Comparing the BMW X2 vs. the Volvo XC40

Why blend in with the compact crossover crowd in Burlington or Stowe, when you could stand out with the new BMW X2 SAV? Uniquely designed and luxuriously crafted, the X2 is a popular choice for our customers at The Automaster BMW, and we want to help you get better acquainted with it.

There are many reasons why the BMW X2 is a superior choice for drivers in the greater Williston area who are looking for a fun-to-drive, well-equipped, compact crossover. However, we know you have other options to weigh and consider. To help you select the best fit for your needs, we've highlighted our popular X2 next to the competing Volvo XC40. Read on to see some of the ways in which our model comes out ahead.

Performance and Efficiency

Both of these high-end models have two gas-powered engines for drivers to choose from. However, the BMW X2 delivers more of the oomph and power that makes rides between Plattsburgh, NY and Hanover, NH more fun. For example,:

• Standard power for the BMW X2 is 228 horsepower, coming from a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Meanwhile, the Volvo XC40, although also powered by a standard, turbocharged four-cylinder engine, produces just 187 horsepower at its base version.
• Opt for the upgraded powertrain for the BMW X2, and you'll get a robust 301 horsepower. But opt for the Volvo upgrade, and the most you can expect is 248 horsepower.

Additionally, not only can you look forward to a heartier performance with the X2, but you can also expect to go further between fill-ups at the gas station as well. The X2 gets a larger fuel tank than the XC40, holding more than 16 gallons, compared to just 14 in the Volvo. This helps the BMW earn up to 386 miles in the city and 515 miles on the highway per fill up, while the XC40 gets around 327 miles in the city and 454 miles on the highway per tank of gas.

Size and Interior Space

Comparing the exteriors of these two models, and we notice that the BMW X2 actually measures smaller than the Volvo XC40 in a couple of areas. However, while the XC40 may seem larger on the outside, the BMW model maximizes its interior dimensions better, with more space where you need it. For example,:

• The BMX X2 has a larger and more useful cargo hold in the rear than the Volvo XC40. While the X2 can accommodate nearly 22 cubic feet behind the backseats, the Volvo tops out at just 20.7 cubic feet.
• Your tallest friends and growing teens will be more comfortable riding in the backseat of the BMW compared to the Volvo as well, thanks to greater amounts of both legroom and shoulder room in the backseat of the X2 over the XC40.

Standard and Available Features

Trim by trim and side by side, the BMW X2 also has more of the amenities that drivers want over the Volvo XC40. In fact, while many of our customers' most sought-after features are listed as optional for the XC40, they're standard with out X2. Some highlights include:

• Automatic climate control
• Power-adjustable front seats
• Navigation
• Smartphone auto controls and remote monitoring
