2020 BMW X2 Trims Comparison

2020 X2 trim level differences

The 2020 BMW X2 is a subcompact luxury crossover available in three trims. The front-wheel-drive sDrive28i and all-wheel-drive xDrive28i are both powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (228 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque). The all-wheel-drive M35i also uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, but it's considerably more powerful, at 301 hp and 331 lb-ft.

An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard across the board. The 28i models have a seemingly endless number of extras grouped into packages, though some are available as stand-alone options. Some of these features are standard on the M35i.

The sDrive28i and the xDrive28i share the same level of standard features, including 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors, a power liftgate, push-button ignition, driver-seat memory functions, a 40/20/40-split rear seat, simulated leather upholstery, and dual-zone automatic climate control. You also get BMW's ConnectedDrive services, navigation, an 8.8-inch touchscreen, and a seven-speaker audio system with HD radio and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration.

Standard safety features include automatic high beams, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning with low-speed automatic emergency braking.

A number of packages are available, centering on additional luxury, performance and safety features. We recommend getting the Convenience package, which adds power-folding mirrors, keyless entry, auto-dimming exterior and interior mirrors, satellite radio, adjustable lumbar support for the front seats, and a universal garage door opener. A panoramic sunroof is also included, but it can be deleted if you wish.

The comprehensive M Sport X package starts with the Convenience package and adds sporty upgrades, including 19-inch wheels, aerodynamic enhancements, a sport-tuned transmission, and an M Sport steering wheel with wheel-mounted shift paddles. A sport-tuned suspension and 20-inch wheels are optional. The Dynamic Handling package further adds adaptive dampers and steering.

The M235i increases power output and includes everything above, except the panoramic sunroof, 20-inch wheels, and adaptive dampers. (All are optional.) It also adds larger brakes, a limited-slip differential on the front axle, a launch control feature and a rear spoiler. Performance seats are optional.

BMW also offers a Premium package for all X2s, which adds navigation, heated front seats and a head-up display. Stand-alone options include adaptive cruise control, leather upholstery, an automated parking system, a 12-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system and a wireless charging pad.

Which 2020 X2 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Since the trims are broken out by powertrain, buyers can decide whether they need front- or all-wheel drive or if the high-octane M35i is worth the extra cost. We think most people would be served well by the standard sDrive28i, which offers solid performance and a long list of features. We also like the Convenience package, which adds numerous upgrades for a reasonable price. But if you're considering the xDrive28i with the M Sport X package, it might be worth paying a little more for the M35i.
