5 reasons to buy the 2018 BMW X2

1.  An engine with oomph  

The 2018 BMW X2 may be subcompact in size, but its engine will leave similarly-sized rivals in the dust. The 2.0L turbocharged engine delivers 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, transforming your daily commute into a joy ride. Find an X2 with the optional M Sport package for a sport-tuned transmission, aerodynamic body kit, and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters to amp up the fun.  

2. Filled with features 

Step into the 2018 X2, and you'll immediately notice that this is no typical SUV. Tap the memory settings on your seat so you'll never have to adjust your seat angle again. Grip the leather-wrapped steering wheel as you tap the push-button ignition to get your X2 ready to go. With so many standard features, the X2 proves that what's on the inside truly does matter.   

3. Luxury on demand  

Shop for a 2018 X2 with an available panoramic sunroof to make your daily drive a little brighter. If you need more, look for an X2 with available adaptive cruise control and leather seats for the ultimate luxury ride. With all of the standard and available luxuries in the X2, there's bound to be a trim that suits your needs.  

4. Traction any way you want it 

The BMW X2 is a driver's SUV, putting you in command of the road. Choose the sDrive28i version with front-wheel drive with agile handling, or shop for the all-wheel drive xDrive28i trim. The all-wheel-drive system transfers power to the wheels that need it most, giving you an effortless driving experience no matter the weather.  

5. Technology at every turn  

Add more fun to your ride with the X2's standard technologies, including Bluetooth® connectivity, a 6.5-inch touchscreen display, and hands-free calling. Get even more tech by shopping for an X2 with available Apple CarPlay® connectivity and wireless smartphone charging. There's also a standard USB port, meaning you'll always stay connected.
