Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The X2 launched as a 2019 model and, this being only its sophomore year, BMW hasn't changed much for 2020. Last year's standard 6.5-inch infotainment display has been ditched in favor of the formerly optional 8.8-inch unit; navigation is now also standard across the X2 lineup. Otherwise, the X2 carries on essentially unchanged.

Pros
Playful handling,
chic exterior styling,
economical at the pump.

Cons
Too-harsh ride,
interior design is plain,
compromised cargo space.

Materials quality and build quality are top-notch
Quick acceleration and sporty handling

Cons
Less rear headroom and cargo space than the X1

The Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric has an appealing interior, a decent electric range, rapid performance and impressive safety credentials. It’s expensive next to many rivals, but the lower-spec models stack up fairly well next to similarly premium (if often larger and, in some cases, more fun) alternatives.

Pros
High-quality interior
Rapid performance
Decent range

Cons
Expensive next to many rivals
Fiddly infotainment menus
No traditional PCP finance
