VERDICTSCR.ORG/CARS NEW CARS 73BMW X2
The BMW X2 is designed to appeal to style-conscious customers who
want a sporty SUV but don’t mind sacrificing interior space. Based
on the X1, the lower, shorter X2 feels more like driving a car than an
SUV. Its gutsy 228-hp, turbocharged four-cylinder engine is mated to
a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. Front- and all-
wheel drive are available. The ride is a bit stiff, but handling is sharp
and engaging, making the X2 enjoyable to drive. The cabin is well
made if a bit austere, with comfortable front seats and logical controls.
Outward visibility and rear seat room are hurt by the sleek styling.
Safety features such as forward collision warning, city-speed automat-
ic emergency braking, and lane departure warning are standard for- An M35i performance version with 302 hp is new for 2019.

BMW X1
The X1 relies on a platform shared with the Mini Cooper Clubman and
Countryman, and available in front- and all-wheel-drive versions. In
our tests of the AWD X1, the responsive 228-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged
four-cylinder engine returned 26 mpg overall. With the X1’s relatively
low ride height, it feels almost like driving a sedan. Although capable
and responsive, ride and handling aren’t up to BMW’s high standards.
Road noise is rather noticeable. The interior is constructed with high-
quality materials and switches, buttons, and knobs. The front seats
are rather short and f lat, however, and rear-seat passengers hit their
shins against the backs of the front seats. Safety features such as for-
ward collision warning, city-speed automatic emergency braking, and
lane departure warning are standard.
