What’s new about the 2024 BMW X2?
Exterior
The exterior of the all-new BMW X2 radiates sportiness and individuality. Its increased length and wheelbase, coupled with a wider stance, give it a muscular and confident presence. The design features a dynamic roofline that flows into the rear end, embodying the essence of a BMW Sports Activity Coupe. The front is marked by a hexagonal contour BMW kidney grille and modern twin headlights, emphasizing the car’s width and solidity. At the rear, the flared wheel arches and horizontal lines highlight the vehicle's sporty character.
Unique design elements distinguish the X2 from its siblings. The model-specific headlights, a new rear light design, and the optional illuminated BMW kidney grille (standard on the M35i) underscore its exclusivity. The X2 M35i xDrive performance model further boasts M Sport package enhancements, including aerodynamically optimized details and the option of 21-inch light-alloy wheels, a first for a compact BMW SUV.
Interior
The interior of the BMW X2 is a fusion of modernity and spaciousness. It provides increased shoulder, elbow, and knee room, offering comfortable seating for five adults. The interior design echoes the electric BMW iX with a slender instrument panel and the BMW Curved Display, creating a premium ambience with a sporty touch. The use of high-quality materials and precision craftsmanship underscores the vehicle's upscale positioning.
Functionality meets design in the X2’s cabin. Key features include a “floating” armrest with an integrated control panel, the BMW Curved Display for a modern touch, and various trim options for personalization. Seats in the X2 are newly developed for better comfort and support, with optional Sport Seats enhancing the dynamic driving experience. The optional Panoramic Glass Sunroof adds to the premium feel, bringing in natural light and enhancing the interior ambience.
