I've never previously driven this model of BMW. The X2 here is powered by a turbocharged 2.0 liter, 4 cylinder engine. Had you told me that just a few short years ago, I'd dismiss the vehicle as being under-powered without having ever actually driven it. These days, I'd do no such thing.
Isn't it amazing how far technology has come? Tiny engines, by yesterday's standards, produce more torque and horsepower than yesterday's giants. And fuel economy has improved because of it. This car is no exception. It definitely has more power than I'd ever need, and still achieves better than 30 miles per gallon on the freeway.
