The all-new BMW iX2 has been unveiled by the German premium automaker, in addition to the existing gasoline and diesel options under the X2 nameplate.
The worldwide market launch will get underway in March 2024 with the all-electric BMW iX2 xDrive30. In summer 2024 a second fully electric variant will be added to the line-up.
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 new BMW iX2 sees the BMW Group further accelerating the ramp-up of electric mobility. Added to which, the progressive premium character profile of the compact SAC is underscored by further advances in sustainability encompassing the complete vehicle lifecycle – from resource-preserving production through the use phase to subsequent recycling.
The new BMW iX2 has a distinctive, visually expressive design showing clear differentiation from the brand’s compact Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV), the BMW iX1. It measures 4,554 millimeters long, 1,845 mm wide, and 1,560 mm tall. The new iX2 offers load capacity between 525 and 1,400 litres.
The BMW iX2 xDrive30 features two highly integrated drive units – one at the front axle and one at the rear – with a combined system output of 230 kW/313 hp (including temporary boost), and 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 enable a range of 417 – 449 kilometres (259 – 279 miles) in the WLTP cycle.
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 iX2 xDrive30 rides as standard on 17-inch light-alloy wheels with an aerodynamically optimised design.
The latest version of the BMW iDrive display and control/operation system featuring QuickSelect rapid-access tech is fitted in the new BMW iX2.
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 iX2.
BMW Digital Premium means customers can enjoy in-car use of all the apps available in their country, e.g. for music streaming, video streaming, news or gaming, on a subscription basis. The optional package also covers data usage for all digital services and the apps available from the BMW ConnectedDrive Store, including music and video streaming.
The Augmented View function is available as an optional add-on for the cloud-based BMW Maps navigation system. In addition to this, a Personal eSIM designed for 5G mobile technology, the BMW Digital Key Plus, the BMW ID functionality and standard smartphone integration using both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also all available.
