BMW X2 - 4.0 / 5

A curious proposition

A mixture of design traits

On the road – a true BMW?

Gearbox holds the ace cards 

Earning its premium spurs

Big and small

Spending more for less

A tech overload

To recap

Coupe? SUV? Hatch? A bit of all three, the new BMW X2 cuts a new niche in the crowded crossover market. It’s difficult to pigeon-hole, but what’s not in doubt is that it drives like a true BMW. Gets expensive with options, like all premium cars – but there’s much to like, including decent space on board, a high-quality interior and (once you’re past an initial familiarity phase) good tech.
