This is not for everyone
Rick, Aubrey, TX, 09/17/2018
2018 BMW X2 sDrive28i 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
Great looking, head turner, good performance, car like SUV and not a BOX. Critics need to understand different requirements for different people. Not everybody needs to have very spacious rear seats, nor everyone needs BOX design SUV.
A Sporty Hatchback with the Emphasis on Sport!

2018 BMW X2 sDrive28i 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
Get behind the wheel and you will tell the difference with the X2. It provides an engaging driving experience unlike most SUVs of this class. We love ours and don't mind a little less cargo space. As empty nesters this model fits our daily life style with ease. It also has been totally reliable, very comfortable, and very good on gas mileage.
Perfect for lease

2018 BMW X2 sDrive28i 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
Overall I am happy with the X2. I got a really good deal on a lease however, if not for the deal I would probably not purchase the car. Here are my pros and cons. Pros - looks great inside and out, handles great/quick, apple play, nice and relatively easy to use technology, seats are comfy, bright headlamps. Cons - poor visibility (literally cannot see out the back window if middle … head rest is in), disappointed for a car that retails for 41k does not have blind spot monitoring (even other makes costing half have this), limited space in back, trunk space is not bad though, cup holders very small.
Never again BMW
Sue W, Houston, TX, 01/06/2019
2018 BMW X2 sDrive28i 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
I always wanted to own a BMW but am very disappointed. Purchased an X2 thinking it would have some superior options (premium package and comfort package) and very dissapointed. Car is very noisy and back up camera does not even beep. Does not hold a candle to my 2015 Ford Escape. I’ve only owned it a week and can’t wait to trade it in..... sad
Edmunds Summary Review of the 2018 BMW X2 sDrive28i SUV
What’s new
- The X2 is an all-new vehicle
- It's based on BMW's X1
Pros & Cons
- Pro:Unique styling differentiates the X2 from the more traditional X1
- Pro:Materials quality and build quality are top-notch
- Con:Costs more than the nearly identical X1 crossover
- Con:Less rear headroom and cargo space than the X1
Which X2 does Edmunds recommend?
There's only one trim available, so the choice comes down to picking either the front-wheel-drive sDrive28i or the all-wheel-drive xDrive28i. From there, we recommend adding the Convenience package for features that a modern luxury car should be equipped with, including keyless entry, auto-dimming mirrors and satellite radio. We like the Premium package, but tech-savvy drivers can save money and approximate its features by adding the stand-alone Apple CarPlay and the optional heated steering wheel and heated front seats.
Full Edmunds Review: 2018 BMW X2 SUV
Driving
The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder provides ample power for a vehicle of this size. The steering wheel requires a bit more effort to turn than others in the class, but it's still easy to drive at low speeds. The all-wheel-drive system makes this small crossover feel agile around corners.
Comfort
The seats are narrow and hard, the ride is firm, and the cabin lets in noticeable amounts of road and tire noise. That said, these issues are common among bargain-price luxury SUVs.
Interior
A wide range of adjustments for front-seat passengers makes it easy to set up a comfortable driving position. We also like the X2's high-quality interior materials. The rear headroom is good in the X1, but the X2's sloping roofline reduces that by a few inches.
Utility
The cargo space is inferior to that in the X1: 21.6 cubic feet in the X2 compared to the X1's 27.1 cubes. Maximum cargo capacity decreases from 58.7 cubic feet in the X1 to 50.1 cubes in the X2. Child seat anchors are easily accessible behind plastic covers on the seat bottom.
