The BMW X2, BMW’s entrance into the subcompact luxury SUV market, has garnered a lot of attention
for its sporty persona since its release. BMW has taken great effort to build a car that fulfills both the sports car persona and family vehicle persona. Here are six essential features of the 2021 BMW X2.
6 Essential Features of the 2021 BMW X2
1. Three Trims
BMW’s latest X2 comes in three trims and each brings performance and style increases. The standard sDrive 28i, the mid-level XDrive28i, and the top-level M35i all present comfortable rides in sporty styles that will grab attention no matter where you go. The xDrive28i and the M35i have a slightly lower suspension, giving the vehicle a sportier feel.
2. Engine Performance
BMW’s X2 standard model comes with a 2.0L turbo engine and gives 258 lb-ft of torque and 228 horsepower, while the M35i’s engine deals out 331 lb-ft of torque and 301 horsepower. Both AWD and FWD drivetrains are available, and every trim comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The suspension and handling give a smooth ride with the damper control and 19-inch wheels.
3. Safety
Even the base-model X2 is decked out for safety. Coming standard, the X2 includes a rearview camera and front and rear park distance control. The Drivers Assist package contains a forward-collision warning system, a lane departure warning system, and a parking assistant that integrates with the rearview camera. For additional fees, a speed limit monitor can be added along with a heads-up display.
4. Space
Space is plentiful in the X2. With all seats up the cargo space offers 21.5 cubic feet of storage, while with seats folded down, you gain an extra 30 cubic feet of storage. The interior of the vehicle offers small side compartments and two beverage holders come standard in the center console.
5. Interior Design
The attention-grabbing interior is well-laid out. The instruments are analog but there is a touchscreen located in the center console for navigation and camera views. The screen size of the touchscreen can come in a 6.5-inch screen, right up to a 10.25-inch screen. Controls are tactile and very responsive. As an upgrade, a heated steering wheel and heated seating can be chosen.
Seating can be chosen in a range of designs including contrasting colors, so you can feel like a speed racer behind the wheel. Seats can be chosen in cloth, or leather for an additional price. 5 seats are included, two front and a three-seat bench in the back. The front seats have an eight-way power controller, and the M35i top-level model has 12-way power seats.
6. Infotainment
The center console touchscreen contains access to BMW’s Drive system. Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth is standard, along with a Harman Kardon sound system and navigation. All models come with automatic climate control, a powered tailgate, and a push-button start. A wireless charging pad is optional, along with keyless entry and a large sunroof.
