2018 BMW X2 can't figure out if it's a crossover or a hatchback
No matter what it is, it's easy on the eyes and loaded with the latest tech.
The 2018 BMW X2 is the latest crossover to join BMW's fold, and its proportions are just right.
It sports the same wheelbase as the also-small X1, but the body is 3.2 inches shorter and 2.8 inches lower.
At launch, just one engine will be available -- a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 putting out 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.
An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard, as is all-wheel drive.
If you want an extra dose of sport, there's an optional M Sport X package.
BMW Connected+ offers first- and last-mile navigation when you aren't in the car, integrating your smartphone or wearable device into BMW's little ecosystem.
In terms of safety technology, optional packages can kit the X2 out with lane departure warning, automatic high beams, automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning.
There's a gauge screen in front of the driver that appears to be completely empty when the car's off, a "floating" type infotainment screen on the dashboard and actual physical switchgear for the climate controls and radio.
The rear seats have a 40/20/40 split, and anywhere between one and all three sections can lower, increasing cargo capacity.
The 2018 BMW X2 goes on sale this spring, and pricing will be announced closer to that time.
