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

X4 xDrive20i

Efficient for its class (6.6 combined consumption) helps keep running costs in check
AWD traction supports winter driving and mixed weather
525-liter trunk and five seats work for growing families and road trips
Good value in its segment around 45,000 given AWD and practicality
Modest performance: 204 hp and 0–100 km/h in 7.7 s won’t thrill enthusiasts
525-liter cargo area may be tight for cargo-heavy use or bulky gear
Seats five only; no third-row option for larger families
Gasoline-only powertrain with no hybrid or EV variant for maximum efficiency
