The 2024 BMW X2 M35i returns with a bold, sporty design and impressive technical advancements, vying for attention in the competitive SUV landscape. With its enhanced powertrain and sleek new look, the X2 M35i strives to blend performance with luxury, though it doesn’t quite master every aspect of its design.
Powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine, the X2 M35i churns out 312 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system. The finely tuned suspension and sharp steering make for an agile driving experience, especially for those who enjoy spirited driving. However, the transmission occasionally hesitates at low speeds, and the stop/start function lacks the smoothness expected from a vehicle in this class.
The Sportback design is a standout feature, adding an aggressive edge to the X2’s profile. However, reactions to the styling have been mixed. Some praise its dynamic aesthetic, while others feel the design has lost some of the charm of the previous generation. Inside, the X2 maintains BMW’s reputation for premium materials and craftsmanship, though the cabin design closely mirrors other models in BMW’s lineup, leaving it feeling less unique.
Despite some technical quirks, the 2024 X2 M35i offers an exhilarating driving experience, ideal for those seeking a balance of sportiness and luxury. While it impresses in many areas, there’s room for refinement to make it an undisputed top contender in its class.
