What are the features and disadvantages of this small SUV?


For this new generation, the BMW X2 has undergone a bit of a revolution. Bigger, more stylish… and above all sportier in the M35i version. What are its main characteristics?

BMW X2 has claimed! With this new generation, the BMW compact SUV takes on even more of an SUV Coupé appearance. Its style becomes sharp and sporty, especially in the M35i version, with its small capacity of 300 horses 4 cylinders!
And we’re not even talking about the appearance of the version we tested, with its bright apple green. It is time to examine its main features and faults.

Key features of the new X2

In terms of characteristics, the new BMW SUV can boast of good performance. With 0 to 100 km / h in just 5.4 seconds, and a top speed of 250 km / h, the technical sheet is great! And those shows are there.
More than any other offering on the list, which should be satisfied with the small “3 legs” of only 170 horses. 400 Nm of torque also provides a good boost. Otherwise, still in the attribute section, we see the general behavior. There is no suspension, but adaptive.
In other words, The behavior of the X2 M35i changes depending on the driving conditions or the road. And this, without any electronic support. In general, on this version of the BMW SUV-Coupé (or SAC as the Propeller company calls them), The character is well designed.
Rather firm, but acceptable according to our tester.
However, there are body movements for a car weighing around 1800 kg to maintain. Finally, the last big step of this new X2, its practical features. Storage, trunk, passenger space… Everything is green! As a tested model body.

Major faults of this SUV

Obviously, the first fault of the latest generation BMW X2 is its price. Especially in the M35i version. You must pay 64,000 euros at least. But the model tested by our colleague costs 94,000 euros, including the ecological penalty.
This is between 13,000 and 22,380 euros depending on the options chosen. Otherwise, and this is directly related to the price, This is the standard equipment that is missing from the new X2. For example, charging phones with wireless phones or electric chairs is not common, even on the highest version. So, you have to go through the list of options and check a few more boxes… And so add a check!
For example, the tested M35i model saw its bill increase by 13,000 euros in options. Wow! Ultimately, it remains a driving habit that can be frustrating. We especially regret the excessive balance and the soundtrack being too clever.

Fortunately, the noise amplifier and speaker broadcasts have been the subject of excellent development. A brief rumor and report that some of your colleagues have allowed themselves to be ensnared by this device. But six-cylinder “35i” purists will still have a lot of trouble with this X2 M35i.
