An extroverted X: Introducing the new BMW X2

A unique concept for a Sports Activity Coupe (SAC) vehicle was introduced to the premium compact segment when the first BMW X2 was launched in 2017. Now, seven years later, the new generation of the BMW X2 is even more individual, even sportier and even more advanced than before.

The new BMW X2 clearly differentiates itself from the class-leading BMW X1 with its extroverted and visually expressive design, making it immediately recognisable as a pure SAC. The new BMW X2 is 194 millimetres longer than its predecessor, to 4,554 millimetres, 21 millimetres wider to 1,845 millimetres and 64 millimetres taller, to 1,590 millimetres. What’s more, the longer wheelbase and wider track provide more space for both the five seats and the trunk.

The upright front end of the new BMW X2 is typical of this model and exudes confidence and presence. The roof line of the BMW X2 flows uninterrupted all the way to the rear of the vehicle, giving it a clearly defined coupé silhouette, where flared wheel arches and powerful shoulders come into focus.

The interior of the new BMW X2 exudes a modern, sporty ambience. The slim instrument panel houses BMW’s curved display and is linked in the cabin to a floating armrest with indirect lighting and a smartphone tray with wireless charging. The individuality of the BMW X2 is further emphasised by the newly developed seats.

The BMW Performance model variant, the X2 M35i xDrive, will be available to order at market launch and will further highlight the dynamic nature of the compact SAC. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine develops a maximum output of 300 horsepower and accelerates from standstill to 62 mph in 5.4 seconds. M-specific chassis tuning and BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive combine to deliver outstanding performance characteristics. The standard Adaptive M suspension enhances both agility and long-distance comfort. Another model variant available in Jamaica at launch is the BMW X2 xDrive20i.
