BMW X2

Current Model

The BMW X2 is designed to appeal to style-conscious customers who want a sporty SUV but don't mind sacrificing interior space. Like the similar X1, the lower, shorter X2 delivers a driving experience that is more like a sports car's than an SUV's.

Its gutsy 228-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine is mated to a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. The ride is a bit stiff, but handling is sharp and engaging, making the X2 enjoyable to drive. The cabin is well-made but a bit austere, with comfortable front seats and logical controls. Outward visibility and rear-seat room are hurt by the sleek styling. Standard safety features include FCW and AEB with pedestrian detection. Like with the X1, BSW is not available.
