There are plenty of newer and more tech-filled small SUVs out there, but the Q2 still feels like a quality item with good driving dynamics and enough space for the class.

What we like

Step into the Q2’s interior and you can easily see why it’s pricier than many rivals. There’s plenty of high-quality materials, and the infotainment system is easy to use on the move and packed with features. Most models are comfortable and the 35 branded engines and up have plenty of muscle. Tidy handling and strong residual values add to the appeal.

What we don’t like

It’s very easy to spend an awful lot of money on your Q2, especially when you consider there aren’t a lot of individual options available. That means adding a bit of equipment you want requires jumping up a whole trim level or two. There’s no hiding its age, either, with the look of its interior and general technology levels starting to fall way behind the best in this class.
