Audi SQ2: hot SUV gets a new tech and trim in 2021 facelift

Audi has given its SQ2 ‘hot’ SUV a facelift. The updated version, which will go head-to-head with the likes of the new Cupra Ateca and BMW X2 M35i, is available to order now with prices starting from £38,700. First deliveries are scheduled for early 2021.

Mirroring the standard Q2, the SQ2 now gets new LED headlights. There’s also a redesigned front bumper with broader air intakes, plus a new radiator grille. Changes at the rear include a redesigned diffuser which houses the SUV’s quad-exit exhaust system, plus a fresh pair of LED tail lights.

There’s very little change in the cabin, apart from a few upholstery and trim tweaks. But the principal improvement is the fact the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster — which previously was an option on its predecessor — as standard. This is supplemented by a slightly larger 8.3-inch infotainment system, which is operated via a rotary dial on the centre console.

The updated SQ2 is available in three trim options: the base-model, the SQ2 Black Edition and the flagship SQ2 Vorsprung.
