After having test driven many other small/mid SUV's I found the X2 (M35) to be the quietest and most composed. You hear enough of the engine to feel engaged with driving, but it has a pretty refined feel of luxury. The only other vehicles that came close were the Jag E-Pace and Range Rover Evoque - but had nowhere near the same level of driving dynamics. I wanted to fall in love with the Volvo XC40 (love the design), but was so disappointed in the ultra-light steering feel, and the lack of sound insulation in the cabin. I considered waiting for the updated Audi Q3, but they keep pushing back the release date, and honestly, I feel like I see a million Q3's and Q5's on the road here in the northeast - the X2 seems to have a bit more exclusivity and seems way more sporty.
