There have been many rumours that Audi plansto introduce a Q2 crossover in the near future and the Ingolstadt-based brand has released a few teasers ahead of its predicted reveal at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.

These two images suggest what the vehicle will look like, including a hint of the trademark Audi daytime running lights. The name is confirmed as the Q2 and despite a legal battle with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles over the name, the vehicle is due to be revealed in Geneva in March 2016. The Audi Q2 will utilise the successful MQB platform, which is what the Volkswagen Golf 7, Audi A3 and many other products from the Volkswagen Group are based on.

The range should be quite comprehensive… There will beturbopetrol and turbodiesel motors in the line-up as well as all-wheel drive quattro variants. Rumours are rife that a plug-in hybrid and even a performance version (such as an SQ2) will follow on later in the model's lifespan.

If all goes according to plan, we'll see the Audi Q2 making its South African debut around the middle of 2017.
