The Audi Q2 goes into 2022 with an unchanged range and equipment list, but a slightly higher price than before.

    The compact SUV range kicks off at $45,200 before on-road costs, and extends to $66,900 before on-roads for the high-performance SQ2 after price hikes across the Audi range.

    Audi gave the Q2 range a nip-and-tuck in 2021. Externally you’ll be able to distinguish the updated model with its revised LED daytime-running light signature and new bumpers.

    The headlights are LED as standard, with new Matrix LED units available as an option.

    The interior received only minor tweaks and retains the outgoing model’s 8.3-inch infotainment screen, controlled solely via a rotary dial.
