2024 Model Redesign Year

The X2 is essentially an X1 with a swept-back roofline, giving it some styling pizzazz but also hurting rear and side visibility, as well as reducing cargo room. While we appreciate the X2's gutsy 241-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, decent handling, and fantastic front seats, we don't like the low-speed quirks that accompany the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, the overly firm ride, or the frustrating controls. At least BSW and RCTW are now standard, and fuel economy is commendable at 29 mpg overall. The X2 has a large, dash-dominating infotainment display screen. But the driver has to use the complicated touchscreen to make simple adjustments to the audio and climate functions. The cabin's fit and finish is excellent.

The sportier M35i xDrive comes with a 312-hp version of the 2.0-liter engine.

2024-Present

2024 Model Redesign Year

The returned 2024 X2 is larger than the previous model, adding some rear seat room, a longer wheelbase, and an increase in cargo space. It continues to be the coupe-like version of the X1 SUV, which was redesigned for 2023. The new X2 features a host of new tech upgrades, including a larger, dash-dominating display, as well as fortified voice recognition and driver assistance systems. The entry-level xDrive28i, has a 241-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. The sportier M35i xDrive comes with a 312-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are standard.

The new infotainment system has BMW's latest operating system. Standard active safety systems include FCW that can identify pedestrians and cyclists, AEB, and BSW. An optional camera- and radar-based driver assistance system handles adaptive cruise control with steering assist, and can bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

2018-2023

2018 Model Redesign Year

The BMW X2 is designed to appeal to style-conscious customers who want a sporty-looking SUV but don't mind sacrificing interior space. Based on the X1, the lower, shorter X2 feels more like driving a car than an SUV. Its power comes from a gutsy 228-hp, turbocharged four-cylinder engine that's mated to a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. Front- and all-wheel drive are available. The ride is a bit stiff, but handling is sharp and engaging, making the X2 enjoyable to drive. The cabin is well made if a bit austere, with comfortable front seats and logical controls.

Outward visibility is hurt by the sleek styling. A sporty M35i version with 302 horsepower and standard all-wheel-drive arrived for 2019. Advanced safety features such as forward collision warning (FCW) and city-speed automatic emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection became standard on 2019 models. For 2020, the X2 got a new electronic gear selector. The X2 is in hiatus for 2023.
