In the frontal offset test, protection of the 6 year and 10 year dummies was good or adequate for all critical body areas. In the side impact test, protection was good and maximum points were scored. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. All of the restraint types for which the Q2 is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

The bonnet provided predominantly good or adequate protection to a pedestrian's head. The bumper scored maximum points in Euro NCAP's tests, with good protection at all test locations. However, the protection provided to the pelvis was more mixed, and ranged from good to poor. The autonomous emergency braking system can detect pedestrians and performed well in Euro NCAP's tests, collision with the target being avoided or mitigated in many of the test scenarios.

The Q2 has a seatbelt reminder system for the front and rear seats. Its standard-fit autonomous emergency braking system showed good performance in tests of its functionality at highway speeds, with complete avoidance of the target in almost all of the test scenarios. The lane assistance system, which was originally standard equipment but is now an option, warns the driver when the car is drifting towards a lane marking and gently steers the car back to its path. The speed limiter is now standard equipment as opposed to an option.

Audi has changed the safety equipment of the Q2. A speed assistance system is now standard and the lane keep assist system has become an option. This changes the scores slightly in Safety Assist but the five star rating is unaffected.

The passenger compartment of the Q2 remained stable in the offset deformable barrier test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger dummies. Audi showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. Protection of the passenger dummy was good for all critical body areas. In both the side barrier test and the more severe side pole impact, maximum points were scored, with good protection of all critical parts of the body. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision and a geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated good whiplash protection there, too. The Q2 has an autonomous emergency braking system that operates at the low speeds, typical of city of driving, at which many whiplash injuries are caused. The system performed well in Euro NCAP's tests, with a collision against a stationary car being avoided at all test speeds.
