2020 BMW X2 Preview summaryImage

The BMW X2, a small crossover, enters its third year for 2020. Prime competitors include BMW’s own X1, the Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, Volvo XC40, Lexus UX, and Cadillac XT4.

The X2 resembles a lifted hatchback and features a set of 18-inch alloy wheels standard. For more expressive styling, look at the M35i, which gets exclusive aerodynamic styling and 19-inch wheels.

The sDrive28i and xDrive28i get the same engine, a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine, rated for 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. It pairs with an 8-speed automatic transmission that includes sport and manual shift modes. The sDrive28i features front-wheel drive (FWD), while the xDrive28i upgrades to all-wheel drive (AWD).

The version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine featured in the M35i sees some major upgrades, including a bigger turbocharger, for ratings of 302 hp and 332 lb-ft. Intelligent AWD, which is capable of shifting power between axles as necessary, and an upgraded 8-speed automatic transmission handle the power. The estimated fuel-economy return for the xDrive28i is 24 mpg city, 32 highway, and 27 combined. For the M35i, expect fuel-economy returns of 23/30/26.

The cabin features a mix of elegant and sporty styling. Standard features include keyless start, leatherette upholstery, 10-way power front seats, automatic climate control, and a power tailgate. Add the Convenience package for features such as keyless entry, auto-dimming mirrors, heated front seats, a garage door opener, and a panoramic sunroof. The Premium package adds options such as a heated steering wheel and a head-up display (HUD).

For 2020, the X2 features an 8.8-inch touchscreen display, upgraded from last year’s 6.5-inch unit. Features include navigation, voice recognition, a 7-speaker audio system, Bluetooth, HD Radio, and a one-year subscription to Apple CarPlay. Options include satellite radio, wireless-device charging, and a Harman Kardon premium audio system.

Standard safety features include a reversing camera and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Adaptive cruise control, front-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, automatic high beams, speed-limit recognition, and front and rear parking sensors are available as options.

With approachable styling and strong performance potential, the X2 is one of the leaders in its class.

No, the car has been in an accident, and the price is too high. It would be difficult to get the vehicle insured if the accident occurred in the front of the car. Jul 01, 2024

This car has some great features! It also has power, nice sound, and handles very nicely! After driving my x1, I found the x2 even more comfortable, however slightly less room/space but still plenty of room. Great value! Sep 16, 2023
