Pros & cons

BMW X2 sDrive18d

Efficient for its class at 4.8 L/100 km
Five seats and a 470 L trunk suit growing families
Relaxed highway driving from 350 Nm diesel torque
Strong safety standing in its segment
Not for performance seekers; 0–100 km/h in 8.7 s and 150 hp are modest
RWD only in this variant, so no all-wheel-drive traction
Cargo room is fine for daily use but not ideal for bulky loads
Diesel powertrain won’t suit buyers seeking electrified options

Efficient for its class at 6.2 L/100 km, helping keep running costs in check
5-seat SUV with a 540 L boot fits growing-family needs and weekend luggage
Highway-capable performance (0-100 km/h in 7.7 s, 225 km/h top speed) for confident trips
Priced at 35,000, it offers good value in its segment
You want punchier acceleration; 156 hp and 7.7 s 0-100 km/h are only mid-pack
You need all-wheel drive or light off-road traction; this is rear-wheel drive
You frequently haul bulky cargo; despite 540 L, it is not aimed at cargo-heavy use
You prefer hybrid or electric options; gasoline-only with no electric range
