BMW's X2 launched this week in South Africa (March 2018) and we were there to sample the brand's latest SUV. However, we left asking ourselves, is it really an SUV?

There are multiple manufacturers making moves in this segment. Audi was arguably first out of the blocks with the Q2, while Jaguar has just launched the E-Pace locally and Volvo's XC40 will arrive in April this year.

In this video, we borrowed a car from the launch to spend a few hours driving the newcomer. We take a look at the boot space, interior and infotainment features, engine options and, most importantly, the South African pricing.
