BMW's ever-growing SUV family welcomed its sixth
member at thee end of last year, the X2, which is a sportier take on the X1. Slotting
under the X6 and X4, albeit with a different roofline, it features a funkier
than usual design for a BMW, and it can also be had with black plastic cladding
on certain models.
All versions of the car are well equipped, including
the entry-level, which gets 18-inch alloy wheels, leatherette seats, climate
control, 7-speaker audio, and infotainment system, carrying a starting price of US$ 39,395 with the US$ 995 destination charge.
The most affordable BMW X2 is US$ 2,500 pricier than an
equivalent X1, and it carries a US$ 3,000 premium over a Mercedes-Benz GLA 250
4Matic. However, compared to the larger X4, it's US$ 9,200 more affordable.
Play with the online configurator, available here,
for a few minutes like we did, and you'll eventually see the MSRP of the BMW X2
reaching over US$ 50,000. That's more than the larger X3 and X4, and it approaches
the price of the new X5, which starts from US$ 56,600 in the States.
