BMW’s sedans and SUVs regularly earn CR’s recommendations for packing industry-leading comfort and technology into vehicles that are agile, quick, and even fuel efficient. Among luxury brands like Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Lincoln, and Land Rover, BMW’s SUVs often rank near the top of their category. Models like the X5 are remarkable for having powertrains that accelerate quickly while also managing above-average fuel efficiency. Some BMWs can be bought as plug-in hybrids, with useful electric-only range, or in performance trims, with more powerful engines and stiffer suspensions. BMW’s growing roster of EVs also generally rank high in our tests. Like most luxury cars from European manufacturers, BMWs fall on the expensive side of our assessments of maintenance and repair costs, but some specific models are a good option to buy used. However, shoppers considering a preowned BMW should opt for warranties or budget for repairs.
The BMW X2 is designed to appeal to style-conscious customers who want a sporty-looking 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 power comes from a gutsy 228-hp, turbocharged four-cylinder engine that's mated to a smooth 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 is hurt by the sleek styling. A sporty M35i version with 302 horsepower and standard all-wheel-drive arrived for 2019. Advanced safety features such as forward collision warning (FCW) and city-speed automatic emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection became standard on 2019 models. For 2020, the X2 got a new electronic gear selector. The X2 is in hiatus for 2023.
