All-New 2024 BMW X2 review // A lot of changes, not all perfect!

This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new BMW X2 subcompact luxury SUV. The 2024 BMW X2 is powered by a 2L turbocharged 4-cylinder with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission, 241 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. That’s an extra 13 horsepower and 37 lb-ft of torque compared to the outgoing model, standard AWD.
The more powerful 2024 BMW X2 M35i has the same 2L turbo 4 but with 312 horsepower, the torque number stays the same at 295 lb-ft.
The 2024 BMW X2 is a performer, there is plenty of power in the base engine, I don’t even think we would step up and buy the M35i, it’s just not necessary. This crossover is sporty and engaging to drive, it’s a nice blend of performance and versatility with agile handling, excellent cornering and comfort level.
The suspension and damping system have been updated to improve long distance comfort and reduce body movement over small bumps while also ensuring excellent behavior in corners. The 2024 BMW X2 M model adds more power, bigger brakes, a higher speed and an adaptive M suspension. The M suspension is included in the M sport package for the 28i which we have on our test model.
The 2024 BMW X2 is based on the same platform as the X1 but isn’t quite as practical, it has a coupe style silhouette but is bigger than the previous model. It is now 7.6” longer, just over half an inch wider and 2.5” taller.
The2024 BMW X2 starts at $52,749 CAD/$42,000 USD and the M35i $63,349 CAD/$51,400 USD.
Canadian pricing includes, freight, PDI and fees.
2024 BMW X2 fuel economy the xDrive 28i gets 9.7L/100 km, 24 MPG city and 7.1L/100 km, 33 MPG highway.

My God what happened to BMW styling? Never thought I'd miss Chris Bangle

The back end reminds me of an old Honda Crosstour, which is not a compliment.

I have an x1 and agree with you that the start stop is a pain in the a**. I had a 2020 x1 before changing to a 2023 and I liked it much better. It had buttons and centre selector. Thanks for your show..

[kbarrett]

This vehicle showcases BMW’s theft deterrent design language perfectly!

[billyshannon]

The styling hurts my eyes. The rear overhang makes it look like a boat. Busy is an understatement.

[FalenXangel]

Been waiting for this one! Owned a 2020 X2 M35i and have been looking forward to your review of the new one ever since it came out!

2:45 This is why I always deactivated voice activation. Since if i need one i can just press the button.

[Leo_Vasileio]

This vehicle is a design catastrophy, but great review otherwise

[whatgaca]

Nice! Thanks for roasting about the digital touch screen! We want buttons back!

[robertherman]

To each his own, I think it’s the best looking BMW in 10 years.

Exterior is hideous! I agree with hubby. Sits high with what looks like narrow lawnmower wheels. And the lines, angles and edges makes it look like what we thought a futuristic car would look like twenty years ago. An no physical buttons?! Main reason why the newest model of the Golf R is sitting on lots. Complete opposite of the beautiful styling and aggressive stance of let’s say a Porsche Macan :)

Good review as usual. I picked up an 2024 X1 2 months ago and while I was skeptical about the lack of buttons, you do get used to it. There's "always on" screen buttons for the heated seats/wheel and climate, music is easy to get to. The shifter too is ok but 100% agree with your my modes comment - I like to go into sport mode (a lot!) and it's a real pain.

I also prefer the look of the X1...the X2/X4/X6 have never really resonated with me...looks "chopped off" at the back.

Having had the X1 for a couple of months, it's a lot of fun to drive. What is a total disaster is the iDrive 9 software. I've had 2 software updates now and still have a myriad of problems (well documented on forums). The biggest one though is that Android Auto has stopped working entirely with the latest update (disconnects after a couple of mins). I feel BMW has nailed the driving dynamic, space and power for this segment but the software is a hot mess (that I dearly hope gets solved)

I saw an M35i today in Niagara. Was surprised how big it looked. The owner had it wrapped in a turquoise colour and it honestly looked hideous. But that colour would look good on a 55 Chevy belair 😅

I have a 2023 BMW X1 and really like it except there is a constant buzz coming from the drivers side grab handle and a couple of rattles on the passenger side. As for the start/stop I created a short cut so all I have to do is swipe down on the screen and select it, you can do it before or after you start it as long as the car is woke up.

[msbgone]

Can you program out the start/stop like I did in my 2014 X3.... As long as they got rid of the warning under 37 degree F! Thanks for the review!

[kkadkhoda]

Thx both!, I actually like the exterior as well as interior but not sold on reliability ….

[AllStars]

Would I be better off with the Mini Countryman?

[canpin]

Looks is great- not the boring rounded design thats always the same for years.

[rememberstayangry]

Bought a 2024 X3 5 months ago. Sure you miss out on a couple of newer tech features due to it still using Idrive 7.

it has buttons. I have a button to shut off the auto stop/start. I have buttons to change driving modes. I have buttons for climate controls.

This trend to move to touch screens is horrible. I also think it is also less safe.

The old X2 was sexy, with a shooting brake vibe. This is a Keurig coffee maker.
