The other thing for tall drivers only - I am 193cm with long legs. Audi no longer does flat bottomed steering wheels so even with seat at lowest position and steering at highest, you may notice upper legs contacting it when shifting from pedal to pedal. Keep that in mind as it might get tiresome. With the Ateca I have a full two inches between my leg and bottom of steering wheel.
Interesting how right hand drive cars clearly have ability of rear armrest so why Audi Australia removed it from Aussie models I will never understand. That was a deal breaker for me as admittedly, I will be doing cross country trips with no more than 3 but I want my rear passenger to be comfortable. That and lack of adaptive dampers where as the 10K cheaper Ateca gets them, made me choose that. The only difference I can see in Audi is badge, and more soft materials inside - like the leg cushion on centre panel to rest on next to the footrest, the leather cushioned armrests on side doors.. it's a nice difference but 10 grand difference? Honestly the Ateca VZx drove better to me, steering felt much more alive whereas T-Roc R and SQ2 felt typically Audi "dead" or "lifeless". You just don't get the feedback you want when enthusiastically driving. Look, it's a lovely car but the final clincher to get the cheaper car was the electric drivers seat (both manually adjustable in Audi) and far better rear legroom. In comfort mode I could drive the Ateca for 1000 miles and it's great. When I am on my own and want to have fun, I put it in Cupra mode. The only other thing the Audi has over it is a slightly better stereo (although the 9 speaker 350w beats system in Cupra is more than adequate, ok it's not 700w but it's not like base VW crap either) and Matrix rather than standard LED headlights. But 10 grand? Seriously? Same engine, -electric seats - adaptive suspension, - rear armrest, -rear climate vents + slightly posher interior overall with better ambient lighting +badge +700w Sonos sound system for 10 grand more. I just couldn't justify it. Still, anyone who doesn't care about those things and doesn't mind a permanent firm ride, the SQ2 is a great SMALL suv.
This is a bizarre one. Engine basically an S3. Interior has nice quality but is Audi’s ‘previous gen’ design language. The design of the ‘next gen’ interior is more modern but the quality has nose dived comparatively. So all in all, a no for me as cabin looks dated, but even if it had Audi’s new modern cabin the quality is down so time to look at other brands

Would you buy the SQ2?
Look like full leather seats not alcantara?
Hey Pierre, the sports seats are trimmed in both leather and Alcantara 👍
@@rivervalegroup those particular ones? not sure about that looking at the footage.

Crazy that anyone would spend the money on this when the cupra formentor exists. Same drive line, better looking, better features, much less money
Would you consider getting a Formentor?
@@rivervalegroup it's arriving in 3 weeks 😉
@@thomasharris7558 Ohh how exciting! What made you go for one?

Nearly £50K err no.
Thanks for watching - are you looking for a new car at the moment?

Prefer the “dated” interior on my SQ2 Vorsprung
Audi have lost the plot. Their pricing is absurd. Pure commercial greed which alienates long term loyal customers.
