Currently reading: Audi Q2 Edition #1 limited-run model on sale this September

Early version of the new Audi Q2 gets extra standard equipment and special styling details

The Audi Q2 Edition #1 will go on sale in September priced from £31,170, which is £10,940 more than the Q2's soon to arrive entry model.

The top-spec Edition #1 adds extra standard kit and a raft of special design features to Audi’s new compact SUV.

Its exterior is based on that of the top of the range S line, which comes with sports bumpers and a rear diffuser, but the Edition #1 also gets Manhattan grey lower sections, a black ‘blade’ C-pillar, black mirror covers and a quantum grey paint job.

The car also gets a titanium black grille surround and bumper accents, along with standard LED headlights and a set of 19in five-spoke alloy wheels.

Inside, the Edition #1 has standard-fit sports seats, a leather-wrapped sports steering wheel and accompanying leather interior package. There are also aluminium door sills, a titanium grey headlining and an ambient light package.

Like the rest of the range, just two engines are available with the Edition #1 at launch: a 1.4-litre TFSI with 148bhp, a 1.6-litre TDI with 114bhp. As standard, the car comes with a six-speed manual gearbox, but the TFSI petrol engine is also offered with an S tronic automatic.

Audi’s long-lived SUV entry point has proved to be a sales success, but is its age now counting against it?

Back to top

Later on, the rest of the Q2’s engine options will join the Edition #1 line-up, including a 1.0-litre TFSI unit that produces 113bhp and has cylinder-on-demand technology, a 2.0-litre TDI diesel, which produces 148bhp and, from mid-2017, a 187bhp 2.0-litre TFSI petrol.

Order books for the Edition #1 open in September, with the model available for a limited period only.

Black "Blade"

At least the gloss black "Blade" improves the worst aspect of this design IMHO, the clumsy C-pillar treatment. I wonder if you can get it as an option on lesser models?

Black "Blade"

Took a look at the Audi UK configurator; apparently not. Shame, as it transforms the look of the car from dumpy to quite smart. An opportunity for an enterprising aftermarket supplier?

Looks like a jacked up Polo, esp from rear three quarters. Audi's so-called stylists should win 1st place for this year's "can't be bothered to create something original award."
