We analyzed 19 BMW X2 reviews - along with hard data like fuel economy estimates and interior dimensions - to help you decide if the 2019 X2 is the right new car for you. By the way, you can get all 2019 BMW X1 package and individual option pricing right here at CarCostCanada, as well as valuable rebate info and dealer invoice pricing that could save you thousands. The X2 can hit 0 to 62 MPH in 7.7 seconds. X2 should hit the dealerships in the spring of 2019. The main opponents that will rival new 2019 BMW X2 are Mercedes-Benz GLA, Nissan Juke, Audi Q2 and Volvo XC40. If we don’t count Mini’s Countryman, the BMW X1 was the first subcompact luxury crossover SUV to hit the market. You can also check out all of the above for any SUV mentioned in this review, such as the Mercedes GLA-Class, Lexus UX, Audi Q3, Range Rover Evoque, BMW X2, Volvo XC40, Jaguar E-Pace, Infiniti QX30, Mini Countryman, and even the Buick Encore. Impressive sales growth in 2016 and 2017 backed up the German automaker’s decision to take the little X1 in its more comfort-oriented direction, and while those numbers slipped slightly in 2018 and so far this year, I’m guessing it has more to do with the brand’s introduction of the new X2 than any lack of X1 interest, while even more importantly the X1 remains number one amongst true subcompact luxury SUVs, even when not factoring in the new X2.
Still, 10,637 Encores sold in 2018 and 8,322 as of October 31, 2019 is nothing to sneeze at, especially when considering BMW leads the category with 5,308 customers in 2018 and 3,753 so far in 2019. Factoring in the X1’s base price of $41,500, mind you, shows the comparison is hardly fair. Speaking of German strength, BMW shows just how dominant it is in this segment when we combine the sales of both X1 and X2 models, which have accumulated to 4,912 deliveries so far this year, and that’s even before including 2,082 Countryman sales (Mini is a BMW subsidiary after all), which increases sales to 6,994 units. This said, Buick’s done well with its Encore, and while positioned at the lowest end of premium when it comes to price and prestige, an upcoming second-generation Encore, expected this coming year, could do even better. It comes with fuel tank capacity 16.1 gallons.
Where that Buick is a heavily massaged Chevrolet Trax that’s stingy on fuel and reasonably generous with features, albeit not so much when it comes to performance or refinement, and BMW offers strong performance along with some of the best quality, refinement and functionality in the class. This is also the best and the fastest version of the X2. The all-wheel-drive M35i has an upgraded version of this engine that produces 301 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque. The sDrive18d will use 2.0-liter fou engine that delivers148 horses and 243 pound-feet. The gas model will use a 2.0-liter engine with 190 HP. It has a 302-horsepower variant of the base engine and standard all-wheel drive. BMW doesn’t offer a bunch of different trims for the X2, but the all-wheel drive xDrive model bumps the price up by $2,000 to $39,395. The all-new 2019 BMW X2 starts at $31,000. The 2019 BMW X2 sDrive28i starts at $36,400. If you're already used to using touch screens in cars, you will appreciate that BMW is now bringing that capability to its infotainment systems. One of the X2’s biggest highlights is its iDrive infotainment system. The BMW X1 was one of the first luxury subcompact SUVs on the market, and it still stands head and shoulders above its newer sibling.
Interestingly, it would take an additional three years for Audi to arrive in Canada with its Q3 and Mercedes to enter its GLA-Class, unless we’re counting the much less expensive Buick Encore that showed up in 2013 (but we probably shouldn’t), plus another two years for Infiniti to ante up its QX30 (RIP), an additional three for the Jaguar E-Pace and Volvo XC40, and plus BMW’s sportier X2, and finally one more year for the new Lexus UX. As for Infiniti’s now cancelled QX30, 93 deliveries doesn’t represent how good this little SUV was, but more accurately tells a story of luxury brand weakness when compared to the strength of Lexus, plus of course the Germans. Volvo’s XC40 did quite well for an all-new model at 1,690 units, and Land Rover’s recently redone Range Rover Evoque should be commended for its 1,333 new customers due to its higher than average price, but we really need to laud BMW for finding another 1,159 clients for its segment-busting X2, which did even better than Jaguar’s new E-Pace at only 372 deliveries. That’s almost as much as you get when adding up all Mercedes GLA, Lexus UX and Audi Q3 deliveries over the same period, which resulted in just 7,698 sales.
