The time has finally come to announce with great fanfare the next generation of the German firm's X2. Although the wait has been longer than initially planned, the new BMW X2 is practically ready to go on sale and stand out from its main competitors. Its transformation has been remarkable, with a host of new features and several engine types to debut next spring.
If we compare the previous model with this one, we'd say that the only thing they've maintained is the series and the unmistakable features that characterize any BMW. Otherwise, we're looking at a completely renewed and very striking BMW X2 . The new coupé format is similar to that of its older siblings, the X4 and X6 series, so the aesthetic aspect has already been considerably improved in terms of elegance and proportionality.
The new BMW X2 grows in proportions and sportiness
This new generation of SUVs is slightly larger than previous models, although it may not seem so at first glance. BMW has increased the length by 194 millimeters, the height by 64 millimeters, and the width by 21 millimeters , which allows the axles to be separated even further and gives it a much more sporty and aggressive look on the road. Its gigantic double ovoid grille has a more hexagonal shape, separating the two adaptive Full LED headlights and allowing us to even illuminate the edges of the grille.
Since this is an SUV Coupé , the roofline drops more steeply from the rear doors, a detail they've used to create more voluminous wheel arches and thus form more pronounced shoulders, ideal for accommodating wheels up to 20 inches . As if that weren't enough, the rear finish includes a slim yet elegant spoiler over the trunk, which also features modern and intense horizontal pilots.
Luxury interior, cutting-edge technology and sporty essence
If we go inside the new BMW X2, we'll see several elements inherited from some of its siblings, such as the curved screen, touch section on the console, and the iDrive9 system . Beyond its technology on the dashboard, we'll see that even the renewed floating center armrest also has another integrated control system that facilitates interaction with the vehicle and all its settings.
And, if we look at what's under the hood, the new BMW X2 will be available in both diesel and gasoline, with the possibility of enjoying up to 170 hp in the gasoline version and 150 hp in the diesel . Whichever option is chosen, we will enjoy technology developed to obtain the best performance with the lowest possible consumption, so there are no more excuses to take a closer look and test it as soon as it comes out on the market. In Spain, its launch is scheduled for March 2024 , so there is nothing left until we see it on the roads.
