Real-world fuel consumption
31,316 Audi Q2 cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Petrol versions average 7.1 l/100 km on the road, against 6.2 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 15% more.
| Fuel | Cars | On the road | WLTP | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 18,776 | 7.1 | 6.2 | +15% |
| Diesel | 12,540 | 6.0 | 5.0 | +20% |
Litres per 100 km: total fuel used divided by total distance driven, from the car's own fuel consumption meter (OBFCM), collected in 2024 by the manufacturers, mostly remotely, and by national authorities. WLTP figures are the type-approval CO₂ values converted to litres. Hybrids, including mild hybrids, do not plug in; plug-in hybrid figures include the distance driven on electricity.

EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the Q2 in 6 alerts. European versions can differ from the North American car.
The side blade located on the C-pillar may partially detach from the bodywork. As a result, this panel could come off while the vehicle is in motion and endanger following traffic, increasing the risk of injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulatio…
Due to a manufacturing error, a weld joint between the brake pedal and the brake-pedal plate could break when the brake pedal is suddenly applied.This can result in complete detachment of the brake-pedal plate, increasing the risk of an accident.
The headrest fitting on the rear seats may be defective. As a result, the support and protection provided by the headrest in the event of an accident could be impaired, increasing the risk of an injury.
The fitting for the headrest may have been incorrectly welded to the backrest. As a consequence, the supportive and protective effect of the headrest may be limited in the event of an accident.
The adhesive attaching the windscreen is not sufficiently secure. In the event of an accident, the protective effect of the passenger airbag could be compromised.
The fatigue strength of the rear axle stub may be insufficient. This could result in failure of the rear axle stub with consequent loss of control of the vehicle.
