BMW X2 review - Practicality & boot space
While many coupe SUVs heavily compromise on practicality, the BMW X2 is still very usable
The BMW X2 has grown in size slightly compared with the old model, but that extra space has been put to good use. Rear legroom isn’t as cramped as you might expect, although the downside is that the coupe roofline of the latest model does rob the car of a little headroom, which might be an issue for taller occupants.

Does the BMW X2 have a big boot?
The BMW X2 boasts a fairly large boot at 560 litres, beating that of the Audi Q3 Sportback by 30 litres with its seats up, while the Cupra Formentor trails far behind with just 450 litres of boot space. Fold the seats down and the BMW X2 even frees up a total of 1,470 litres of space, so it should be fairly usable if you need to transport the occasional larger item. There are some useful hooks for shopping bags at the sides of the boot, as well as a false floor which creates a flat load space to easily place heavier items when you need it, or can be lowered to free up additional capacity if necessary.

Is the BMW X2 a good tow car?
Despite a lack of diesel models which usually offer the best towing capability, the petrol-powered BMW X2 can haul a reasonable 1,800kg.
