Reviews SummaryThe 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA delivers on all thing things a subcompact SUV is supposed to do. It’s cute, compact (but not cramped), and easily maneuverable. The new, eighth-generation GLA gives customers a lot of what they expect but also lacks the refinement of other Mercedes models. | |
Reviews SummaryBased on the BMW X1, the new 2024 X2 is an SUV coupe because it has a sloping roofline for a sportier appearance. However, the X2 is longer than the X1 and offers about the same passenger room and cargo space, so aside from its higher price, there isn’t a downside to choosing it over its boxier sibling. The 2024 BMW X2 comes in xDrive28i and more powerful M35i flavors with Sport or M Sport trim. Verdict: Get the 2024 BMW X2 M35i for maximum driving fun because the X2 xDrive28i is disappointing in that respect. Simply put, the xDrive28i lacks the dynamism expected of a BMW, even with the M Sport upgrade. That makes it harder to overlook the X2’s awkward new styling and sometimes confusing controls. | |
