The vehicles that make up the BMW X lineup have many similar characteristics. They are vehicles that balance space, style, power, and performance to give you a well-rounded vehicle for all sorts of travels planned throughout the Arlington, Grand Prairie, and Fort Worth, Texas, areas.
Two models known for their sleek and compact design among the BMW X Series vehicles are the BMW X1 and BMW X2. Which one though is suited best for you? Join our BMW of Arlington team below to take a closer look at the BMW X2 vs. X1 to find out.
Since both are BMW vehicles, it is no surprise that they offer exceptional comfort for you and your passengers with their various premium features. Both come standard with SensaTec upholstery, Multi-zone Climate Control, and power front seats.
They also both offer room for five passengers. Legroom is almost identical upfront in both models, with the X1 also having 37 inches of legroom in the back. The rear seats of the X2 have 36.7 inches of legroom.
When it comes to cargo, each model allows you to pack up supplies in the back and even fold down the rear seats to create more space for gear. Within the BMW X1, there is up to 58.7 cubic feet of cargo volume. Meanwhile, the BMW X2 has a maximum of 50.1 cubic feet of cargo volume.
These two models come with an identical powertrain. That is the 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder engine and 8-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission with Sport and Manual shift modes. This combination produces 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque in both vehicles for quick acceleration.
Plus, they also efficiently use fuel to help you make fewer stops at the gas station. The BMW X2 even comes with Brake Energy Regeneration. By being able to feed kinetic energy when braking to the battery, less engine power will be needed to charge the battery. This results in less fuel needing to be used as you drive.
There are also many similar technology systems in both BMW models. That includes their advanced safety systems as well as their standard 8.8-inch center displays that give you access to infotainment, navigation, and more.
In the BMW X1, you can listen to your favorite songs through its 7-speaker audio system. Inside the BMW X2, there is a 10-speaker audio system for a sound-surround experience. You’ll also get a 1-year subscription to SiriusXM® Satellite Radio with the X1, which features a variety of commercial-free music channels and sports radio.
The pick between the BMW X2 vs. X1 will ultimately come down to what you prefer. If you want as much space for cargo as possible, the X1 would be best for you. If you’d rather have an agile and highly efficient vehicle, you’ll enjoy having the X2.
