6 – Luxury subcompact SUVs: BMW X1/X2

I admit I was tempted to go with the Volvo XC40 here; that small SUV sports an utterly charming façade and delivers a solid driving experience on the road. But in the end, that model’s interior, undermined by a multimedia system that seems designed to cause road rage in users, compelled me to look elsewhere. And I landed on the BMW X1/X2 combo. One sportier in nature and the other more practical, they are both highly usable for everyday driving, plus they behave almost like cars. Almost.
