Audi SQ2 - a little temptation goes a long way
Ŷ CHEEKY: The Audi SQ2 brings a new level of performance to the compact SUV segment. IF the Audi R8 supercar could be called a beast, by the same token, the SQ2 small sports utility vehicle, by the German maker, surely earns the title little devil. The figures speak for themselves. The R8 quattro serves up 449 kW and 560 Nm, launching the car from rest to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, the SQ2 quattro 221 kW and 400 Nm, a tad over a second slower. Unremarkably, cost is $395,000 (R8) against $64,400 (SQ2), plus onroads, but who’s counting? With a worldwide shift to SUVs, after some years on sale in Europe, Audi has taken the opportunity to launch a refreshed version of the
By DEREK OGDEN performance compact in Australia. Outside of the R8, Audis with an ‘S’ in the model designation are generally accepted to have something special and the SQ2 is no exception, as the figures above illustrate. It’s all down to a 2.0-litre TFSI engine, mated with a seven-speed S tronic dualclutch transmission and Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive, plus sport suspension and progressive steering to ensure performance is up to sporting scratch for a compact SUV. STYLING Up front the SQ2 es-
chews modern-day sports utility vehicle matt black radiator grille for a highly decorative pattern of shiny metallic swirls and straight lines, flanked by Matrix LED headlamps, dynamic indicators and large geometric air intakes. Nothing can compare with the bling of the front, except maybe the red brake calipers lurking behind five double-spoke V-style 19-inch alloy wheels and double twin chrome-tipped exhaust tips poking from under the rear bumper. DRIVING At the heart of the SQ2 performance is the 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder motor, capable of deliver-
ing peak power of 221 kW at 5300 rpm, with 400 Nm of torque on tap between 2000 and 5200 revs. Over a longish-term with the test vehicle taking on conditions ranging from shuffling through heavy city traffic to motorway cruising and lung-busting acceleration on country twists and turns, the engine coped well, growling only when pushed. Long-term fuel consumption worked out at around 10 litres per 100 kilometres compared with makers’ combined claim of 7.7 litres per 100 kilometres. Audi Drive Select gave the driver a chance to match the car with his moods at the
flick of a switch on the dashboard and its connection to a centre-console knob. Needless to say, Efficient mode dumbed down acceleration, while softening the ride to almost soporific standards. Comfort and Automatic dialled up power, plus stiffer ride and handling, while Dynamic sharpened the lot enough for a teeth-rattling ride on even slightly irregular road surfaces. Individual mode defied deeper investigation due to lack of time with the car and the absence of a track with a clear run. Absence of a head-up display was noted. Leg room in the rear could be cramped with a tall
driver in front. The boxy exterior makes for ample head room in the cabin. Boot space is on the slim side (355 litres, with the floor at its lowest) but there’s added convenience loading and unloading with a power tailgate, whose opening can be programmed for height to prevent tall owners bumping themselves. SUMMARY Which motoring enthusiast would not be tempted by Audi’s devilish little compact SQ2? The 60K-plus price tag may be a stumbling block for some, but you do get a lot of kit for the price. These days a threeyear warranty seems a bit stingy.

2021 Hyundai i30 N By EWAN KENNEDY THE 2021 Hyundai i30 N has an upgraded engine, suspension and brakes, as well as additional Hyundai SmartSense safety technology and a new multimedia system. It has reworked suspension geometry and tuned for Australia electronically controlled suspension. Larger front brakes have extra cooling air thanks to new lower control arm guides. Interestingly it has Hyundai’s first factory developed forged 19-inch light-alloy wheels. These have trimmed a combined 14.4kg from unsprung weight to enhance ride and handling. Inside are leather and Alcantara-trimmed fixed-head-
rest seats. There’s a new 10.25-inch screen for the satellite navigation multimedia system. The i30 N’s 2.0-litre engine has a new turbocharger and intercooler set-up now produces 206kW and 392Nm, with increases of 4kW and 39Nm respectively. It maintains maximum torque between 2100 and 4700rpm It has a maximum speed of 250km/h and can go from rest to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds with the automatic transmission and 5.9 seconds in the manual. Isn’t it fascinating that automatics are quicker than manuals these days? That’s due to the very fast changes offered by the computer trimming torque momentary during the
shifts. Drivers can choose to engage manual mode and shift gears themselves by using the paddle shifters on the steering wheel or using the gear selector. “The original Hyundai N hot hatch ushered in a new era of high-performance Hyundai models and went on to win the hearts of driving enthusiasts - an instant icon,” Hyundai Motor Company Australia chief executive officer, Jun Heo said. “Now, the new 2021 i30 N, featuring the eagerly anticipated eight-speed N DCT, builds on the appeal and capabilities of its predecessor to once again change the affordable high-performance game. It is an even more compelling hot-hatch package,” he said.
