Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

A refreshed front end highlights the changes to the 2021 Equinox. The makeover brings more distinctive headlights, a new grille design, and updated front and rear bumpers. Chevy also adds an RS model, which includes sporty styling cues such as dark 19-inch wheels and blacked-out exterior trim. Its interior boasts a unique shift knob, red stitching, and black upholstery. The top-tier Premier also has spiffier cabin details, such as French stitching and gloss-black trim on the console.

Pros
Tons of passenger space,
agile on-road behavior,
generous infotainment features.

Cons
Weak four-cylinder engine,
pricier than most rivals,
largest wheel size reduces ride quality.

A bit phoned-in from Audi. It's fine, but the only USP is that badge.

Pros
Bold styling (for Audi),
should be a doddle to live with.

Cons
Few benefits over an A3,
on big wheels the ride is atrocious.

The Audi Q2 is a desirable and fine-driving small SUV with an impressive interior. It also has one of the best infotainment systems in the class. Yes, there are cheaper alternatives, but Audi's smallest SUV justifies its cost will its superb all-round ability.

Pros
Classy and user-friendly interior
Tidy handling
Slow depreciation

Cons
More expensive than some rivals
Mini Countryman is more practical
Firm ride with 19in alloys
