“It's pretty small. There is a lot to learn as far as all of the controls and features. It doesn't have blind spot monitoring, which seems odd.”
2022 BMW X2: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2022 BMW X2 is largely a carryover, with Park Assist moving from standard equipment to an optional feature. Its three-trim lineup, engines, styling, and cabin otherwise return without major changes.
About the 2022 BMW X2
1st generation X2 (F39, 2018-2023), late-cycle year before the final 2023 model year and the all-new 2024 redesign.
BMW positions the X2 as the more expressive, style-first alternative to the boxier X1. The point of the X2 is not maximum cargo room; it is a smaller SUV with a lower roofline, a more athletic look, and sharper road manners. BMW’s messaging around the X2 leans on youthful, urban, sporty character, so most shoppers choose it for its design and handling feel rather than for family-hauling practicality.
The sDrive28i is the style-focused daily driver, with a 228-hp turbo engine, LED headlights, a power liftgate, and parking sensors. The xDrive28i adds all-wheel drive, while the performance-focused M35i brings a 301-hp engine, firmer suspension, stronger brakes, and a limited-slip differential for better traction when accelerating.

“Love, love, love the vehicle. Love the look, features, speed. Feel like a millionaire driving this vehicle.”
“Love the car but can be bumpy, noisy and a bit squished feeling inside. Can be difficult to see out, wish the back end and blind spot area was easier to look out of but I use the camera a lot which is fine.”
