2021 Volvo XC40 vs. 2021 BMW X2

The 2021 Volvo XC40 is gifted with a great spot in the world of luxury subcompact SUVs. This one has two rows of spacious seats, ready to accommodate up to five passengers. Car buyers in Manhattan will surely want to discover its long list of standard amenities.

For the 2021 BMW X2, expect that there are user-friendly features included in its list. It now has satellite radio as a standard. The cabin is also good enough in terms of design.

Design & Style

The 2021 XC40 is gifted with a cargo space that expands to accommodate 47.2 cubic feet when the second row is folded. This is praised for its wide and square opening with an option to expand further if you avail of the fold-up cargo floor. The crossover seats five people comfortably, with great outward visibility in all directions. Tall passengers will find the second row as spacious and comfortable as that of its front seats. It is opulent too, with all the high-end materials that you already find in its brothers from the brand.

In the case of the 2021 BMW X2, expect that the coupe-style crossover can also seat up to five people. The front seats make the driver and co-pilot comfortable. At the back, smaller adults can fit in, but taller ones will not enjoy that area. There are soft touch materials inside, but the presence of hard plastics in the cabin makes it disappointing.

Technology & Safety

The 2021 Volvo XC40 is gifted with high-tech and modern amenities. It has a nine-inch touch screen for its infotainment system. It also has eight speakers, HD radio, multiple USB ports, Bluetooth, satellite radio, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. Safety equipment standard to the ride are rain-sensing windshield wipers, rear parking sensors, rearview camera, oncoming collision mitigation, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and a whole lot more.

The 2021 BMW X2, on the other hand, uses an 8.8-inch touch screen for its iDrive infotainment system. It has a touchpad that can be used to control the interface. What is disgusting with the ride is it still does not include Android Auto as a standard. It has safety equipment like the ones we have enumerated for the XC40, but it falls short of the number of standard driver aids that the Volvo offers.

Performance

The 2021 XC40 has two turbo-four engines. One of these versions registers 187 horsepower, while the other doles out 248 horsepower. The X2, on the other hand, has a turbo-four engine that aspirates only up to 228 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

The 2021 Volvo XC40 is truly an impressive ride in terms of design and style. It is even more delightful with its long list of technology and safety features. Add to that, the ride has powerful engine options that topple down the X2's.
