I reckon it's closer to the MINI Countryman S All4 than the X1. The dimensions are nearly identical, and the engines are shared (as well as most everything else).
performance and design king of his segment 💪💪💪💪👍👍👍
Why hasn’t BMW changed the dash design yet?! It’s so old.
Tom L i think they are taking the back seat approach, saving a fortune in the meantime in research and development and sticking to traditional push buttons. If it aint broke, why fix it. Even Porsche are going all screens now, maybe a vw group influence.
In the new 3 series it has but i ageee it’s a let down
Not an SUV fan, but I think this looks great. Good review too. Just subscribed!
What happens to the "rugged good looks" that you've mentioned in 2016 Top 5 reasons to buy a BMW X1, and now becomes ugly when the X2 is released?
Kenny, as I said to our mate Edwin above tastes change and so does what somebody thinks is good looking over the years. If you look in that top 5 video you'll see me wearing a pair of jeans I would never wear today. At the time I thought they were damned hot, now looking back I'd never wear those things again. Richard Berry
I get you after visiting the showroom and looking at the X2 sitting right behind the X1, and kinda agree the noise from the run flat tyres for BMW.
His reviews are the best on UA-cam !
Awww Pete, you're too kind. Thank you. Richard Berry
Can someone plse tell where to look for paint code as i scratched it .cant seem to find where it is
What do you reckon: BMW X2 or would you get the Audi Q2? There's also the Benz GLA and Mini Countryman, aaaaaand coming soon will be the Volvo XC40 which we're damned excited about. Richard Berry
CarsGuide I’m a VW/Audi guy in essence but I can’t really cotton on to the styling of the Q2 but I’m sure it’s a nice car as is this BMW, it’s better looking to me than the Q2, inside though it’s a bit same old same old, not a bad thing per se but it would’ve been nice to see a bit more investment in the Interior styling flair. What really doesn’t seem great is the lack of what I would assume should be on the latest executive euro cars like the AEB etc. if you’re ok with it then that’s your business I guess.
Mini Countryman... No.
Volvo XC40 might be the pick as the all round car but not super fussed on the styling of the either, if I were in the market for such a vehicle I personally would re-examine the Q2 and see if I could come to terms with the styling as opposed to the kit on offer at the prices or maybe I’d give the Volvo those same considerations. I do find it puzzling the BMW is only going to offer AWD with a diesel, in this sized SUV... no thanks..
Jaguar E pace P250 . Silent yet sporty with unmatched looks in this sector .
Looking forward!!
Will you do a comparison video soon for the above-mentioned cars?
CarsGuide The active tourer hands down
Awesome review. Luv from Pakistan
Nice review. Congratulations
what do you think about mine?
sitting at the driver position, how is the visibility by looking from the rear view mirror? if you have tall adults sitting on the rear seat, would you as the driver see clearly? I am curious to know. Thanks. As always love your review Richard.
HenryTo hey I have an X2, rear view with adults in the back is a problem although I rarely have people sitting back there
road noise is a deal breaker
quadcoreQ true, also as a suv x1 can’t even handle speed bump well, x2 could be worse.
Keep in mind Australia has some of the chippiest and noisiest roads I have seen anywhere; it might well be acceptable where you drive.
I test drove the X1 a couple of years ago, motorway driving the noise was unbearable, I asked the “BMW genius” who accompanied me, is this noise normal ? He said he didn’t hear it !!!!
Suffice to say I said no thanks, but I did buy a new 320d which I love
U said x1 is good looking in 2016 😂 and now u r saying x1 is Ugly. Take a time to look at your videos before you are recording
Ah Edwin, nothing gets past you my friend. But you see, back in 2016 I also thought shiny dress shirts were amazing, now I reckon they're horrible and I wouldn't be seen dead in one. Tastes change as new trends and designs emerge. Richard Berry
CarsGuide never look dead in one is good, but if you really love a design and you wouldn’t change your opinion is 2 year and think it was ugly right? 😂 what do you think the people saw your recommendation in 2016 and bought the x1? They spend 50-70 thousands get a good design in 2016 and it is now get a ugly comment.
Edwin Chen X1 was good looking back then. Now it's just boring. But not ugly. I think that's what he is trying to say...
because the x2 makes everything else look ugly 👍
Oh shut up ya Chinese
Taste changes,go drive your Chinese copy of x2
Yet another small SUV, sooner or later we will reach saturation point with these bloody things. A medium or large SUV is useful, as you can get a reasonable amount of stuff in it, and do meaningful things. A small one is just a hatchback with a mild lift kit, you don’t even get the benefit of a high driving position.
R Soul moms like small suvs man. They don't want big ones coz they can't handle them and they like the height an suv has. So bmw is targeting right where it should. Delivering a mom car a dad can drive.
sofronis micharl buddy, with respect, I have kids, and you would be staggered to see just how fast your vehicle fills up with all the attachments required to transport them, baby seats, booster seats, prams, capsules, that is before you try putting in incidental items like going to the beach, scooters, bags etc. Small SUVs might look like they will be adequate in the showroom completely unladen, in real world usage as a family car you might as well have a hatchback.
@@rsoul7282 I thinks this is more about looks and style than practicality. BMW is a brand of wants not needs, so this fits perfect.
StrongsvilleGUY negative good sir, when selecting your vehicle in the SUV category, if you are not a narcissist, get the tool for the job. Small BMWs of this class are demonstrating your disregard for what is best as a family hauler, and how you preference the smell of your own farts. Either get your BMW when young and dumb, or when your kids have moved out and you are old and wankerish.
@@rsoul7282 Lol, why the hate?
I don't think it is smart or kind to attack people. I was actually just adding to your point that its more about style and brand over usability. From a marketing segmentation point of view, BMW clearly sees one. It's not targeted to be a family hauler. BMW is possibly trying to address trends where families are getting smaller and people are living longer. Personally, I'm thinking of getting one for my Mom, in her old age its easier for her to get in one of these than my car. The hatch is easier to carry her walker and a few other things. We've had BMW's in the family for over 25 years so she is comfortable with the brand. Maybe this vehicle doesn't fit in your life, but there is no need to spread hate, its just a niche vehicle.
Another great review Richard!
Thanks Ben. Richard Berry.
very detailed review ... you did not seem so fit in the backseats ...little bit dscomfort may be ... but this is the most proper comparing video x2 vs x1 ... thanks for that ..
Ahmet, thank you. Yes there's not huge amounts of room in the back seat, but I am very tall - 191cm and I did have the driver's seat in my driving position. Richard Berry
This car is supposed to be sportier than the x1 right? How come it’s 0.2s slower? Wtf?
the one thing that is unBMW about this car......front wheel drive
fauzi hassan
It’s based on the X1, which is a FWD platform.
Yup. BMW used to trade on the whole RWD thing, but that's all changed. Richard Berry
Amazing what people will swallow when it comes to marketing... it's like the price gap between the Hyundai Kona & i30 - basically identical cars, yet people will throw cash at the 'SUV' ethos. I'd rather just get a hot hatch with the same practicality & lower running costs ie tyres.
Nice car great review adorable tattoos
I turned off when he said the x1 was ugly, this man clearly has taste and judgement issues.
Nice :)
The x1 is not ugly. The x3 is
The new X3 tried so hard to look like the new X1, but ended up looking ugly
10 minutes video and no dashboard detail?
We used the B-roll BMW gave us - I wish we had some to go in there! Richard Berry
People who r 191cm tall....should not review cars. It makes them look too small. which is not realistic
Tattoo sleeve guys look funny in BMWs
Nice but I still prefer the X1.
A BMW that looks like a... Levante! Great review :)
Thanks new suno. It does a bit... dammit... you've done that thing again! Richard Berry
Yup, that’s right 😊
Looks like a Hyundai Santa Fe from side
I reckon x1 is much more prettier than x2.
The lower grill looks like the mouth of a fish. 😦
Totally. Richard Berry
“Tattoo Daddy Long legs spider” 😂
Got to be honest with you - I didn't come up with that. Somebody called me it in the comments of one of my other videos. Best troll comment ever. Richard Berry
hahaha
Mr Berry 1 - Troll 0
** X2, absolutely proud of herself 😔 **
RB: You're okay.
** X2 stares at the mirror and cries **
sorry...but why do people with tattoos feel obliged to flaunt them at us? Am I th only one who is put off by them?
Perittologos Megas yes you are
well, probably the only one who's not PC about them...
well, everyone else can be wrong ;-)
Perittologos Megas beat it kojak
Why do u think thats flaunt
nice review but the car x2 is pathetic...
This X2 is definelty not "cool". Very dull and I personally think ugly. Its got BMW logos on all sides and a squished rear. Its also a fwd based car. I'll pass
Blake, which SUV do you reckon is cool? Audi Q2? Richard Berry
