A New Era for the BMW X2
BMW is back with a bang, introducing the second generation of its X2 Sports Activity Coupé. This revamped model boasts a dynamic new style, cutting-edge technology, and even more space and comfort than its predecessor.
For those who remember the original X2, this new iteration is set to take the automotive world by storm, solidifying BMW’s dominance in the rapidly evolving compact premium segment.
What’s New with the X2?
The new BMW X2 showcases its evolution with larger dimensions, a pronounced coupé silhouette, and dynamic lines. But it’s not just about looks; the car is packed with innovative features. The fully electric BMW iX2 variant is a testament to BMW’s commitment to sustainable mobility, offering a range of up to 266 miles.
Plus, with the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and BMW Operating System 9, drivers are in for a tech-rich experience.
Diverse Drive Options
BMW has expanded the X2’s drive variants, appealing to a broader audience. Whether you’re an eco-conscious driver or someone who craves power, there’s an X2 for you. The range-topping BMW M35i xDrive, for instance, promises traditional M performance with a powerful four-cylinder engine that produces 300hp, accelerating from 0-62mph in a mere 5.4 seconds.
For those who are price-conscious, the BMW X2 range starts at a competitive £39,365, with the all-electric BMW iX2 priced from £56,540. And the good news? Deliveries are set to commence in March 2024.
Electric Excellence with the iX2
The all-electric iX2 xDrive30 is BMW’s answer to the growing demand for emission-free premium mobility. With two electric motors generating a combined 313hp and 494Nm of torque, this car promises both power and efficiency.
The iX2 can accelerate from 0 to 62mph in just 5.6 seconds, with a top speed of 112mph. And with a range of 259 – 266 miles, range anxiety is a thing of the past.
Charging Made Easy
BMW has equipped the iX2 with an advanced Combined Charging Unit, ensuring quick and efficient charges. With AC charging up to 11kW, you can recharge the battery from 0 to 100% in just 6.5 hours. And if you’re in a hurry, DC fast-charging can boost the battery from 10 to 80% in just 29 minutes.
Petrol Powerhouses
For those who still have a soft spot for petrol engines, the new BMW X2 sDrive20i is powered by a three-cylinder petrol unit. Teamed up with a 48V mild hybrid system, this engine offers a balanced blend of performance and efficiency. And for those craving more power, the BMW X2 M35i xDrive, with its four-cylinder engine, delivers a whopping 300hp.
Unparalleled Handling and Braking
BMW has always been synonymous with driving pleasure, and the new X2 is no exception. With its newly developed front and rear axle components, adaptive M suspension, and integrated braking system, drivers can expect agile, precise, and dynamic handling. The M Sport brakes, available with the X2 M35i xDrive, ensure that the car stops as impressively as it accelerates.
The new BMW X2 and its electric sibling, the iX2, are set to make their grand debut at the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo on 26 October 2023. With order books now open, UK drivers can look forward to getting behind the wheel of these impressive machines come March 2024. Whether you’re an electric enthusiast or a petrolhead, the new X2 range promises something for everyone.
