If you’re going to look at the X2, you should also consider its more conventional X1 sibling.
They’re identical under the skin, and the X1 is a little cheaper.
For style and practicality, we like the Volvo XC40, which offers impressive turbo punch, too.
The newest Mercedes GLA isn’t a bargain, but it’s well-equipped and evocatively styled.
Audi’s Q3 is something of a bargain for its tech and sophistication, so don’t leave it off your list.
The Jaguar E-Pace is pretty and fun to drive, though its interior doesn’t impress.
