The redesigned 2024 BMW X2 is the most affordable of the automaker’s Sports Activity Coupes.

Based 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.
