Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the BMW X2 than the Nissan Pathfinder. The Nissan Pathfinder will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the BMW X2.

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 Nissan Pathfinder.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X2 is much slimmer than the Nissan Pathfinder, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the BMW X2, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Nissan Pathfinder.

Performance
The BMW X2 has a little less horsepower than the Nissan Pathfinder.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the BMW X2 and the Nissan Pathfinder are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

Utility
The BMW X2 has less seating than the Nissan Pathfinder, making the Nissan Pathfinder the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The BMW X2 has significantly less cargo capacity than the Nissan Pathfinder.

Warranty
