Rumors about Audi planning to build a crossover smaller than the Q3 have been flying around for a couple of years now. But even though Audi’s intentions to further expand the Q lineup were no secret, we have yet to see a fourth member to join the 2015 Audi Q3, 2013 Audi Q5, and 2016 Audi Q7 until 2015. That’s about to change next year, when the smallest Audi-badged crossover will be launched at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.
That’s the word from Audi’s Ulrich Hackenberg, who told Indian Autos Blog that the vehicle will make its public debut at the next Swiss auto show. Hackenberg also confirmed that the crossover will wear a Q2 badge. Initial reports said the vehicle will be named Q1 as the rights to the Q2 name were owned by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which used it for a front axle differential in the past. It appears the conflict was settled and Audi will use the Q2 moniker.
Hackenberg’s statement comes just in time for our latest spy shots, which depict a camouflaged prototype of the upcoming Q2. The vehicle was spotted on the Nurburgring track. Not surprisingly, it sports the brand’s new design language seen on the Q7 SUV and 2016 Audi A4 sedan.
