The BMW iX2 will launch in March 2024 as the fully electric offering of a second-generation X2 line-up. The iX2 is 194mm longer and wider than the outgoing generation, pushing into midsize SUV territory at 4.55 meters in length. The vehicle also gains a longer wheelbase and broader tracks. The slanted roofline, combined with the rear spoiler, is a striking design element.
The iX2 features an iDrive 9 operating system that can receive over-the-air software updates. The front cabin is designed with soft touch points throughout, with interior materials like vegan leather seats amplifying the overall luxury feel of the car. The curved display, made up of a 10.25-inch infotainment screen and 10.7-inch digital information dash, is designed to ensure ease of use.
The X2 cargo space has seen a notable expansion, with a 90-liter increase resulting in 560 liters, upgrading to 1470 liters when the 60:40 rear seats are folded down. The iX2 boasts a slightly smaller luggage compartment, measuring 525 liters or 1400 liters with the rear seats folded.
Performance and range of the BMW iX2 eDrive20 and iX2 xDrive30 are similar, with both AWD iX2 models claiming a 0-100km/h sprint time of 5.6 seconds and a WLTP range of 449km. The battery can be efficiently charged from 10 to 80 percent capacity in under 30 minutes. Key luxury electric small SUV rivals include the Lexus UX300e (from $79,990) and the Volvo C40 (from $78,990).
