The X2 was Originally presented at the 2017 Paris Motor Show. At that time, BMW presented us with a trimmed-down SUV with certain hints of a coupe. He does not reach the extreme of taking advantage of this line as his brothers do, the BMW X4 y BMW X6, but neither does it have the same shape as the model from which it derives, the BMW X1. Years later, at the end of 2023, the second generation arrives on the market, completely changed in presentation and proportions.

Technical characteristics of the BMW X2

Although the BMW X2 was born in Bavaria, part of its DNA is received from MINI. As part of the German conglomerate, the alliance shares developments and schemes between its models. The X2 platform is an example of this. Unlike the traditional BMW concept, the SUV has a front-wheel drive UKL structure, like the X1, the BMW Serie 1 and the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer.

For its second edition, the X2 is no longer the smallest model in the family and now follows the natural order of numbering. The growth is almost 20 centimeters. The proportions are now ideal for the C segment: 4,57 meters long, 1,84 meters wide and 1,57 meters high. To these proportions we must add an empty weight between 1.645 and 1.770 kilograms.

The wheelbase is defined as 2,69 meters long, a space that allows it to accommodate up to five occupants inside, three of them installed in a wide and generous second row. As for his load volume has 560 liters of minimum capacity (515 liters for MHEV versions) and 1.470 liters of maximum capacity. More than enough figures for a wide range of uses.

Mechanical range and BMW X2 gearboxes

The use of the platform shared with MINI gives access to a varied and very well graded mechanical range. It has four cylinder blocks that, Starting in 2024, it adds MHEV solutions with the ECO label from the DGT. Accompanying the thermal versions and as a true novelty of the second generation, the BMW iX2 makes an appearance. A 100% electric alternative with up to 474 kilometers of approved autonomy.

In the X2 range, for performance, the family starts with the x2 sDrive18d. It offers a turbocharged two-liter four-cylinder diesel engine that delivers 150 horsepower managed by a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends all the power to the front axle. Below is the X2 sDrive20d with 163 horsepower. The offer with gasoline engines starts with the X2 sDrive20i gasoline that develops 170 horsepower and 280 Nm of torque.

Although later the family will be completed with other versions, including plug-in hybrid units, the most powerful model of the house arrives under the umbrella of the name X2 M35i xDrive. It has a two-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that develops 300 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque. Power is distributed between the two axles through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Equipment of the BMW X2

The BMW X2 isn't just a pretty face and a great drive, it's also a well-equipped car, if not from the ground up. As it is already a policy in the German firm, access technology load is good but not notable. If we want to increase that capacity, we will have to opt for extra equipment that does not come cheap. There are many items in the optional catalog, many more than expected in a model in this segment.

As is customary for the Bavarian brand, The iX2 is available in several trim levels, named as: Series, M Sport Package, M Sport Pro Package and BMW M. The latter is only available in the M35i model. The main differences between them lie in the appearance, which can range from a more basic to a more sporty look. There are also differences at the basic technological level at the cost of increasing the sales price.

If we focus more on the technological section, The X2 can have many elements such as Full LED headlights, wheels up to 21 inches, keyless entry and start, double curved panel system, Head-Up Display, navigator, sunroof, connectivity for mobile devices, and of course a wide and outstanding active safety equipment and driving assistants.

The BMW X2 of Km 0 and second hand

If we take into account the market, the X2 is not the cheapest solution of all the existing ones. However, the volume of sales is good and this means that the second-hand and second-hand markets are well supplied with units. Young units given that it has only been on the market for a few years. Despite this, we can see how the degree of depreciation is good for its segment, around 25%.

As for the Km 0 units, the offer varies depending on the time of year in which we find ourselves. Being a requested model, the brand always accumulates units in stock for easy and quick sale. Second-hand market prices start at figures close to 23.000 euros for 2018 models with more than 100.000 accumulated kilometers.

Rivals of the BMW X2

The two most direct models are the Mercedes GLA-Class and the Listen Q2. All three have similar measurements and prices, although their lines and designs do not fit perfectly. To them we can add others of a general nature, such as the Volkswagen T ROC or KIA Xceed. In this case, we do see how the shape is more similar, but not the prices.
