The second generation BMW X2 is a rather different proposition from the first. Jonathan Crouch drives it.
Ten Second Review
This is a very different kind of BMW X2, a second generation model that's bigger, sharper, cleverer and more sure of itself. You'll need to like the divisive looks, but if you do, you might end up wondering why you'd pay nearly as much for the less individual X1 model this car is based on.
Background
The small, premium badged Coupe-SUV is a car of our times. An extension of a concept championed mainly (though not exclusively) by BMW. Who started it all with the large X6 (of 2008, based on the X5), extended it with the mid-sized X4 (of 2014, based on the X3) and then completed it with the first generation version of the compact X2 (of 2017, based on the X1). Both the X6 and the X4 were successful enough to merit follow-up models and the X2 is no different, with the second generation version we look at here announced in autumn 2023.
Like its predecessor, it's entirely based around BMW's boxier entrant in the small SUV class, the X1, in this case the U11-series model that arrived in 2022. And, like that car, it comes with a totally redesigned cabin, a fresh standard of media connectivity and the new option of an all-electric version, the iX2. For combustion variants, the most obvious rival is Audi's Q3 Sportback, but if you're prepared to widen your buying brief, there's no shortage of small premium SUVs with sporting pretensions for this X2 to take on.

In real looks amazing

[@llcoolzay100]

Many claim this bmw is ugly but this is aimed towards young adults with style and swag many of you who say it’s ugly don’t have that swag

[@Palaemon44]

I’m not young, in fact I’m a septuagenarian, and devoid of any swag so I think it’s pretty homely, but I bought one anyway. I like the way BMWs drive and it fits all my other requirements better than the competitors. Luckily I’m on the inside, (which is quite attractive), driving it so everybody else has to look at the outside 😊.

I myself am no longer consider a young person I just love new and stylish toys and this bmw looks great

[@michelleclair2558]

@@Palaemon44 I'm one too and I love it!

[@MT-mb5ko]

I had a 3 series for 13 years, and a X2 for 6 more, and also now buying the new x2. I don't understand the snobism of UK/US reviewers, always mentionning the UKL2 chassis common with the countryman. It is a genuine BMW, get over it! Not everyone wants to own a X6 or X4 regardless of budget... Other than that, it is a nice review, thanks!

No rear wiper will be really annoying on mucky winter drives.

[@mubirudenis809]

It is missing the v6 online

[@hobojon44]

lot of safety stuf sounds like our toyota did bmw and toyota get together

[@beatles4sale2007]

“Big, sharper, cleverer and uglier”….the ix1 looks a lot better, BMW designers boo-booed again on this one.

[@DerLangolier]

Oddly, I'm not a fan of the X1. I just don't like it's boxy look. But I guess it's what catches your eye.

[@AlphaOmega333]

That front grill still looks like an abomination of a KIA and pig. Yikes.

[@DerLangolier]

Lmfao 🤣
