BMW has announced the first-ever X2, which takes on the stage as the newest addition to the BMW X family featuring an unmistakable design with sporty yet urban genes with a specifically tuned chassis and xDrive, BMW’s intelligent all-wheel-drive system, promise undiluted driving fun.
The BMW TwinPower Turbo engine strikes a balance between sporting dynamics and efficiency powering the X2 in just 6.3 seconds from 0 to 60 mph.
The latest digital services from BMW ConnectedDrive and BMW ConnectedDrive Services add the necessary technology for the X2 to fit into a connected lifestyle.
The nature of the X2 is evident at first sight. Even next to its bigger siblings, the BMW X4 and BMW X6, the X2 makes a distinctive impression with its unique design. The main contributing factor is the car’s exterior design, which essentially combines the fast-moving body language and low-slung proportions of a coupe with the robust construction of a BMW X model.
“The BMW X2 represents an expression of modern and extrovert vehicle dynamics,” said Adrian van Hooydonk, senior vice president BMW Group Design, in describing the first-ever BMW X2. “Its standalone vehicle concept brings a new, fresh and exciting facet of the BMW to the compact segment.”
On the road, the BMW X2 has the poise of an athlete in peak condition. This is true for the basic version and even more so for M Sport X models. The BMW X2 M Sport X package combines design elements from BMW M and the BMW X family.

The X2 xDrive28i will be available at launch with the latest generation 2.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine, featuring a twin-tailpipe design, measuring 3.5 inches in diameter, that draws attention to the sporty character.
This engine features a TwinScroll turbocharger, High Precision Direct Injection, VALVETRONIC fully variable valve lift, and Double-VANOS variable camshaft timing.
In typical BMW TwinPower Turbo fashion, the driving torque is and instantly delivered for a dynamic and agile driving experience. The 8-speed Steptronic transmission ensures a sporty driving character while providing maximum efficiency. The reduced converter slip of this automatic transmission cuts energy losses, and its wide gear spread keeps revs lower at higher vehicle speeds contributing to fuel economy.
M Sport X package adds Sport Automatic Transmission for faster upshifts and downshifts.
