Audi India finally has some good news regarding the launch of the Q2, with bookings now underway at a token amount of Rs 2 lakh. Audi is offering a 5-year comprehensive service package as part of the Q2's introductory offers.

As for the features, it is expected to get Audi's Virtual Cockpit, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ambient lighting, digital instrument display, multi-functional steering wheel, cruise control, and park assist. Onboard safety features include ABS with EBD, front and rear parking sensors, and electronic stability program.

Under the hood, the Q2 will be powered by the 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine.
