BMW X2

Current Model

The BMW X2 may 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 austere, with comfortable front seats and logical controls. Outward visibility and rear-seat room are hurt by the sleek styling. Standard active safety features include FCW, and AEB with pedestrian detection. As with the X1, neither BSW nor RCTW is available.

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.
