2024 BMW X2 M35i F39 South African Version

The BMW X2 is the car that first introduced the vehicle concept of a Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) for the premium compact segment. And now the even more distinctive, even sportier and even more forward-looking second generation is taking to the stage. Significantly larger dimensions, a pronounced coupé silhouette and dynamic lines clearly showcase in its exterior design 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 systems enabling automated driving and parking, and in the innovative digital services laid on by the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and BMW Operating System 9.

With its extrovert looks, the new BMW X2 fits the mould of the brand's Sports Activity Coupés. As the youngest member of the BMW X model family and one with particular emotional appeal, it embodies a youthful and progressive lifestyle. The broad spectrum of drive variants already available from the start of sales - from the fully electric BMW iX2 xDrive30 to the BMW X2 M35i xDrive forged by BMW M - extends the car's appeal into additional target groups. The new BMW X2 has everything it needs to clearly exceed the success of the predecessor model, more than 380,000 examples of which were sold worldwide, and in the process strengthen the brand's leadership claim in the growing compact Sports Activity Vehicle and Sports Activity Coupé segment.

The venue for the world premiere of the new BMW X2 and new BMW iX2 is the 2023 Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo (formerly the Tokyo Motor Show). The worldwide market launch of the compact SAC will get underway in March 2024. Alongside the BMW iX2 xDrive30 and BMW X2 M35i xDrive, customers will have one other petrol option and one diesel model to choose from at launch. In summer 2024 a second fully electric variant and another diesel-engined example will be added to the line-up.

Accelerating the ramp-up of electric mobility

The new BMW X2 plays the role of the emotionally engaging individualist in the premium compact segment and is well ahead of its competitors when it comes to design and technology. It is based on a flexible vehicle architecture which allows model variants with highly efficient petrol and diesel engines to be assembled on a single line alongside those with fully electric drive systems. The new BMW iX2 sees the BMW Group accelerating the ramp-up of electric mobility. The company now has at least one purely electrically powered representative in all relevant model segments. The BMW Group is aiming to have more than two million fully electric vehicles on the road by the end of 2025. In fact, by 2030 every second vehicle sold by the BMW Group worldwide should have an allelectric drive system.
