The All-New BMW X2

03rd Jul 2018

Introducing the first ever BMW X2. With agility and precision underling this sleek and athletic Sports Activity Coupe, complimented by incredibly high levels of pulling power, the BMW X2 can go beyond the everyday commute, to seek out new adventures when necessary.

What's more, the all-new BMW X2 blends its striking crossover coupe looks with an equally lustrous interior, featuring unified state-of-the-art technology and comfort to benefit both driver and passengers seamlessly.

Exterior Design and Trim

The BMW X2 blends the renowned presence of the BMW X model looks with that of a coupe, resulting in an athletic yet elegant amalgamation of style.

Upfront, the iconic BMW kidney grilles make the BMW X2 easily recognisable as a BMW model. Finished in high-gloss black with chrome surround, they give the front of the car a sharp appearance. The X2 is available from launch with four trim levels. SE, Sport, M Sport and the range-topping M Sport X. From the Sport onward, each trim is an enhancement of the standard SE model's style and specification, yet all variants come as standard with xDrive intelligent four-wheel drive.

The BMW X2 boasts 17-inch alloy wheels, front foglights, shark fin aerial, multi-part front and rear bumpers along with body coloured door mirrors, handles and prominent arch and side skirt detailing all as standard. This blends in body coloured detailing further up the range, with the M Sport X adding enhanced aerodynamic body styling, along with Satin Aluminium exterior trim and Matt Aluminium roof rails. Each trim level of the BMW X2 comprises of dual exhaust tailpipes, finished in chrome. Alloy wheels of up to 20-inch are also available, dependant on trim level.

The youthful BMW X2 breaks the rules, too. As well as the commonplace BMW motif appearing on the front and rear of the car, the BMW X2 proudly displays a further pair on each C pillar - next to the famous Hofmeister kink.

Interior Design

In true BMW style, the classy exterior of the BMW X2 is mirrored within the interior too, via the use of high-quality leather and fabrics used throughout. In an elegant approach to make the BMW X2 all about the details, accent trim strips transition the BMW X2's instrument panel to the rear of the car. Gloss black detailing is used on the dashboard and centre console to accentuate the impressive details and fine quality.

There is also a unique opportunity to specify high-quality upholstery options such as the 'Micro Hexagon' / Alcantara design with yellow contrast stitching, which happens to be an exclusive option with the M Sport and M Sport X models.

Dials and controls are beautifully crisp, along with being beautifully made. In the M Sport and M Sport X models, take advantage of the M leather multifunction steering wheel with gearshift paddles for a more involving driving experience.

The BMW X2 is also available to specify with ambient lighting to give the BMW X2 interior added distinction and ambience. Available in a range of colours compromising White, Orange, Blue, Green, Bronze or Lilac.

Safety and Technology

Style has well and truly been the focus of the all-new BMW X2, but safety and technology is just as impressive. Standard safety technology includes forward vehicle collision warning, autonomous city brake up to 30mph and BMW Emergency Call.

All BMW X2 models come complete with satellite navigation too, along with BMW Professional radio and also DAB. There is also a 6.5-inch central screen, rear parking sensors, powered tailgate, automatic lights and wipers, dual-zone climate control, cruise control and hill start and hill decent control all coming part of the standard specification.

There is the ability to specify various packs on your BMW X2 also. The Driver Pack features front and rear parking sensors as part of Park Distance Control. The Driver Pack also includes Park Assist which controls the steering when parallel parking using ultra-sonic sensors. There is also Driving Assistant which comprises of Lane Departure Warning and High-beam Assistant.

Performance and Economy

The BMW X2 comes in a variety of engine and transmission choices, along with all-wheel drive and two-wheel drive choices too. The most powerful is a 2.0-litre petrol engine producing 189bhp, powered via a 7-speed DCT automatic transmission comprising 2WD, and also returning up to 51mpg.

Elsewhere in the range are four diesel options. Three of which use a 148bhp engine, with two of them using a 6-speed manual transmission - with one being 2WD, whilst the other is AWD. The third is a 2WD 7-speed automatic DCT. The fourth diesel engine is the most powerful diesel variant with 188bhp, using a 7-speed automatic DCT and AWD. Economy within the diesel variants is also impressive with up to 62mpg possible.

All models provide plenty of power from their 2.0-litre engines, with 62mph being achieved in just over 9 seconds, whilst the most powerful petrol and diesel engines only need 7.7 seconds. M Sport and M Sport X models come with stiffer and lower suspension, with a 10mm drop enabling a sportier driving experience.
