Comparison Review

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW X2 as you will with the Volvo XC40, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the BMW X2 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Volvo XC40.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X2 is much slimmer than the Volvo XC40, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the BMW X2, which is slightly longer than the Volvo XC40.

Handling
The BMW X2 has a larger turning radius than the Volvo XC40, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the BMW X2 and the Volvo XC40.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the BMW X2 transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Volvo XC40.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X2 and the Volvo XC40. The BMW X2 has less cargo space than the Volvo XC40, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
