The second-gen BMW X2 will go on sale in the first quarter of 2024 with significantly bigger dimensions, more technology, and a new all-electric iX2 variant.
BMW's latest X2 has been unveiled more than a year after its donor model, the X1.
The coupe SUV arrives at a much higher price than before ($10,100, in fact) with the entry-level xDrive20i commanding $75,900 before on-road costs.

Dimensions
Justifying the price hike is a 194mm increase in length, meaning the 4.55-metre BMW X2 has outgrown its former status as a compact SUV.
Width and height also increase, and the X2 gains a longer wheelbase and wider tracks to help improve cabin and boot space.
Boot space increases by 90 litres to 560 litres, or 1470 litres with the rear seats folded down.
The iX2's luggage compartment is slightly lower at 525 litres, or 1400 litres.

As expected, the X2 and iX2 interior designs are virtually identical to those of the X1 and iX1.
One interesting design development for the X2's bigger kidney grilles is an optional LED daytime-running light ring, which BMW dubs 'Iconic Glow contour lighting'.

Engine, drivetrain, and fuel economy
The X2 will launch with a flagship M35i xDrive that is again powered by a 'B48' 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder. Shared with the X1 M35i, the engine produces the same 233kW and 400Nm.
It matches performance, too, with a 5.4-second 0-100km/h sprint, though the size and weight gain means the new fastest X2 is half a second slower than the model it replaces.
Below that will be an all-paw 150kW/300Nm xDrive20i variant that sits above the X1's sDrive18i and sDrive20i grades.

The BMW iX2 eDrive20, like the iX1, has a 65kWh battery and a 150kW/247Nm front electric motor for a 477-kilometre range.
The BMW iX2 xDrive30 also has the 65kWh battery pack, and features the same electric motors front and rear as the iX1 for outputs of 230kW and 494Nm.
Claimed performance is identical at 5.6 seconds for the 0-100km/h benchmark sprint.
BMW quoting a WLTP range of 449km for the iX2 xDrive30. The iX1's WLTP range is a maximum 440km.
Safety
The BMW X2 is yet to be evaluated by Euro NCAP or ANCAP.
