The most affordable Audi Q2 on offer is the 1.4 TFSI front-wheel-drive version, which cuts a fine figure in the small SUV segment.

With pricing from $41,800 - which is $700 more than when the 2017 model launched - the Audi Q2 2018 entry variant remains an intriguing option for city-dwellers. The 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine has 110kW/250Nm, and is shared with the Volkswagen Golf. It has a standard seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and, unlike the two models that sit above it, is front-wheel drive.

Standard kit includes new LED headlights which are far more attractive, not to mention more illuminating, than the existing halogen fitted to 2017 models. Audi's 'MMI' multimedia controller with sat nav and 'Audi Connect' makes use of a 7.0-inch dash-top screen, and the car comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.

There is dual-zone climate control, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, leather seat trim, auto headlights and wipers, and 17-inch alloy wheels with a space-saver spare. A reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors, auto emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are all standard, and it has a five-star ANCAP safety score.

Matt Campbell has been at the forefront of automotive media for more than a decade, working not only on car reviews and news, but also helping manage automotive outputs across print, online, video and audio. After completing his media degree at Macquarie University, Matt was an intern at a major news organisation as part of the motoring team, where he honed his skills in the online automotive reviews and news space. He did such a good job there they put him on full time, and since then he has worked across different automotive media outlets, before starting with CarsGuide in October 2017. At CarsGuide Matt has helped shape the video output of the business, while also playing a key role in management behind the scenes, and helping in-market new car buyers make the right choice by continually evolving CarsGuide's comparison reviews. Driving more than 100 cars a year seemed like a dream to Matt when he first started out, but now it's all just part of the job - a job he loves and plans to stay in for a long time to come. Matt is also an expert in used car values, as he's always on the hunt for a bargain - be it a project beater or a prime example of the breed.
