In other words, you don’t have to fret about scrubbing out each time you enter a driveway. This is not intended for off-road duties, but the increased ground clearance does make it ideal for those who do a lot of running around, in and out of tight car parks and steep driveways. For further reference, the BMW X1 offers 505L/1550L, with rear seats up and down, and the 1 Series hatch presents 360L/1200L.īeing an SUV means getting in and out is also easier than a regular hatch thanks to the higher ride height. Cargo space is measured at 470L/1355L, making it 15L smaller than the Jaguar E-PACE competitor, but reasonably bigger than the Audi Q2 rival and its 405L/1050L capacity. It is slightly less practical than the X1 brother, but it does present more cargo area than a 1 Series hatch, for example. Most of the upper fixtures are coated a sound-absorbing rubber-like material, with plastics reserved for the lower areas where scuffing commonly occurs. However, in this price range it’s nice to see leather that extends all the way across the dash and onto some of the centre console. Ok, so it is a luxury vehicle and you shouldn’t expect less. The interior is surprisingly high quality inside, too. A flip-down centre armrest adds comfort, as do climate vents in the back of the centre console. Rear passengers are well catered for as well, at least those in the outer seats, with decent legroom and headroom for this segment. Passenger space for those in the front is open and airy, with plenty of storage options around the place including BMW’s typically huge door pockets, as well as cup holders and a shallow centre console box. You might be expecting the X2 to be fairly small inside, but actually it’s quite accommodating.
