The BMW X2 is a line of subcompact luxury crossover SUVs produced by BMW since 2017. It was first showcased as the BMW Concept X2 at the 2016 Paris Motor Show,[1] with a production version unveiled in October 2017.[2] Sales commenced in March 2018.[3][4] It is considered a sportier and less practical alternative to the X1, as is the case with other even-numbered X models with its respective counterparts.[5]
The X2 (model code F39) is based on the same front-wheel drive UKL2 architecture as the X1 and MINI Countryman,[10] and features the same 2,670 mm (105.1 in) wheelbase length. The X2 is assembled in Regensburg, Germany and is produced alongside the X1.[11] Being a part of BMW X family, the vehicle is also available with xDriveall-wheel drive on higher end models.[12]
Both the sDrive28i and xDrive28i models are available in North American markets.[13]
A plug-in hybrid variant, called the xDrive 25e, was unveiled in January 2020.[14] In September 2020 BMW presented the special variant M Mesh Edition with a sporty look.[15]
Production concluded on 11 October 2022, about 13 months prior to the launch of the next generation.[7]
Equipment
The X2 is offered in a standard, M Sport, and M Sport X trim.[16] The standard trim features cloth seats, a 6.5-inch iDrive 6.0 screen, and 17-inch wheels, while M Sport and M Sport X models have 19-inch wheels and include dynamic damper control and a 10 mm (0.4 in) lower sports suspension.[17]
sDrive18i and 18d models are available with a 6-speed manual transmission, while sDrive18i models can be upgraded to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.[19] The rest of the model range uses an 8-speed automatic transmission.[20]
16-28 models with the M Sport trim and M35 models can be fitted with M Performance Parts. These include black lower bumpers, carbon fibre mirrors, a sport steering wheel and black side skirts.
Ahead of the official reveal, the high-performance M35i was teased on social media,[26] showing off details such as its illuminated grille, large wheels and four round tailpipes.[27] It was fully revealed on 11 October 2023,[28][29] with the petrol variant to be joined by an all-electric iX2. Both models went on sale in early 2024.[30]
The BMW X2 and iX2 was presented to the public at the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo on October 26, 2023.[28] Deliveries to US showrooms will begin in March 2024.[28]
