BMW Introduces Second-Generation X2 and All-Electric Variant IX2

BMW is introducing the second generation of its X2 “Sports Activity Coupé” (SAC), along with an all-electric variant, the BMW iX2. The new X2 features significantly larger dimensions and a pronounced coupé silhouette.

The worldwide market launch will get underway in March 2024 with the all-electric BMW iX2 xDrive30 (electric power consumption combined in the WLTP cycle: 17.7 – 16.3 kWh/100 km); BMW X2 M35i xDrive performance model (fuel consumption combined: 8.0 – 7.7 l/ 100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 181 – 174 g/km in the WLTP cycle); one other gasoline option and one diesel model. In summer 2024 a second fully electric variant and another diesel-engined example will be added to the line-up.

The BMW iX2 xDrive30 has two highly integrated drive units—one at the front axle and one at the rear—that together generate a system output of 230 kW/313 hp (including temporary boost), and system torque of 494 N·m (364 lb-ft).

The iX2 xDrive30 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.6 seconds on the way to a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph). A combination of the high-voltage battery’s 64.8 kWh of usable energy and the high efficiency of the drive system enable a range of 417 – 449 kilometers (259 – 279 miles) in the WLTP cycle.

Adaptive recuperation and the MAX RANGE function also contribute to the strong range figures. The latest version of the Max Performance Charging software optimizes above all efficiency when charging the car. The fully electric SAC is equipped to use the Plug & Charge Multi Contract function.

The new Connected Home Charging Package for load- and solar-optimized charging at home is also available for the BMW iX2.

 

The new BMW X2 and new BMW iX2 will be produced flexibly on a single assembly line at BMW Group Plant Regensburg. The high-voltage batteries for the fully electric model variant are also made at the Regensburg site.
