BMW X2 Next-Gen: What’s New?

As seen in the teaser video, the new X2 will have a completely new design. The raised hatchback silhouette of the current model will be replaced with an SUV coupe silhouette, similar to the BMW X4 and BMW X6. The front end will get BMW’s now signature massive kidney grilles along with integrated surround lighting and unique LED signatures.

Moving to the side, the new X2 will have a sharply raked roofline for the coupe profile and new alloy wheels. At the rear, it will likely feature new LED taillights connected by a lightbar.

Inside, the interior of the X2 will be identical to the current X1. It will get BMW’s new curved display layout with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.7-inch infotainment system. Other key features the X2 will get include connected car tech, keyless entry and go, multi-zone climate control, ambient lighting, and more. Due to its coupe-like silhouette, the X2 will have slightly decreased headroom and boot space compared to the X1.

BMW X2 Next-Gen: Powertrain Details

BMW will likely offer the X2 with a range of ICE and strong-hybrid powertrain choices. While details are yet to be confirmed, peak power will range from 170 bhp - 326 bhp, depending on the powertrain. The automaker has also confirmed that it will offer a pure-electric version of the SUV, likely to be called the iX2.
