The T-Roc’s SUV-like style is a hallmark, while the Q2 gives the impression of a tall, compact hatchback.While the interior design of the T-Roc is orthodox, the Q2 has a sporty feel that is typical of Audi.

The powertrains of both cars are exactly the same. Both are 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder gasoline turbo engines, and even the engine control with cylinder deactivation and the gear ratios of the dual-clutch transmission are the same for both cars. Both are pure gasoline vehicles, not mild hybrid systems, and both have the same average WLTC mode fuel economy of 15.7km/L.
However, there may be slight differences in ride comfort. The Q2, which comes standard with 17-inch tires and wheels, is likely to feel sporty but a little stiffer. Since the powertrain is the same, a test drive will make the slight differences in chassis settings more apparent.

The reversal phenomenon where Volkswagen is more expensive than Audi
Volkswagen T-Roc
Audi Q2
Since both cars have the same powertrain, the key points to choose are aesthetic preference and price. As mentioned at the beginning, Audi, which is supposed to be the Volkswagen Group’s premium brand, is cheaper, with a difference of about 90,000 yen in the comparison of the cheapest grades. The price reversal trend is also seen in the newly introduced diesel engine + 4WD models of both cars.
There are no major differences in the specs or equipment of these two cars. The difference in the time of release and the fact that the price has not been revised since then make the Audi Q2 a great value. If you like the Q2’s calm interior and exterior design, you may be able to make a very satisfying purchase.
