$47,600 · Wagon

$44,300 · Crossover

Comparison Overview

Deciding between refined wagon utility and slightly taller crossover agility often comes down to prioritizing subtle differences in performance and packaging. If you love the road-holding feel of a traditional low-slung vehicle, the 2025 Audi A4 allroad offers 261 hp, but it is $3,300 more expensive than the 2026 BMW X2. While the Audi is longer at 187.5 inches, the BMW X2 manages slightly better fuel economy, achieving 28 combined MPG versus the Audi’s 26. Interestingly, despite the lower horsepower (241 hp), the BMW counters with more torque at 295 lb-ft, suggesting peppier low-end grunt. Both feature essential AWD and the same 7-speed automated manual transmission, but the X2 gains a slight edge in pure cargo space, offering 25.3 cu ft compared to the A4 allroad's 24.2 cu ft. Your final choice rests on whether that lower entry price and marginal cargo boost outweigh the Audi's established premium stance.
