Distinctive exterior design

Distinctive exterior design

The Audi Q2 is a robust, sporty all-around vehicle as its design indicates at first glance: It is sporty, elongated, and powerful at the same time, and its corners and edges give it an even more confident appearance. The Audi designers have now applied the motif of the polygon, which already characterized the front and shoulder line, to the rear end as well.

Audi's pioneering status in light technology is extended to the Audi Q2, which features standard Matrix LED headlights that not only enhance the vehicle's aesthetics but also ensure unparalleled road illumination. The unique character of the Audi Q2 is displayed in the vibrant array of exterior color options, which include Progressive Red, Arrow Gray and Navarra Blue. The flair for individualism is further extended when reviewing additional color options available as part of Audi exclusive, such as Vegas Yellow, Sepang Blue and Merlin Purple.
