All-new BMW X2 Review - How does this FWD 3-cylinder compare to its rivals?

- The BMW X2 is certainly a niche model in SA; never selling in huge numbers. Will the second generation X2 change that, or will it remain a niche player?
In 2016, BMW decided there was a gap that needed filling between the X1 and X3, debuting the X2 at the Paris Motor Show and commencing sales in 2018. The first generation was more of a hatchback than SUV, and judging by the fact there are only around 40 listed on our site, the South African buying public stuck to the X1 or perhaps sought out models from BMW's rivals.
With the latest BMW X2, the Bavarian brand has opted for radically different styling from the first generation; the car has grown in every dimension and now looks far more like a coupé SUV, which is something BMW arguably invented many moons ago with the X6.
In this review, Ciro De Siena takes us on a walkaround tour of the new X2, covering the price, variants available, boot space, interior, engine and drive characteristics of the newcomer.

![2024 BMW 5 Series: New luxury sedan is now BMW's best car? [Review & Test Drive] 🇿🇦](/img/n.gif)
Jacob and Ash are great presenters but Ciro's dry humour is unbeatable 😂
welcome back Ciro we missed you
Many thanks 🙏🙏
Agreed,Ciro is the best car journalist!!!
Almost 1m for 115kW? What are these luxury brands doing? They're literally just selling the badge at this point.
That is how "premium" brands have always operated. Charge a fortune for an extremely average car just because of the symbol stuck on the front.
Something must be holding the badge up, it would fall on the road without the rest of it !
I know this new X2 is supposed to move me from a visual perspective but I still like the older one more.. I even appreciate the auxiliary exhaust tail pieces and the instrument cluster. This new one is modern and high tech with amazing customization and high resolution but I love the previous generation just fine with all my physical buttons. Anyways that's just my opinion please don't rip me apart with comments saying that I'm an old man who battles to keep up with the times. Great review!
Welcome Back Ciro, you were missed. Thank you for the great review.
Welcome back buddy! It's great to have you back
Too expensive
BMW = Bring My Wallet 😂
The main character is back 😂💯
Costs way too much. Approaching a million rand optioned out and you have a 3 cylinder engine and 115kW. Yuck.
Give me a Audi Q3 Sportback please.
Thank you... You're back 😊
Loving the subtle shots of the E39 M5 in the background
The price is delusional to say the least
The price , I would rather invest
Welcome back! I thought the interior looked a bit drab in here, especially for just under R1m! Mercedes have been making classier looking interiors for awhile
Mercedes interiors are more style than substance..
@@sillimilli3802 I hear you, but this bmw interior seems to lack anything at all, it just feels like a sad place to be. It seems to be the trend though, everything is in the screen
That rear is honestly hideous. Who keeps signing off these designs at BMW??😭
Love the M5 in the background !!!
A BMW that doesn't look hideous. I was starting to think they'd gone extinct
It looks good
Sort of missed these studio reviews. Please bring back the white background
This is my car❤
Was that middle belt on the ceiling?
Yes that’s where it’s always been, where else would it go with folding seats ?
this is pure branding, most definitely the 18i will not have sales than M35i but its a nice car though ..the engine/price they missed it on X2.
Please do the BYD Dolphin and Atto 3 😁
A nice video would be a side by side by side review of this car, the Beijing X55, tiggo 7, jolion. This car cost double of those.. Is it worth it? But has the same specs, if not less.. Ie. Beijing has 130kw with 305 torque.
I can't even defend the BMW by arguing it is a better long term ownership prospect. Their cars aren't the best to own outside warranty
It's a BMW...NOT a cheap & Chinese...you're clearly not target market. The target market would not even REMOTELY consider cheap & chinese😂😂😂
Yep, but the x55 would leave this car in the dust....... And has genuine leather ventilated AMG seats...i love BMW, my last car was a BMW. But it's just not value for money as this video clearly shows. I guess the target market are people looking for a good badge not a good car.
@@nigelnaicker7948you’ve got to be able to afford to drive it to appreciate it
Like this format as well mate, X2 the question is why, just invest in the X1 and make that better, now two models that hangs for one another. 15L three cylinder, had the rewind and listen again, not making sense for that price. Hey but BMW will always be Sheer Driving Pleasure.
It certainly would be with a 15 litre engine
The rear-seats-headroom is/was better in the previous X2 version despite the car being small in all dimensions.
Very nice package overall, but dear Lord that rear is ugly🫣
What’s wrong with it ?
Still don't know what's going on with those rear brake lights
looks like the send gen Sportage at the back or Iron's mask closed
Sies
U were very critical of the cx30 which has 4 cylinder and has more power 🤔🤔🤔yah neh
The rear looks funny
Personally I'd say H6 GT is also some sort of a rival or this is a souped up version of H6GT IN MY EYES.
It looks Like a small aggressive X6
Any particular reason why y’all didn’t film a proper driving scene, instead of showing us European videos?
3 series at this point, seems like a bargain.
I want to see how many of these are going to sell in SA. Value proposition wise, this is way tos expensive, the X1 is was prettier compared to this.
Reliability issues in the waiting...and the 800k price you pay for a 3cyl
Don't buy it. Lease/hire for 3-5yrs max
The rear looks like the car had a bbl.
Isn't X1 more practical and specious than this X2?
It is
BMWs prices lately are ridiculous
Gents let's be honest the rear is fugly
Is there no competition from Lexus in this class. Normally a Lexus comes with every thing.
But not with a stupid 3 cylinder engine 🤭🙄 A Lexus is ten times better value for money than this money pit rubbish.
@@labourlawact7826 I agree.
Maybe the Lexus UX, that car is similar to this I think. NX is also kinda there, but price wise is more expensive.
A Renault Captur is 113kw and 270nm 😢
That rear view though 🙁
Rear is bad bad
A three cylindered SUV with front wheel drive, will never be a BMW...
How wrong can you be ?
100%
that back is absolutely horrendous
More than 800k starting for a 1.5 three cylinder. That will drop in value very quick like all bmw’s do. No thanks
Oh and then you add 100 or 200k worth of extras that you don’t get back when you sell
Ugly AF. BMW lost the marbles in the exterior design .
3 cylinder 😢 really disappointing
Go buy yourself a Fronx and save R500k 🤷♂️😂
People buying this aren't after value I think. They likely want prestige, nicer interior, ride, etc.
Why this BMW has hips?😂😂
Electronic recliner should be standard it's 2024 why do people have to pay extra for it BMW can learn from the Chinese 💀
Ridiculously expensive
Ungly
the back is giving Chinese design
Looks like a Kia from the back👎🏻
BMW is clearly copying the front from Kia and the rear is a jaguar copy cat. They are making cars crappp cars for high prices 😂
Too ugly... The old one was much better.. They should've face-lifted it.. Instead of creating this car.
ugly, overpriced the previous car is way better
This is the ugliest bmw, they had one of the awesome interiors but this looks really bad. Definitely not worth the money.
