BMW keeps things fresh in 2024 with the redesign of its second-generation X2 xDrive 28i. If the luxury subcompact crossover segment is in your sights, this may be the one to consider thanks to its muscular, head-turning looks; more spacious cabin; muscle-flexing powertrain; all-wheel drive becoming standard; implementation of the new iDrive 9 operating system; and addition of numerous packages to pamper passengers to the fullest. Our review car thankfully had it all.
Dressed in the optional Storm Bay Metallic—an attractive blue-grey fusion—the exterior is also adorned with the highly recommended M Sport Package, adding 19-inch, double-spoke bi-color wheels, caliper brakes, and extended “Shadowline” exterior trim.
The numerous package enhancements continue under the hood and throughout the cabin as well.
Inside, the X2 delivers a refined cabin filled with high-quality appointments, such as SensaTec dashboard, M Sport seats (Mocha Perforated Veganza), and Aluminum Hexa trim with ambient lighting to create an upscale atmosphere. The steering wheel and front seats are also heated to ensure comfort, while the Premium Package adds power-folding mirrors, acoustic glass, interior camera, BMW digital key, wireless charging, a panoramic sky roof, and BMW Digital Key Plus which allows for easy access and remote engine start.
Technology continues to get a lot of attention with BMW’s Live Cockpit Pro, which delivers a head-up display (HUD), plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to help operate the premium Harman/Kardon premium sound system, making every trip a live concert. The vibrant 10.7-inch digital instrument display and 10.25-inch touchscreen set in a curved display are easier to operate as well thanks to the implementation of the user-friendly iDrive 9 infotainment system, complete with an intelligent personal assistant to further ease the driving experience. Safety features are also generous, including Traffic Jam Assistant, Active Lane Assist with Side Collision Avoidance, and Active Park Distance Control.
Ultimately, the 2024 BMW X2 xDrive 28i blends sporty dynamics, luxury, and cutting-edge technology into a standout compact SUV boasting fantastic value starting at $42K. Now that’s hard to beat in this segment.
Fuel Economy: 24 city/33 highway/28 combined
Price: The 2024 BMW X2 xDrive28i starts at $42,000 MSRP, and reviewed at $52,745 including the optional packages (Driving Assistance, M Sport, Premium), handling, processing, and delivery as reviewed.
