2025 BMW X2

Price Range: $42,850 - $52,300

The 2025 BMW X2 is all about style and feel. It offers a premium interior with some of the best tech in the class. The roofline doesn't cut into the cargo area as much as you might expect either. We were underwhelmed by the clunky powertrain, but the X2 is one of the better small luxury SUVs around.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Jared Gall

5/12/2025

Mechanically a twin of the BMW X1, the X2 drapes sleeker fastback bodywork over the same major mechanical pieces. BMW pioneered the modern SUV "coupe" body style with the X6, and it now offers equivalent high-style derivatives of all its SUVs. Fully redesigned for 2024, the current-generation X2 is more spacious than its predecessor and boasts standard all-wheel drive.

Edmunds spotlight: The tale of the tape

While the dimensional differences between the X2 and its traditional SUV sibling are minimal, they merit a close examination by shoppers placing a premium on interior space. In the front row, X2 occupants have 1.4 inches less headroom. In the back seat, the X2 loses 2.2 inches of headroom. Unlike most coupe-style SUVs, though, the X2 retains much of the X1's cargo space.

Competitors to consider

The X2's fiercest competition is the vehicle it shares its underpinnings with, the BMW X1. While most luxury brands now build coupe-style SUVs, few others do so in this size class. The Mercedes-Benz GLB and GLA are outstanding choices, and Mercedes-Benz's infotainment system is vastly easier to operate than BMW's. Most of the X2's other competitors are electric, including the Audi Q4 E-tron, Genesis GV60 and Volvo C40 Recharge.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Reese Counts

Good

7.8

out of 10

We drove the 2025 BMW X2 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

7.6/10

How does the BMW X2 drive? We tested the BMW X2 M35i, which is the sporty version of the X2. It's fitted with a more powerful engine and other hardware enhancements. It performed well at the Edmunds test track, sprinting from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds. That's impressively quick for a small luxury SUV. Braking and handling performance were solid, too, though much of that was down to our test vehicle's performance tires. But the X2 doesn't feel nearly as nice on the street. There's a delay between pushing the gas and the engine supplying power, and we found the transmission's shifting jerky and sluggish.

Ride quality was below average, a trade-off for the X2 M35i's sporty handling. It isn't backbreaking, but the X2 doesn't hide bumps or imperfections very well. We suggest trying the xDrive28i if you want the smoothest ride. The X2's sleek design also makes it a bit difficult to see out of. The surround-view camera helps, but it's not included as standard equipment.

Comfort

7.3/10

How comfortable is the BMW X2? Comfort and convenience aren't the X2's strong suits. The seats are well shaped and supportive, but we found long drives could get wearing on you because of the stiff seat padding. The front seats offer decent space, but the X2's sloping roofline limits rear headroom. That roofline also makes installing a car seat a bit cumbersome, though the Isofix anchors are easy to access.

The X2 uses touchscreen controls for almost all major features, including for things like the standard dual-zone automatic climate control system. We would prefer easier-to-use physical knobs or switches to adjust things like the temperature or heated seats. One area where the X2 shines is keeping wind and road noise out of the cabin. It's a quiet SUV on the highway.

In-cabin tech

9.5/10

How’s the tech? The X2's infotainment system is one of the best around. The touchscreen is easy to see and responsive to use. There are plenty of built-in apps for music and more that you can use, and the system itself offers a decent level of customization. The maps for the built-in navigation system are helpful and well labeled.

If you prefer to use your own device for navigation, the BMW X2 offers standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both use wireless connectivity. You also get two USB-C ports in each row. There's a wireless charging pad, too, and the clever vertical design helps keep the center console nice and tidy.

Storage & cargo

7.5/10

How’s storage and cargo? Cargo space in the X2 is lackluster. The sloping roofline cuts into the cargo area and limits the height of items you can fit. But as long as you're not packing anything particularly tall — admittedly a large caveat — there's plenty of room in the rear. The X2 offers 25.3 cubic feet with the seats up and 51.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat. That's more than a lot of rivals, even those with a more traditional SUV shape.

Storage in the cabin isn't quite as good as it is in the cargo area. The door pockets and center console are surprisingly small for a SUV, and that limits places to put your sunglasses or larger water bottles.

Value

7.9/10

Is the BMW X2 a good value? The X2 has premium interior materials and excellent fit and finish. It's one of the classiest cabins you'll find among extra-small luxury SUVs. The X2 is available with tons of features, too, from upgraded audio systems to a wide suite of driver aids. Unfortunately, very little of it comes as standard equipment. A decked-out X2 is going to cost you.

BMW has basic and powertrain warranties of four years/50,000 miles, which isn't anything special, but it also includes three years/36,000 miles of included maintenance.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

MPG

7/10

How’s the fuel economy? The BMW X2 xDrive28i has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 28 mpg combined. The more powerful X2 M35i does slightly worse, with a rating of 26 mpg combined. That's about average for an extra-small luxury SUV, and we matched the M35i's combined figure in testing.

X factor

8/10

In the right setting, the X2 is more fun to drive than the average small SUV. That's especially true in M35i trim like our test vehicle, with its 312-horsepower turbocharged engine. We didn't have as much fun driving it as we expected because of the slow-to-respond powertrain, but overall the X2 offers more potential excitement than most rival models.

Coupe-like SUVs used to stand out a lot more 15 years ago, but the BMW's styling has been copied so many times by now that the X2 doesn't feel as interesting and novel as it did when the first generation debuted.

Which X2 does Edmunds recommend?

With 241 horsepower, the base X2 xDrive28i is spunky enough to keep most drivers interested, especially considering it's a nearly $10,000 step up to the M35i. You can spec an xDrive28i with nearly every tech and luxury feature available — including the M35i's sport suspension and upgraded brakes — and still sneak in below the more powerful model's base price.

So Much Fun To Drive

4th BMW and Best One Yet!!, 03/20/2024

2024 BMW X2 M35i 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

Just picked up the M35i in Storm Bay Metallic. It’s beautiful and powerful. Came out of a ‘21 X3 and this is so much more fun to drive with just slightly smaller cargo and interior space. The engine is powerful and the handling is great. Love the looks!!

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2025 BMW X2, so we've included review for other years of the X2 since its last redesign.
