The first generation F39-series BMW X2 represented more than just another box ticked in its maker's X-model product development plan: it aimed to re-define the kind of drive dynamics buyers could expect a compact SUV to deliver. And so do with more style and flair than the Munich maker had previously been able to offer to crossover buyers in the lower levels of its line-up.
History
BMW pioneered the idea of sporty, coupe-like SUV models and the Munich maker has long offered the widest choice when it comes to this kind of crossover. Starting with this youthful offering, the X2, launched in first generation F39 form in 2018.
If you know BMW's line-up from this period, you might recognise it as a 'sporty' take on the company's best selling SUV, the F48-series X1. Just as the X4 is the sporty version of the X3 and the X6 a more dynamic take on the X5. A niche product it may have been but this original X2 was very much needed by its brand. By 2018, the X1 was popular with company folk and families, but it wasn't interesting too many of the fashionistas flocking to more overtly-styled cars in this class like Jaguar's E-PACE, the Range Rover Evoque and Volvo's XC40. This, that X1 model's trendier sibling, targeted these people far more precisely.

IT’s March 2024 now and I’ve never seen one of these on the road! I’m not surprised tho as everything you need for safety comes in an optional pack which is not good these days!! Get any other midrange suv like a Kia or a Tiguan and you get great safety like automatic cruise control, blindspot monitoring Parkassist etc as stranded. I’ve had BMW’s as my last three cars but now I would rather have a Tiguan r-line over this x2 or the x1 .. BMW, Audi are just not worth the money when you consider you get no safety features. I’d much rather my family we’re traveling in a much safer car like the Tiguan r-line or Kia niro..
