Luxury Index In The 2019 BMW X2

BMW is a brand name that stays ahead of the rest of automakers because of quality and style it combines in each of its model. Hence, it will be of no surprise that the new 2019 X2 will be of no exception to this rule. Stylish and sporty, the 2019 BMW X2 makes one of the best choices among the segment of small crossovers that has made a higher aim this year to build up a performance version that will match the styling excellence.

Engine Power

When we paid a visit at the auto dealership near San Luis Obispo, the sales team serving at the dealership showed us with full enthusiasm, the entire lineup of the 2019 BMW X2, and that included things that were installed under the hood as well.

The entire lineup of the 2019 BMW X2 rolls on a 2.0-liter turbo-4 engine that is particularly paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission to make 228 of horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This is quite a good record for a crossover that can sprint up to a speed of 60 mph in 6.3-seconds.

The Luxury Index

There is no compromise for the availability of any luxury feature once you get inside the 2019 X2 model from the BMW brand. Right from the amount of space allotted for every passenger, to the comfort and convenience features like Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, even the Base models of the 2019 year model of BMW X2 provides a coach that is equipped with a 6.5-inch touchscreen display on the infotainment front, provide soft touch synthetic leather upholstery for all the car occupants, and for the front seat occupants the luxury of sports seats. Integrity and compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are offered free for the first year from the BMW to its customers, and after that at a subscription rate of $80 the facility can be further availed.

Rear Seat Comfort

In back, the X2 offers 36.7 inches of rear seat leg room that feels more cramped than the tale of the tape suggests. The sloped roofline doesn’t cut too far into head room, but we’ve had issues with folding long legs into the rear. Two adults won’t rub shoulders in the second row, but we’d stop short of plugging three people in the back—at least three people we like, anyhow.

The 2019 edition of the X2 model however gets shorter by 3.2 inches measuring the distance between one bumper to the other, in comparison to the X1 series. This has naturally cut down the measurement of the available cargo room as well that now counts 21.6 cubic feet from the earlier 27 cubes that could be found in the in the X1 models.

At the SLO auto dealership, where we booked our first test drive with the 2019 edition of the BMW X2 model, we appreciated the luxury standards maintained in the cabin through heated front seats along with a heated steering wheel that can be ordered for a price of $550. For those who are looking for a yet more lavish convenience package, BMW offers them the same that adds up keyless ignition, satellite radio,  lumbar support, and a panoramic moonroof to enhance the luxury index in this compact crossover from BMW.
