New BMW X2 coming next year

Rugged X model profile fused with the sporting grace of a coupe.


The attractive, exciting, extrovert new BMW X2 will celebrate its market premiere in March 2018.

.

.

With a design oozing individuality from every pore and a sporty suspension set-up, the BMW X2 pushes back boundaries.

The X2 cuts a sublime figure from any angle. Its stance on the road recalls a finely-tuned athlete – and fuses the rugged profile typical of a BMW X model with the sporting grace of a coupe.

.

.

BMW TwinTurbo engines transfer these genes to the road in suitably dynamic style.

Three variants are available from launch; the BMW X2 sDrive20i petrol model with 141kW, plus the X2 xDrive20d diesel variant with 140kW, and the X2 xDrive25d diesel with 170kW.

.

.

Both diesel cars come as standard with xDrive intelligent allwheel drive and the eight-speed Steptronic transmission, while the petrol model is fitted with the sporty seven-speed Steptronic dual-clutch transmission.

Further models will be addedto the Sports Activity Coupe lineup in early 2018 – in the shape of the three-cylinder 103kW X2 sDrive18i, X2 sDrive18d and X2 xDrive18d with 110kW.

The sporty suspension of the X2 transfers the fine agility and dynamics of the drivetrain to the road.

The M Sport and M Sport X models come as standard with M Sport suspension with firmer spring and damper settings and a lowered ride height.

This feature is available as an option on the basic BMW X2.

.

.

The optional Dynamic Damper Control allows the suspension settings to be tailored even more closely.

Drivers can expect to find a top quality interior as per usual, and BMW Connected and BMW ConnectedDrive Services – both available as an option for the X2.

While also joining them on the options list, is the full-colour BMW Head-Up Display. The X2 also offers customers cutting-edge technologies when it comes to driver assistance systems.

.

The optional Parking Assistant is likewise designed to make life easier, automatically identifying suitable parking spaces and, if desired, taking over steering duties for the parking manoeuvre.
