Introducing all the Specs, Design, and Performance of the BMW X2
The BMW X2 is a compact SUV. With its beautiful, sporty coupe-like design, the X2 stands out among the many SUVs on the market. The unique color and solid style with a low center of gravity will turn heads, making this a truly stylish eccentric.
Let’s talk about the appeal, features, and specifications of the BMW X2.
Design and Operation of BMW X2
Although it is a compact car, its driving performance embodies the brand concept of “sheer driving pleasure” with its light handling and stable driving. The lower height of the car gives it a more solid and powerful ride, and getting in and out is also smart. It perfectly combines the high-quality aspects of a coupe.
The BMW emblem is placed on the C-pillar, giving the car a sense of the BMW Coupe’s traditional flow. Another attractive feature is the kidney grille on the front, which gives it a typical BMW look.
As for fuel economy, the X2 sDrive18i achieves a fuel consumption rate of 14.3km/L (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism approved value). The X2 is truly the compact SUV that is needed today, overcoming the common shortcomings of SUVs, such as a large body that makes it difficult to drive around town and poor fuel economy.
Specifications
The X2 is available in gasoline engine sDrive18i (grade: Standard, M Sport X), X2 xDrive20i (grade: M Sport X), X2 M35i, and diesel engine xDrive18d (grade: M Sport X). The common specs are as follows:
- 5 doors
- 5 seating capacity
- luggage compartment capacity 470L (1,355L with rear seats folded)
All models come standard with driving assistance features such as a lane departure warning system, forward vehicle warning system, and collision avoidance/damage mitigation braking.
We will now introduce more detailed features and specifications for each model and grade.
Features of Every Model
X2 sDrive18i
The only drive system is 2WD (front-wheel drive). Because the front is light, it can turn smoothly and provide a comfortable ride.

X2 xDrive18d
The drive system is 4WD. The fuel consumption rate achieved is 18.3km/l in JC08 mode (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism certified value), making it the most fuel-efficient of the four models.
Taking advantage of the diesel engine’s strength, its power, you can drive comfortably even in areas with many uphill sections.
X2 xDrive20i
The drive system is 4WD. Equipped with a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder BMW TwinPower Turbo gasoline engine, it offers impressive acceleration. Whether you’re driving around town or on a long drive, this car will give you a sense of enjoyment in driving.

The M Sport brakes, available exclusively on the M35i, deliver superior stopping performance. Additionally, the LSD (limited slip differential) provides smooth cornering performance. You’ll have the illusion that you’re driving on a circuit.
Features of Each Grade

Only 17-inch alloy wheels are available. Just because it’s a Standard model doesn’t mean it lacks in sportiness, and you can expect a comfortable ride that’s more than sufficient for driving around town.
M Sport X
Sportier lines.
The Frozen Grey wheel arches complement the attractive wheel design, creating a dynamic, sporty appearance.
The M Sport X comes standard with the M Sport suspension, which provides a lower center of gravity and a more direct setting to reduce body roll and ensure a sporty, agile driving experience.
Aesthetics of BMW X2

The coupe design leaves one concerned about the spaciousness of the interior, but there is ample legroom in the rear. The control display, which allows for intuitive operation, is positioned within natural reach even while driving. BMW ConnectedDrive allows you to drive safely and comfortably while checking important information.
