In photos: Audi reveals small SUV, but we won't see it in Canada
After much teasing including an image of a car covered in a white cloth, Audi revealed the 2017 Q2 - a subcompact crossover smaller than its current Q3 - Tuesday at the Geneva Motor Show. The driver's seat is low, aimed to give the CUV the feel of a sedan, but with the versatility of an SUV. While Audi says it can be used for an off-road adventure, it is likely better suited to city driving. The car comes with a slew of optional technologies - including a WiFi hot spot, heads-up display and semi-autonomous driving features such as adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and it can park itself. The Q2 comes with six powertrain options, an all-wheel drive option and a new seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The Q2 will go on sale in Europe and other markets, but not North America.
