In terms of technology, the standard 8.8-inch touchscreen display was newly introduced for the 2020 model year, integrating BMW's latest infotainment system complete with smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and in some cases, Android Auto compatibility as well.

Despite not having undergone crash testing by the NHTSA, the X2’s safety profile is bolstered by its IIHS Top Safety Pick recognition. However, potential buyers should be aware that blind spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert are not standard features and may need to be added as optional extras.
For those prioritizing space, the X2 offers competitive cargo capacity along with more generous front headroom and rear legroom compared to other vehicles within its segment. Its practicality combined with its distinctively sporty design and engaging handling make it a compelling choice in the subcompact luxury SUV market.
When considering purchasing a used X2, customers can expect similar styling and feature sets across the 2018 to 2020 model years, providing assurance that even a pre-owned model will still offer many contemporary features without compromise.
