Start with what the Audi Q2 is: a 5-door SUV with Petrol engine, built from 2016 to 2026, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Matthias Fink and Dre Ahn under Marc Lichte.
The background

Where it sits
In the Audi line-up the Audi Q2 has a clear place: it handed the line to the Audi A3 allstreet / Audi A2 e-tron; the factory was Ingolstadt. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Chevrolet Bolt, the Chevrolet Camaro, the Ferrari 488. Its Audi stablemates include the Audi 200 and the Audi 225.
