Equipment and handling

Out on the road, the BMW X2 offers impeccable road manners with responsive engines, tight grip and cornering at speed. It's a nice car to drive around town and it eats motorway miles to deliver occupants at their destination without feeling tired. There's a lot of equipment including a 6.5-inch touchscreen with satnav which is easy and quick to access for the vehicle's important information. There's also smartphone connectivity and the option of the firm's full-colour head-up display and a technology pack that will display the satnav information onto the windscreen in high resolution. Another option is for a Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless charging and there's a lot of driver assistance systems on board. The camera-based systems help keep the car and its occupants safe and features speed limit info, lane departure warning and anti-dazzle high beam assistant. There's also a collision warning system which features pedestrian and obstacle detection and city braking function. The interior has been well-designed and is made with quality materials so has a plush feel, and it's a nice place to spend time. Essentially, the BMW X2 is a polished offering and it's a small SUV that delivers a fun and enjoyable drive - but it's also one that stands out from an increasingly competitive marketplace, with space and equipment to make it a sound choice.
