A Sporty Take On The Traditional SUV
The 2024 BMW X2 xDrive28i enters its second generation with a bolder, more coupe-like design and a larger footprint. It builds on BMW’s “Sports Activity Coupe” identity with athletic proportions, an upgraded interior, and refined performance technology.
New Platform, Same sporty, Coupe-Like Design
The X2’s exterior styling is immediately more expressive than before. A wider stance and extended body length give it a stronger road presence, while the sharply contoured surfaces and fastback-style roofline add a sporty edge. Overall, the X2 has grown by 7.6 inches in length over its predecessor, to 179.8.
Signature design elements include a wider, sharper evolution of the kidney grille, slim LED headlights, and muscular rear haunches. At the rear, thin LED taillights and a pronounced spoiler emphasize the SUV’s dynamic shape. Standard 19-inch wheels complete the look, with available 21-inch options and M Sport design packages adding even more visual impact.
Sophisticated / Tech-Savvy Cabin
Inside, the X2 features a driver-focused layout with premium materials and modern details. A curved digital display integrates the instrument cluster and central touchscreen for a streamlined look. Sport seats with ample bolstering are available, along with upscale trim choices such as aluminum accents and available stitched dashboard surfaces. The extended wheelbase provides more legroom for rear passengers and improved cargo space.
BMW’s latest iDrive 9 system powers the X2’s infotainment, offering a customizable home screen and improved voice controls. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard, along with a premium audio system. Available tech includes a head-up display, wireless device charging, and an advanced driver-assistance suite with features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping support.
BMW TwinPower Performance & Efficiency
The X2 xDrive28i is powered by a 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine producing 241 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. BMW estimates a 0–60 mph time of around 6.2 seconds, giving the compact SUV plenty of punch. Despite its performance, the engine remains efficient, with an EPA-estimated 24 MPG City, 33 MPG Highway, and a combined fuel economy of 28 mpg.
Warranty Coverage
The 2024 BMW X2 xDrive28i is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty. BMW also includes complimentary scheduled maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles, adding peace of mind to its premium ownership experience.
Final Takeaway
In the compact luxury crossover class, the 2024 BMW X2 xDrive28i carves out a distinctive niche. Its sharply creased exterior, coupe-inspired contours, and purposeful front end offer more than mere visual flair—they point toward a driving demeanor that’s confident and composed. While the styling may not please everyone, it clearly stakes a claim: this is a BMW that daringly blends sporty coupe aesthetics with day‑to‑day SUV usability.
