It has technology that is now expected: Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The BMW X2 has exceptional horsepower for its class, packing substantial oomph. With optional all-wheel drive (AWD), it can easily bypass mud and snow. BMW offers a 4-year, 50,000-mile basic/powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2021 BMW X2 has a score of 79, implying a 0.043% chance of driver death (3.9% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2021 BMW X2 has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0432% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 4.928%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0432% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 4.928% chance of being injured.
