BMW is working on a new X2 model. It is expected to be a sporty-looking car, which will be previewed in its concept form early 2016, before it goes on sale internationally, late next year. The X2 will share the new BMW X1’s platform.
In details given to our sister publication Autocar UK, BMW officials have confirmed that the X2 will get a uniquely styled steel body, following the example of the larger X4 and X6. The X6 was sold in India until 2014.
The new BMW X2 will feature a five-door layout, with its tailgate set at an extreme angle than the
X1 giving it a coupé-like silhouette. It will initially be offered with a range of four-cylinder engines. The addition of the more economical three-cylinder units within the first year is a possibility. The engines will be mated to either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic gearbox, in combination with front or four-wheel drive.
The X2 will be produced alongside the new X1 at BMW’s Regensburg factory in Germany.
