New BMW X2 SUV 2018 review

We deliver our verdict on the BMW X1-based X2 SUV ahead of its imminent arrival in UK showrooms
Premium SUVs are one of the car industry’s biggest cash cows at the moment, which explains why the German ‘big three’ appear to be so obsessed with them. Mercedes has no less than seven SUVs in its range, with Audi and BMW not far behind – and all three have more on the way in the next 12 months.

With the choice of conventional SUVs on the market already pretty saturated, this trio of brands is turning to the coupé-SUV niche – providing high-riding cars with more svelte designs to appeal to a younger audience. And that’s where BMW’s latest model, the X2, comes in. We’ve driven the car on European roads for the first time ahead of its launch in UK dealers in the next few months.As with BMW’s traditional ‘Series’ range, the X line-up uses odd numbers for the more conventional, practical bodystyles (such as the X1 and X3) and even numbers for sportier, coupé-like variants. The X2, then, is a smaller sibling of the X4 and X6, aiming to conquer the more fashion-focused end of the small crossover market alongside cars such as the Mercedes GLA.The styling is sure to divide opinion, but we can’t deny it has plenty of presence. It’s actually slightly smaller than the X1, with shorter overhangs, a small glasshouse and a 70mm lower roofline giving it a rakish, muscular look.

Brighter colours, such as the Galvanic Gold of our test model, also help to add the personality needed in this marketplace. It’s been watered down only slightly from the concept first seen at 2016’s Paris Motor Show, transferring over retro details such as the BMW logo mounted on the C-pillar.
