2018 BMW X2
Introducing Your New Favorite Crossover SUV
An all-new model, the BMW X2 manages to combine the classic aspects we love about the Ultimate Driving Machine (even sneaking in an homage to the CS coupes of the 60s and 70s with the BMW roundel on its C-pillar) with new design notes and touches we're sure will please even the most diehard BMW fans. Add in exciting tech features, eye-catching design, and a road feel that's second to none, and what's not to love?
Performance
In terms of power, the BMW X2 sports a transverse-mounted turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine that's good for 228 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to the X2's 8-speed automatic transmission—plus BMW's Eco Pro, Comfort, and Sport driving modes—you're guaranteed to have a fun drive, no matter where the road takes you.
Design & Technology
If there's one word we'd use to describe the X2, it's "bold." From nose to tailpipe, there's no mistaking the X2 for anything else (even the X1 it's derived from). Every aspect of the X2's interior, from its long hood to its steeply raked windshield to the sculpted lines of its rear, gives it a style that's all its own, a style that's only enhanced by the optional rally-inspired M Sport X package.
Inside the X2, you'll find a beautifully furnished interior complete with the latest in tech you'd expect, including the iDrive infotainment system, Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity, your choice of a 6.5-inch or 8.8-inch touchscreen display, BMW Connected+ functionality, Bluetooth®, and more. Because when the outside of a vehicle looks this good, shouldn't the inside do the same?
Safety
Standard safety equipment on the 2018 BMW X2 includes anti-lock brakes, stability and traction controls, and a full array of airbags. Optional features include lane departure warning, automatic high beams, a forward-collision warning system, as well as low-speed automated emergency braking.
Verdict
Belying its existence as an all-new model, the 2018 BMW X2 offers everything we've come to expect from a BMW crossover SUV, including an impressive combination of luxury, technology, and performance.
