The BMW X2 sDrive20i (2018-2024) is a compact luxury crossover coupe that slots beneath the X1, targeting style-conscious urban buyers. Powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing around 192 horsepower, it offers front-wheel drive in a swoopy, coupe-like SUV package. Reviewers praise its sharp styling, premium interior, and engaging handling—unusual for the segment—but criticize its limited rear headroom, firm ride, and smaller cargo space compared to the X1. It's also relatively expensive for its size. The X2 is somewhat infamous for prioritizing form over function, with its sloped roofline compromising practicality. It's well-suited for singles or couples wanting a distinctive, driver-focused luxury crossover for city commuting and weekend getaways, but families needing space should look elsewhere. The X2 appeals to those who value BMW's sporting character in a fashionable, compact package.
The X2 sDrive20i features BMW's B48 turbo four-cylinder, generally reliable but prone to occasional timing chain and coolant system issues. Maintenance costs are premium-brand typical with expensive dealer servicing. Insurance runs higher than non-luxury competitors. Front-wheel-drive configuration reduces complexity versus xDrive models. Extended warranty recommended given potential electronic module failures.
