The BMW iX2 xDrive30 all-electric Sports Activity Coupé debuts with up to 449 km of range

11 October 2023, 02:17:57

BMW announced the second generation of its X2 Sports Activity Coupé (SAC), which for the 2024 model year will include an all-electric model - the BMW iX2 xDrive30. The worldwide market launch will get underway in March 2024 and in the summer of 2024, a second fully electric variant 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. Together they generate a system output of 230 kW/313 hp (including temporary boost) and a system torque of 494 Nm (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 impressive 64.8 kWh of usable energy and the high efficiency of the drive system enables a range of 417 – 449 km (259 – 279 miles) in the WLTP cycle. The new BMW iX2 xDrive30 rides as standard on 17-inch light-alloy wheels with an aerodynamically optimised design.

Adaptive recuperation and the MAX RANGE function also contribute to the outstanding range figures. The latest version of the Max Performance Charging software optimises above all efficiency when charging the car. Added to which, the fully electric SAC is equipped to use the Plug & Charge Multi Contract function. And the new Connected Home Charging Package for load- and solar-optimised 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. The X2 series has a distinctive, visually expressive design. The second generation has grown in size, including an increased wheelbase and wide tracks that result in increased interior space and boot capacity. The BMW iX2 offers between 525 and 1,400 litres.

The front design is dominated by striking LED headlights and an almost hexagonal BMW kidney grille, which – a first for the premium compact segment – can be specified as an option with BMW Iconic Glow contour lighting. Also on the options list are Adaptive LED Headlights with non-dazzling matrix high beams. The roofline, which flows along an unbroken path into the rear end, creates a slim, coupé-shaped silhouette and proportions in the signature style of an SAC from BMW. At the rear, the prominently flared wheel arches and muscular shoulders come to the fore. The horizontal contours of the model-specific rear light design further enrich the sporting flavour, as do a Gurney-style spoiler and an eye-catching rear apron.

M-specific design features such as the two pairs of exhaust tailpipes integrated into the rear apron give the BMW X2 M35i xDrive a particularly dynamic aura. An M Sport package is available for all other model variants, including the new BMW iX2, and likewise brings aerodynamically optimised exterior details. Also on the options list is the M Sport package Pro, which adds extended M High-gloss Shadowline exterior trim, M lights Shadowline, an M rear spoiler and an M Sport braking system with red-painted callipers, among other features.

The interior of the new BMW X2 has a modern premium ambience with sporting touches. The slender instrument panel, housing the BMW Curved Display, is joined in the cabin by a “floating” armrest with integral control panel. In the front section of the centre console are two cup holders and a smartphone tray with indirect illumination and wireless charging.

The newly developed seats are also offered in the Veganza perforated variant and Vernasca leather with attractive quilting as alternatives to the standard cloth upholstery. Customers can also specify sport seats, electric seat adjustment with memory function, lumbar support and a massage function. Further improvements have been made to both acoustic comfort and occupant protection. Standard equipment now includes an interaction airbag between the driver’s seat and front passenger seat.

The latest version of the BMW iDrive display and control/operation system featuring QuickSelect rapid-access tech is fitted in the new BMW X2. Based on BMW Operating System 9, it is packaged together with the BMW Curved Display and BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, meaning it has been carefully geared to operation using the touchscreen and natural language. BMW Operating System 9 also paves the way for a highly customisable selection of additional digital services. With BMW ConnectedDrive Upgrades, customers can enjoy a free one-month trial of selected functions, after which they are able to add them for a specific period of time. The new BMW Digital Premium offering can also be obtained from the BMW ConnectedDrive Store for the new BMW X2.
