The Audi Q2 comes to India as a completely built unit (CBU) and thanks to the government's provision of allowing auto manufacturers to import up to 2,500 units without the need of homologation. While it is part of Audi's 'Q' line-up, the Q2 is more of a crossover. It gets a 2.0-litre turbo charged petrol engine which we have seen on a number of cars from different companies within Volkswagen Group, including Audi, Skoda and Volkswagen itself.
