Australian pricing and specification details for the 2021 Audi SQ2 have been confirmed, ahead of the sporty compact SUV's local arrival in May. Despite being on sale in Europe for two years, May 2021 will mark the first time Audi's smallest S model has graced Australian showrooms, with the SQ2 to lob locally as part of the facelifted Q2 'light' SUV range – priced from $64,400 before on-road costs.

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos has officially launched for the US market, however the compact SUV is unlikely to be offered in Australia anytime soon.

Power is derived from a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 117kW and 249Nm.
