BMW has revealed the latest entry in its X range — the X2.
The new model sits alongside the X1 as an entry-level option in the German manufacturer’s SUV line-up, offering a sleeker alternative to its stablemate.
The compact SUV is seven centimetres lower and two shorter than the X1, despite retaining an identical wheelbase.
Thanks to this, as well as a stretched roofline and a large kidney grille, it offers an aggressive appearance.
As for the rest of the exterior, full LED headlights come as standard equipment on most trim levels, along with 17-inch wheels — with M Sport and M Sport X models available with 20-inch alloys.
At the back of the car, a rear spoiler and twin exhaust pipes complete the dynamic package.
Inside the car, leather or Alcantara upholstery is available — with optional perforated leather highlights and LED ‘mood lights’ that can display orange, lilac, mint, bronze, blue or white depending on the atmosphere the driver wants to create.
Available at the X2’s launch is a single four-cylinder diesel engine, developing 187bhp and 400Nm of torque — taking the car from 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds and up to a top speed of 137mph. Fuel efficiency is a claimed 61.mpg with CO2 emissions of 121g/km.
Other engine options will be available in 2018.
Prices for the BMW X2 begin at £33,980 and will be available to order from mid-November, with delivery dates yet to be confirmed.
