Reports last year said that Audi is considering a
long-wheelbase version of the Audi Q2. Now, biauto.com has revealed through
images of the Audi product planning presentation that the Audi Q2 L is not just
media speculation, and it launches in China in 2018.
Based on the Volkswagen Group’s MQB platform, the
Audi Q2 is the company’s new entry-level SUV. The standard Audi Q2 measures
4,191 mm in length, 1,794 mm in width and 1,508 mm in height, and has a
wheelbase of 2,601 mm. It is unknown up to what extent Audi plans to stretch
the Q2. Currently, all the Audi SUVs in China are available only in standard
wheelbase version. Considering existing Audi model dimensions, the Q2 L
wheelbase should not exceed 2,701 mm.
The Q2 is available with three petrol and three
diesel engines in Germany. 116 PS 1.0-litre TFSI, 150 PS 1.4-litre TFSI and 190
PS 2.0-litre TFSI are the petrol engine options. 116 PS 1.6-litre TDI, 150 PS
2.0-litre TDI and 190 PS 2.0-litre TDI are the diesel engine options. 6-speed
manual and 7-speed S-Tronic automatic are the transmission choices. The Quattro
all-wheel drive system is available in the 2.0-litre engine models.
Configurations planned for China will be petrol-only.
