1. appearance

in terms of appearance, all four models have very obvious family design elements. among them, the bmw x2 adopts a large-size "double kidney" air intake grille, matched with irregular headlights on both sides, which has a high degree of recognition and makes people recognize it as a bmw at a glance. alfa romeo tonali is a classic italian sports style. the interior of the triangular front grille adopts a black honeycomb mesh design. the sharp and narrow headlights stretch the visual width of the front of the car. lexus ux is a standard japanese elegance. the front of the car adopts a family-style spindle-shaped air intake grille and is equipped with slender irregular headlights. mini countryman focuses on fashion style. the hexagonal air intake grille and round headlights are the classic designs of mini brand models.

at the rear, all four models adopt a family-style design, which is highly recognizable. among them, the taillights of lexus ux and alfa romeo tonali adopt the currently popular through-type design, which can not only increase the sense of layering, but also stretch the visual width. mini countryman adopts the brand's classic "m"-shaped taillights, which are not only highly recognizable, but also increase the thickness of the rear. bmw x2 adopts a new taillight group, combined with the upper spoiler and the lower diffuser design, showing a strong sense of sportiness.

in terms of body size, all four models are positioned as compact suvs, giving people a small and exquisite visual effect. in terms of parameters, the bmw x2 has an advantage in body length, width and wheelbase, and has better interior space performance; the alfa romeo tonali has the most outstanding body height.

in terms of exterior configuration, the bmw x2 is the only one among the four models that comes standard with an electric trunk and electric trunk position memory. the alfa romeo tonali relies on the unique rear side privacy glass to improve the privacy of rear passengers. in comparison, the configuration level of the lexus ux is slightly lower and there is still room for improvement.

2. interior

in terms of interior, the bmw x2 adopts a dual-screen design with a more technological feel; the alfa romeo tonali adopts an italian-style concise style; the lexus ux inherits the brand's usual restraint and luxury; the design of the mini countryman is most popular among young people, with a rounded retro style and a sense of fashion. in terms of technological sense, except for the mini countryman, the center console display screens of the other three models adopt a floating design.

in terms of interior configuration, alfa romeo tonali performs best in terms of comfort configuration, with exclusive steering wheel heating and front seat ventilation functions; at the same time, its lcd instrument is also the largest among the four models. in comparison, bmw x2 performs poorly in interior configuration, with many missing configurations, and has a certain gap with the other three models.

3. performance

in terms of power, except for the lexus ux which uses hybrid power, the energy types of the other models are all gasoline. from the parameters, the alfa romeo tonali has obvious advantages in maximum engine power and maximum torque, and its official 0-100km/h acceleration is the best among the four models. at the same time, it is also equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system, which has better dynamic stability. in comparison, the mini countryman is inferior to the other three models. although it is equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system, its official 0-100km/h acceleration is still the worst among the four cars, and its 1.5t engine also uses a three-cylinder design that many domestic consumers do not like.

4. safety

in terms of safety configuration, both the alfa romeo tonali and the lexus ux are equipped with driver's knee airbags, which can effectively reduce the damage to the human body in the event of an accident. in addition, the lexus ux is also equipped with rear side airbags for higher safety. in terms of active safety, the bmw x2 performs better, with exclusive dow door opening warning and rear collision warning. in comparison, the mini countryman's active safety configuration is poor, with many missing configurations, which is significantly different from the other three models.

5. driving assistance and intelligence

in terms of driving hardware, except for mini countryman, the other three models are all equipped with reversing images and front parking radar as standard. bmw x2 and alfa romeo tonali can also be equipped with 360-degree panoramic images as an option. in terms of driving functions, lexus ux is equipped with l2 driving assistance system as standard. although bmw x2 needs to pay extra to choose adaptive cruise or full-speed adaptive cruise, it is the only one among the four models that has tracking reversing and steering wheel hand-off detection. in comparison, mini countryman performs poorly in terms of driving function configuration, not as good as the other three models.

in terms of intelligent configuration, lexus ux performs relatively well among the four models, with exclusive voice wake-up word-free, single-area voice wake-up recognition, continuous voice recognition, and support for ota upgrades. in comparison, mini countryman performs slightly worse.

summarize:

if you are looking for an imported compact suv that can show your personality and taste, then the above four models are all choices you cannot miss. among them, the overall performance of the bmw x2 is the most balanced. although it is slightly lacking in driving assistance configuration, it can be compensated by optional packages. the alfa romeo tonali is a niche brand model, but it has better overall configuration performance and outstanding sportiness. in contrast, the mini countryman is much inferior in both performance and configuration. the overall performance of the lexus ux is slightly mediocre. although there is no obvious shortcoming, there is also no highlight worth recommending.
