# 2018-2024 BMW X2 xDrive25d The BMW X2 is a sporty, coupe-styled subcompact crossover that slots below the X1, targeting younger buyers seeking distinctive design over practicality. The xDrive25d features a 2.0-liter turbodiesel producing around 190 horsepower with BMW's all-wheel-drive system. Reviewers praise its athletic handling and engaging driving dynamics—unusual for small SUVs—plus premium interior quality. However, it's criticized for limited rear headroom due to the sloping roofline, a firm ride, and smaller cargo space than conventional rivals. The X2 is famous for prioritizing style over substance, drawing comparisons to the X4 and X6 as a "coupe-SUV." The diesel variant offers excellent fuel economy and torque for European markets. **Best suited for:** Urban singles or couples prioritizing aesthetics and driving enjoyment over family practicality, particularly for highway commuting where the diesel excels.
The X2 xDrive25d diesel features BMW's B47 engine, generally reliable but prone to EGR/DPF issues if driven mainly short distances. Expect premium fuel costs, expensive BMW dealer servicing (though independents help), and higher insurance due to luxury badge. AdBlue top-ups required. Timing chain typically robust on this generation, unlike earlier BMWs.
