BMW X2 SUV 2018 in-depth review - Carbuyer

With the X2, BMW is hoping to appeal to younger and more style-conscious buyers than would go for the more conventional X1 and X3. But does its sleek, coupe-like styling compromise practicality too much? Ginny Buckley finds out...

I really like Ginny and her reviews! Good job!

Not a fan of crossovers but the X2 looks more dynamic and desirable than the X4/6

It still makes me laugh how some car manufacturers still do not support Android Auto. It only accounts for 86.2% of the global market.

Great Video Review. I particularly like the quality of the materials used In the X2 and I would recommend the 20d SE as the pick of the range

“Just isn’t as much headspace in here as the X1” .... *reaches about a whole foot above her head*

It’s not really an SUV at all. It’s just a shame they have to call it an X car to massively increase the sales.

I have been driving for six months and love it. Handsome, great pleasure to drive, and its not too small. If you also like firm cars, I strongly recommend.

would love to have been at that meeting when they discussed not having android auto

The horrible ride quality on many new cars that try too hard to be sporty really puts me off, but it seems like the general public doesn't care much about that. The super-firm Honda HR-V has sold extremely well where I live despite its (to me) unacceptable ride quality.

Lovely looking car but I wish they would change the interior, it’s getting boring & long overdue for a serious redesign.

[YonePepe]

i actually really like the design of this car!

[coreyjameshaims]

I just find it funny the X2 looks more like the current 1 series, just hiked up. BMW model naming logic.

[DFSTechAuto]

looks a fine motors but i think those bmw badges just behind the rear doors look out of place, if i bought it, id want them removed

[-DC-]

Fantastic looking car and usually I can't stand BMW!

[rubenbonga]

This is the only suv that i actullay like the look of good job bmw.

[maksymtt]

X1 looks better for me. Or, even better, the 1-series

[sebthings]

Good to see that a lot of things, that used to be options on BMW are standard. Welcome in the new millenium BMW.

[gbej]

HOW are BMW interior designers still employed ?!

[jonnyjones]

Those scuff plates want to be on the bumper not on plastic on the inside of the boot, Who ever came up with that wants sacking.

[markuslc]

i am young fellow and i d still prefer the x1, the d2 doesn’t look good from the front, the headlights and the kidneys look wierd.
