The X2 is for those who want a splash of style in a compact package, but aren't afraid of a few quirks.
Sporty handling, quick acceleration · Distinctive coupe-like styling
Turbo lag in quick acceleration · Limited rear headroom and visibility
The 2026 BMW X2 is a bold statement in the subcompact SUV segment, with its coupe-like roofline and distinct styling that sets it apart from the usual suspects. We were pleasantly surprised by its sporty handling and quick acceleration, making it more of a driver's car than a typical crossover. However, the turbo lag might catch you off guard when you need that burst of speed, and the rear headroom is compromised by its daring design. If you crave a vehicle that stands out and can handle a winding canyon road with aplomb, the X2 is worth a look, though families might find the cargo and passenger space a bit tight.
Our pick: xDrive28i ($44,025)
vs. Mercedes-Benz C-Class: The X2 edges out the C-Class in terms of distinctive styling and sporty handling, but the Benz offers a more traditional luxury experience with better rear space.
