In both the frontal offset test, neck protection of the 10 year dummy was rated as marginal. Otherwise, protection of both dummies was good or adequate for both the frontal offset and side barrier tests. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. All of the restraint types for which the X2 is designed could be properly installed and accommodated.

The X2 has an ‘active’ bonnet. Sensors in the bumper detect when a pedestrian has been struck and actuators lift the surface of the bonnet to provide greater clearance to the stiff structures in the engine compartment. BMW showed that the system was capable of detecting various pedestrian statures over a range of speeds and, accordingly, the car was tested in the raised, ‘deployed’ position. Head protection on the bonnet surface was almost entirely good, with some poor results recorded at the base of the windscreen and on the stiff windscreen pillars. The bumper offered good protection to pedestrians’ legs but protection of the pelvis region was poor for all test locations. The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system of the X2 can respond to vulnerable road users, as well as to other vehicles. The system performed well in tests of its response to pedestrians and cyclists, with collisions avoided in most scenarios.

The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system performed well in tests of its reaction to other vehicles. A seatbelt reminder system is fitted as standard to the front and rear seats and the car has a system to detect driver fatigue. The lane support system gently corrects the vehicle’s path if it is drifting out of lane, and also intervenes in some more critical situations. The speed assistance system detects the local speed limit and the driver can choose to allow the maximum speed of the car to be automatically set by the system.

The BMW X2 is considered a 'partner' model to the X1, tested in 2022. Its structure and safety equipment is the same and much of this assessment is based on results obtained for the X1. Additional tests have been done where necessary.

The passenger compartment of the X2 remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy numbers demonstrated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. Some structures in the dashboard were considered to present a risk of injury to the legs of occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. Driver chest protection was rated as marginal, a little better than that of the X1. Analysis of the deceleration of the impact trolley during the test, and analysis of the deformable barrier after the test, revealed that the X2 would be a moderately benign impact partner in a frontal collision. In the full-width rigid barrier test, chest protection was rated as marginal for the rear passenger, with good protection of other critical body areas, and was good or adequate for the driver. In both the side barrier test and the more severe side pole impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the car scored maximum points in this part of the assessment. Control of excursion (the extent to which a body is thrown to the other side of the vehicle when it is hit from the far side) was found to be adequate. The X2 has a counter-measure to mitigate against occupant to occupant injuries in such impacts. The system performed well in Euro NCAP’s test, with good protection of occupants’ heads. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric analysis of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. The X2 has an advanced eCall system which alerts the emergency services in the event of a crash. The car also has a system which applies the brakes after an impact to avoid secondary collisions.
