Funk X2

BMW’s new crossover coupé is fresh, young and modern. Plus, it retains the excellent dynamic qualities of the Bavarian brand. What’s not to like?

Over the last decade or so, the concept of the crossover coupé has picked up steadily amongst car manufacturers. It may sound extremely bizarre, but a sporty, high-riding coupe is a thing now – and, well, there’s demand for it. The arrival of the BMW X2, then, is hardly surprising. It has the same spirit of its bigger sibling, the X6 – which, technically, is responsible for making crossover coupes famous back in 2008. The X2, in comparison, is a little more interesting. It uses the same philosophy, but with compact dimensions and a funky style language that we haven’t seen coming from Munich before.
