BMW X2

The BMW X2 (model code F39) is a subcompact luxury crossover SUV produced by BMW. It was first showcased as the BMW Concept X2 at the 2016 Paris Motor Show,[4] with a production version unveiled in October 2017.[5] Sales commenced in March 2018.[6][7] 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.[8]

Overview

The X2 is based on the same front-wheel drive UKL2 architecture as the X1 and MINI Countryman,[9] 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.[10] Being a part of BMW X family, the vehicle is also available with xDrive all-wheel drive on higher end models.[11]

Both the sDrive28i and xDrive28i models are available in North American markets.[12]

A plug-in hybrid variant, called the xDrive 25e, was unveiled in January 2020.[13] In September 2020 BMW presented the special variant M Mesh Edition with a sporty look.[14]

Equipment

The X2 is offered in a standard, M Sport, and M Sport X trim.[15] 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.[16]

Available upgrades include Dakota leather, an upgraded 8.8-inch or 10.25-inch iDrive system with touch controls, wireless charging, a heads up display, and a Driving Assistant package that includes cruise control, lane departure warning, and speed limit information.[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.[18] The rest of the model range uses an 8-speed automatic transmission.[19]

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.
