2017 Audi Q2 Dimensions, Size & Specs

The Audi Q2’s body width is 1794 mm (70.6 inches), but when you include the side mirrors fully opened, the width increases to 2009 mm (79.1 inches). This is important to consider for parking and maneuvering in tight spaces such as narrow city streets or parking garages. The wider mirror span ensures better visibility but requires extra clearance compared to the car's main body width.

The Audi Q2 has a curb weight that ranges from 1225 kg to 1555 kg (2702 to 3429 lbs). Variations in weight depend on the specific engine variant, drivetrain configurations (front-wheel-drive vs Quattro all-wheel-drive), optional equipment, and trim level. Heavier models tend to include larger engines or additional features such as all-wheel-drive systems, which contribute to the increased mass.

The Audi Q2's maximum weight ranges between 1800 kg and 2070 kg (3968 to 4560 lbs), including passengers, cargo, and the vehicle itself. The difference between the maximum weight and curb weight defines the maximum payload the vehicle can carry, which includes occupants and their belongings. This payload range ensures that the Q2 can comfortably accommodate passengers and luggage without compromising vehicle stability or safety.

The Audi Q2 offers a practical luggage space of 355 to 405 liters (12.5 to 14.3 cubic feet) when the rear seats are upright, which suits everyday errands and moderate luggage loads. Folding the rear seats down expands the capacity significantly to between 1000 and 1050 liters (35.3 to 37.1 cubic feet), providing a versatile space for larger items or more substantial cargo, making it quite adaptable for weekend trips or carrying bulky gear.

The Audi Q2 supports a roof load of up to 60 kg (132 lbs). This capacity allows owners to install roof racks or roof boxes and carry additional items such as bicycles, luggage, or sports equipment. It's vital to adhere to this limit to avoid unsafe driving conditions and potential damage to the roof structure.

The Audi Q2 comes with a range of tire and rim sizes including: 205/60 R16, 215/60 R16, 215/55 R17, 215/50 R18, and 235/40 R19 tires. Corresponding rim sizes vary from 6J x 16” up to 8J x 19”. Larger rims with lower-profile tires generally enhance handling and sporty feel but can decrease ride comfort due to stiffer sidewalls, while smaller rims with higher-profile tires improve ride comfort and absorb road imperfections better.

Yes, the Audi Q2 fits comfortably within the dimensions of a standard garage. With a length of 4191 mm (165.0 inches), width of 1794 mm (70.6 inches) excluding mirrors, and height of 1508 mm (59.3 inches), it requires less space than many larger SUVs. Standard residential garages, which typically offer at least 2400 mm (7.9 feet) width and 5200 mm (17 feet) length, accommodate the Q2 easily, though care should be taken to allow space when mirrors are extended (2009 mm or 79.1 inches width).

The Audi Q2 was introduced as a new model in 2016 without a direct predecessor; it filled a new subcompact SUV niche below the Q3 in Audi’s lineup. Compared to larger Audi SUVs like the Q3, the Q2 is shorter (4191 mm vs approximately 4385 mm for early Q3), narrower, and lighter (curb weight starting at 1225 kg vs around 1600 kg for the Q3). Its smaller dimensions enhance urban maneuverability and appeal to buyers seeking a compact premium SUV with Audi styling.

When compared to similar subcompact SUVs like the BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and Volvo XC40, the Audi Q2 is slightly more compact in length and height, with its 4191 mm length generally shorter than the BMW X1’s 4447 mm or the GLA’s 4417 mm. Its luggage capacity of 355-405 liters is competitive, though some rivals offer slightly more rear cargo space. The Q2 balances compact external dimensions with an upscale interior and flexible cargo options, making it practical for urban settings and daily use while offering a premium experience.
