Thank you for those that have pointed out the S3 is Quattro…. I genuinely believed that the S3 was front wheel drive (like the Golf GTi) and then RS3 was Quattro 🤯 mind blown.
I would just describe the SQ2 as a taller and more expensive S3. I guess some would go for the SQ2 cos of more ground clearance than the S3.
Depending on the generation, the 4wd is a front biased Haldex system.
Great vid - keep the content coming Tish 😃
Looking fantastic and also great presentation
Brilliant review. I have owned this car now for one month. It's great. Power on demand but nice and refined too in comfort mode
The quad tailpipes oddly suits the SQ2. Smashing video Tish
I have to say Tish this must be one of the best balanced reviews that I've seen in a while. I have to agree there does seem to be some penny pinching all over the place compared to it's VAG siblings. I great car but I'm not too sure those four rings on the bonnet justify the extra cost option equipment that should in my uneducated view be standard. No rear armrest at this price does seem a tad odd. Keep up the great work.
Good review as ever Tish, and nearly a Basic Instinct moment at 3.51 :-) :-) Black exhaust do look good and would be my preference. The Audi's interiors x x
Nice presentation 👏
As always tish yet another great video
Any chance you could review an a35 amg as I'm looking forward to getting one soon and would like to hear your thoughts
Many Thanks, Peace From London. 🙏🙏
Great review as always tish. For me I prefer a fast estate, too many suvs around
Nice car Tish. I would go for the Q2, or A1 but the 35TFSI version
As a former S3 owner, you've got to have chrome exhausts on the back - and you have to keep those loudspeakers polished regularly too!!
Great video as always, Tish! I get the point of the SQ2, but I much prefer the previous generation S3 compared to this. I actually much prefer the old MMI system over the new touchscreen system, as it’s easier to use while driving. I hate how the Soundaktor speaker sounds like an I5, but it adds some character. Manual seats are an issue - I spent $63k on a Defender that doesn’t even have power seats. Ridiculous.
For the price, no heated seats? No USB ports or arm rest in the back? "Lacking in equipment" -- true! But really blazing fast.
Excellent review. (FYI, the "OG" in the US would be the Q3. We do not get the Q2. )
Still loving that accent: "a classic late Novembah day."
Vidéo bien expliquer et le cadrage parfait ! Efficace et jolie !!
Amazing
*outshone. xD Good review as ever.
Have a lovely Christmas 🎄 🥰
I had a great one thanks! Hope you did too?
Great review.
I'd rather pick an estate over an SUV. A Golf R or Octavia VRS would have you sitting lower and have more room
I would do the same. I think estates are more useful than crossovers.
Check out the plug in rav4 over 300 hp 0 to 60 time 5 .5 and AWD and you can include massage and air cool 😎 front drivers seat and over 100mpg and a proper off roader
Not something I’ve looked at but I’ll have to check it out!
Being a absolute lover of apple car play no touch screen is actually a big issue in this day in age, although a beautiful car I think the VW T-Roc is a better option for me
Great video Tish....I have said it before but you must have been deadly in sales.......As the old saying goes you could sell sand to the Arabs or at at least a Rolls Royce or two.!!
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. Not the most exciting small SUV as there as much better rivals
I'll buy an SQ2
You’ll pay a premium for an suv over the hatch variant and with the older A3 interior in this it’s just not worth the money compared to the new S3. I had a Q2 edition 1 1.4 in 2017. I now have a bmw M135i and I’m paying less per month for that than I did for the Q2
3:23 has to be chrome tail pipes 😁
I love your videos God bless you always 💖 if you don't mind I have a question ⁉️ the reason I am asking you because you are expert in this field and I am going to buying my first car of the life please tell me in very rare cases some people are saying there car is burn down due to fire 🔥 why would this happened and how we can avoid this please tell me God bless you always and God take care of yourself 💕
I got one, can't get through android auto to work.. how ? Any one willing to help?
That’s a pain in the bum. Maybe try on Facebook car groups? I’ve always found them to be really helpful!
OG performance SUV is the Mercedes ML55 AMG and then the Cayenne Turbo and then the X5M
This just looks like an A3 with a slightly raised ride height (not a criticism just an observation). But I don't get the hatred crossovers receive, if you want something that's a little easier to get in and out of, then why not?
The only gripe I'd have with this thing is the engine, and it's a deal-breaker I'm afraid. 300 ponies from a 2.0 4 cylinder engine just screams a lot of strain on a small engine and if you drive it spiritedly, it'll soon start developing problems. No thanks. Been there. I really don't understand this obsession with downsizing engines from the industry as a smaller engine working harder will consume more fuel than a bigger engine working moderately hard for the same performance.
But it's a beautiful car with gorgeous lines and angles everywhere.
Lastly is the adaptive dampers. There has been a lot of effort by the premium German brands to bring the price range down to more affordable levels, but it's all BS. If you want the full fat experience you still have to pay. There's no point in cutting corners.
Good review, thanks!
When Audi axes the A1 in a few years, the cheapest Audi you’ll be able to buy in Europe, Australia, Mexico, etc. will be the Q2.
The A3 will remain the cheapest Audi in the US and A and Canada, since the A1 and Q2 aren’t sold in those two markets.
Isn’t the sq5 a performance suv too?
Yes it is
Damn I didn’t even know that car was a thing we really need these in America 🤦🏻♂️
Yes, although they’re now discontinuing them here too
I love how they couldn’t bother to install push button start, electric or heated seats or a rear arm rest for that amount of money. Would I get this or a Tiguan R? I like the 4 rings, but I don’t like them that much.
This doesn’t compete with the tiguan R. It’s the T-Roc R.
@@johnguidetti5839 Check the prices! An SQ2 that has any options in it will cost about £45k, which is the price of a fully loaded Tiguan R. You can get a fully loaded T-Roc R for less than a base SQ2!
@@afcgeo882 Audi Sq2 from 39,615. T-Roc R from £41,750. Tiguan R from 48,540… As i said the direct sister car to SQ2 is T-Roc R.
The configurator is open to spec. Dunno how a Tiguan R fully loaded is 45 when it starts from 48k base lol. Or a T- Roc R. Just making it up as you go along.
@@johnguidetti5839 The Tiguan R starts at £48,540 and has all the features I’ve listed. You can very easily spec your SQ2 to that price by ticking the “Vorsprung” box and you still don’t get those items. That’s without ordering options.
S3 is awd?
Yes it is.
Hahaha I genuinely not know that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I thought that was the reason for getting RS3!!!! MIND BLOWN 🤯
@@AutoSocialUK Main reason for RS3 is the 5 cylinder! but yea S3 is equivalent of Golf R and I prefer the chrome tips! Was surprised how very similar it is on the interior to my 2014 S3
There is so much wrong information in this video I don’t even know where to start
You forgot the BMW X235i....
Sorry I forgot about it because of how hideous it is 🤪
@@AutoSocialUK still an SUV and bang in-line with the others mentioned, it's a direct competitor to the SQ2 - although, agree neither are "lookers" 😁
Trouble is..... You are so distracting. 😎
Much nicer than cheap fiats. Hello hehe
S3 isn't 4wd? Proves how much u kno
A physical key ?? Wtf.. it’s 2021 for god sake Audi!! Terrible ..
Great. Anti theft right there. Push button is a thieves dream
It looks like a brick horrible
