2025 BMW X2

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

Good

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

5/8/2026

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 Expert Rating

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Reese Counts

Good

6.9

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

6.2/10

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 system helps, but it's not included as standard equipment.

Comfort

6/10

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

9.7/10

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

7/10

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

6.7/10

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 the automaker throws in three years/36,000 miles of included maintenance.

MPG

5/10

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

9/10

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.

2025 BMW X2 trim level differences

The 2025 BMW X2 is a small luxury crossover available in xDrive28i and M35i trims. The xDrive28i is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine making 241 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. A more potent version of the four-cylinder powers the M35i with 312 horsepower and the same 295 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Compare the 2025 BMW X2 trim levels in-depth.

Which X2 trim 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.

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 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.

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!!

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

I leased this car from BMW South Albany after one test drive, in May ‘24. I go a brand new one from the factory. I fully admit being suckered by looks and an initial fun drive HOWEVER the electronics are extremely glitchy across the board. Even after help from the tech guy who turned off the BMW system (terrible) so I could use Apple play without interference the sound comes and goes …

Bad Infotainment System !, update

JamesRob, 02/09/2025

2025 BMW X2 xDrive28i 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

I just purchased a new 2025 X2 and it has , by far, the WORST screen EVER ! The 'alleged genius' at BMW was very little help. Here are some things wrong : To get the remote start to work (which I did after multiple questions to AI) 1. Click Vehicle ( you must be on the right screen to see this) 2. Click climate control (two screens appear, neither is what you need) 3. Click the … little gear in the lower right corner 4. on the next screen click the little gear in the lower left corner now you are where you can turn it on 5. click the on/off slider to turn remote start on 6. But wait ! you aren't through ! don't just click home, you must click the white 'OK' letters otherwise you are starting over. And then if you click the BMW symbol on your remote 3 times the remote start will start. Nothing really guides you there, without AI, I wouldn't have found it. AI had trouble too, it required multiple precisely worded questions. For satellite radio, you get big icons for categories. But if you want to add a station to a pre select there isn't a good solution: 1. you can add to 'Sirius XM favorites' 2. you can add it to you 'shortcuts' If you do number 1, the process is 1. Click Media 2. Click Sirius XM, scroll through the stations 3. press the selected item, them click add to Sirius XM favorites Then to listen to, click Media, Sirius XM, Sirius XM favorites, then scroll through the favorites and select your station. So you can click 4 buttons to get to one radio station If you 'add to your shortcuts' then you have to figure out how to get to your shortcuts, which isn't straight forward. You have to swipe down from the top center, but make sure you are on the right screen. The swipe down feature seems to disappear on different screens. Also: 1. the screen is full of worthless junk that you will probably never use. Like games, zoom for your car, the BMW store, etc. too many to list. 2. The screen appears to be designed like an iPad. The buttons are too small. If you were sitting at a desk it would be fine, but when driving you want to just glance at them, and you need bigger buttons for that. 3. You can’t get rid of , or even hide the worthless apps that you will never use and you can’t resize the buttons. 4, you have a big picture of the car in the center console, then a tiny little gas gage , lower left. and a tiny little temperature gage lower right. 5. I think the car uses Ultra wide band technology. Every time I walk by the car it unlocks. often, I'm not going anywhere, just walking by the car. I'm an Ex application developer, and I know it ie easy to make screens difficult, and more work to make them clear and simple to use. Maybe they put some rookies on the design team :) 08-14-2025 update. I’ve got a little bit more used to the infotainment system, i’ve had the car since February 2025 and I’ve had time to experience things a little more. The system will do quite a bit, but clearly it is plagued with bugs, and BMW seems to be pretty slow at fixing them. I did some research and I found: the iDrive 8.5 software is Linux based. The iDrive9 software is Android based. Both are still in use on different new BMW vehicles You can easily tell which one a BMW will have because the iDrive8.5 has a twist knob on the council for selecting different modes. The idrive9 is the ‘future’ ( allegedly). I suspect the I drive 8.5 is much more stable. One thing really annoying is that you have to click OK , acknowledging you will only use the infotainment system software when it is safe. This is every single time you get a vehicle and start it. I called them one time and said I think I’ve done this Maybe 800 times now, I think I’ve got it. Is there a way I could get out of clicking OK , and BMW told me you can’t. BMW did not have to do this. If you look at some of the other cars sold in America, they do not have this. I suspect BMW is doing this because they feel it will limit their liability. I think all they are really doing is annoying their customers. In the older 8.5 software you could get ‘Bimmer code from the App Store and disable or change settings.BMW has locked this down in the iDrive9 software so you can’t change it. As of right now, here here is how things are going: - my phone gets dropped from time to time and I have to re-add it - and when adding the phone I have to add Apple CarPlay again - if you have two phones, the system will get confused and not know which one to connect even if you identify one of them as the primary - the radio will come on by itself and stay on after you exit the vehicle and the only way you could get it to shut off is to lock the doors - if you get in the vehicle and your door doesn’t close good and you don’t put your seatbelt on then put the car in drive. The software will automatically put the car back in park and it will display a message in your dashboard that states the vehicle is ready to drive. you will see the message and think everything is OK and put the car and drive again in the same thing will happen. Granted you should have your seatbelt on and you should have your door closed good but maybe you’re just moving the car a few feet and it really isn’t necessary. They do display a message that tells you to put your seatbelt on, but if you happen to be looking out the window and not looking at the dashboard, the message will go away and then you will see the message that the vehicle is ready to drive. They really should give you a chance to look at a message before they change it. In fairness, I have to say that the Card drives and handles beautifully. But when you have to keep dealing with software problems, it kind of takes away the enjoyment ownership. I recently visited a friend in another state and he had a new GMC Acadia and the software in that vehicle made my BMW software look extremely crude. At times I think about giving the car a higher review for its driving capabilities, but having had to deal with so many software issues I sometimes wonder if it should be two stars instead of three. If you look at the used 2025 BMW X2’s at Edmunds, you will see some with extremely low miles on them. I saw one that had 12 miles and one had around 900 miles. I kind of wonder if those owners experienced some of the problems that I’ve been experiencing ? I’m used to dealing with software issues as an application developer, but I know it can be very frustrating. 02-17-26 update I found out more about the bad BMW idrive9 software BMW put this software in its cheaper ‘low end’ vehicles because they knew it would be problems. If you get a ‘high end’ , $100,000 BMW you will get the older reliable software. BMW didn’t want their big money buyers to have problems. So if you get a cheaper BMW , only 50k, you are a tester for BMW. And why did they do this ? Because they are developing an Android based system and they never deployed it, so they needed testers to test it. Instead of testing it in test vehicles they put it low end vehicles. The new software called ‘Neue Klasse’ , will be developed from the IDrive9 software that we ‘Low class’ owners ( X1 and X2) are now testing for them. But wait, that’s not the end; when the ‘Neue Klasse’ software is deployed we will never be able to use it, because it will require different hardware. So we are basically screwed !

Too many features on the screen

Disgruntled BMW Driver, 05/21/2025

2024 BMW X2 xDrive28i 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

Just about everything is on the screen which is distracting and a safety hazard. I wish there were more knobs and buttons. Plus, many of the on-screen features require several clicks which is also distracting. Other features I don't like: No back windshield wiper; can't adjust the height of the shoulder seat belt; car connects to phone as soon as you open the door and not when you …
