BMW shows first images of X2 coupe-SUV
BMW has previewed the forthcoming X2 coupe-SUV, which is due to launch in 2018.
The BMW X2 will launch in 2018.
Likely to be based on the same platform as the latest X1, the X2 appears to be a similar product to the larger X4 and X6, mixing raised SUV ride height with a coupe-like roofline. It joins an SUV line-up that accounted for a third of BMW’s global sales last year.
From launch, its closest rivals will be the Jaguar E-Pace and Range Rover Evoque. Engines could be shared with the X1, including the 150hp, 190hp and 231hp 2.0-litre diesels, as well as a line-up of petrol alternatives. Trim levels are likely to exclude SE, as the X4 and X6 also lack this version.
Official fuel consumption and CO2 emission figures have not been released yet, but expect the latter to range from around 110-115g/km.
