getting flooded with new electric mid-size SUVs from China, I know. But if you’re struggling to recall them all, just remember – this is the good-looking one.
It’s the Deepal S07, the spearhead for the Deepal brand's new presence in Australia, and I reckon it looks damn sharp.
But is there substance to match the style? And can it take on the likes of the Kia EV5, Tesla Model Y and XPeng G6?
Let's find out, shall we?
The Q2 is good value and great to drive โ especially the SQ2. The exterior looks new, but the cabin feels older than the larger Q3, and most other Audi models.
More standard advanced safety tech would make the Q2 even more appealing, as would a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. While weโre at it, a hybrid variant would make enormous sense.ย
So, a great car, but Audi could offer more to make it an even better proposition for buyers.ย
The Deepal S07 has the makings of a great family friendly EV, but with some quirks that really need to be ironed out.
