Second Generation BMW X2 Debuts Alongside First Electric iX2

Read time: 2 minutes

The BMW X2 first introduced the concept of a Sports Activity Coupé in the premium compact segment. And now the even more distinctive, sportier and forward-looking second generation is set to reaffirm BMW’s leadership in the fast-evolving sector.

Significantly larger dimensions, a pronounced coupé silhouette and dynamic lines visually showcase the development leap taken by the new BMW X2. The progressive character of the new model is also evident in the fully electric BMW iX2 variant, as well as in a large spread of driver assistant systems enabling automated driving and parking, and in the innovative digital services delivered by the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and BMW Operating System 9.

The range of drive variants extends the car’s appeal into additional target groups and will contribute to the new BMW X2 building on the success of the original model, of which more than 380,000 examples were sold worldwide.

The world premiere of the new BMW X2 and new BMW iX2 will take place at the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo (formerly the Tokyo Motor Show), which will open its doors on 26 October 2023.

The new BMW X2 will be priced from £40,515, with the iX2 eDrive20 starting from £51,615 OTR. Order books open today at BMW retailers across the UK, with the first deliveries expected to begin in March 2024.

The introduction of the BMW iX2 marks a significant step for the BMW Group in accelerating their electric vehicle strategy. This new offering ensures they now have at least one fully electric option in all major vehicle categories. Their ambitious goal is to have over two million electric vehicles on the road globally by the end of 2025. By 2030, they anticipate that half of all their worldwide sales will be electric vehicles.

Production for both the new BMW X2 and the iX2 takes place on a single assembly line at the BMW Group Plant Regensburg. This facility also manufactures the high-voltage batteries specifically for the electric variant. Notably, the Regensburg plant has become a pioneer in the automotive industry. It’s the first to implement an end-to-end digitalized and automated process using AI-controlled robots for inspecting, processing, and marking painted vehicle surfaces. This advancement signifies a major step towards the plant’s transformation into a fully digital and intelligently connected facility, which BMW refers to as the “BMW iFactory.”
