The 2024 BMW X2: A Young, Athletic Prodigy in the Compact Segment
In launching its second generation, the BMW X2 confidently establishes its place within the BMW SUV lineup. Mirroring the distinctive coupe-like body seen in its kin, the X6 and X4, the new X2 finds a more coherent identity, especially when juxtaposed against the first generation whose purpose remained somewhat enigmatic for enthusiasts. This freshly sculpted model, with its improved dimensions and sleeker profile, aspires to surpass the remarkable global sales of its predecessor, which boasted over 380,000 units.
An Innovator Among SUV Coupes
Ready to charm spectators at Japan's Mobility Show (formerly Tokyo Motor Show) on October 26th, 2023—the all-new BMW X2 has been crafted boasting significant enhancements over its previous iteration. Built for worldwide distribution from Regensburg's cutting-edge BMW Group Plant—recognized as an industry pioneer for its comprehensive digital automation processes—the new X2 encapsulates essence of modern manufacturing prowess within every panel.
A Contemporary Expression of Sports Activity Coupe
This compact sports activity coupe dawns an exterior design that adequately echoes power while maintaining an individualistic presence distinct from the conventional framework of its kinfolk, BMW X1. The extended wheelbase by almost an inch coupled with augmented tracks and larger diameter wheels results in a muscular stance few rivals can contest. Inside this spaceship-like cabin lies room for five adult occupants to savor substantial improvements in shoulder and elbow space complemented with expanded legroom for rear seat passengers.
Dazzling Exterior Design Adorning Bold Lines
The refreshed silhouette bears dynamic lines against expansive surfaces creating a coupe-like outline sure to turn heads even when parked. The vertical front end combined with pronounced arches on large-diameter wheels exudes confidence mirroring the car’s performance abilities.
Potent Performance Packed Under Its Hood
Powering the X2 xDrive28i is a revised 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine churning out an impressive 241 hp between 4,500-6,500 rpm and torque peaking to 295 lb-ft between 1,500-4,000 rpm—enough thrust for this model to accomplish a 0-60 mph sprint in just over six seconds.
A Sports Activity Coupe with M Performance
The BMW X2’s most potent expression can be found in its M35i xDrive variant which boasts of a spirited powertrain topped with powerful Brembo brakes and twin exhausts that echo assertiveness. This car packs an exhilarating performance capable of propelling it from rest to 60 mph within a five-second window.
An Innovative Showpiece on Wheels
Inside the athletic frame lies an interior awash with innovative features pioneering modern-day automotive digitalization.

Accentuating Agility: Individual Design with M Details
An embodiment of exceptional performance, the BMW X2 M35i xDrive packs a punch visually and mechanically. Deserving of its status as flagship model, it wears large air intakes on its front apron that enact efficient cooling for engine, transmission, and brakes even under intense driving conditions. Further accentuating this athletic posture are black M exterior mirror caps, prominent side skirt extensions, and a rear apron diffuser inlay hinting at the power beneath.
Crowning the Cabin – Bespoke Features & Luxurious Trims
In tune with its external vibrance, the 2024 BMW X2 offers an interior enriched by M-specific details. Noteworthy features include Aluminum Hexacube trim pieces tastefully arrayed throughout the cabin alongside elements like color-coded contrast stitching on Veganza/Alcantara sport seats featured standard in all models. Drivers craving extra exclusivity can opt for optional electrically adjustable memory-enabled M Sport seats accented by an illuminated 'M' logo in backrests further amplifying distinctiveness inside this compact sports activity coupe.
A Blend of Cutting-Edge Convenience – Display Systems & Connectivity
