Used 2021 BMW X2 for Sale near Ames, IA

The 2021 BMW X2, a subcompact crossover, goes into its fourth year largely unchanged. Rivals include the Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, Volvo XC40, and Cadillac XT4. The X2’s coupe-like styling helps it stand out from more traditional crossovers, including its sibling, the X1. The M35i model gets an upgrade from 18- to 19-inch wheels and a new mesh grille. This year’s color palette phases out Dark Olive Metallic and Mediterranean Blue Metallic, and adds Phytonic Blue Metallic and Storm Bay Metallic. A turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine comes standard across the lineup, with an eight-speed automatic transmission. In sDrive28i and xDrive28i models, it’s rated for 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, and comes with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, respectively. The M35i gets tuned for 302 hp and 332 lb-ft and gets intelligent all-wheel drive and an upgraded eight-speed automatic. The estimated fuel-economy return for the xDrive28i is 24 mpg city, 32 highway, and 27 combined, and the M35i, 23/30/26. The comfortable cabin comes loaded with tech and upscale touches, such as synthetic leather upholstery, 10-way power front seats, keyless start, automatic climate control, and a power rear liftgate. Options include keyless entry, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a head-up display (HUD), and a panoramic sunroof. The X2’s infotainment features include an 8.8-inch touchscreen, navigation, voice recognition, a seven-speaker audio system, Bluetooth, HD Radio, Apple CarPlay, and, new for this year, a one-year SiriusXM satellite radio subscription. Upgrades include wireless-device charging and a Harman Kardon premium audio system. BMW equips the X2 with a reversing camera and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Many more advanced safety features are available, including adaptive cruise control, front-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, speed-limit recognition, automatic high beams, and front and rear parking sensors. Those looking for an upscale small crossover with strong performance and unique looks should consider the 2021 BMW X2.
