29 Jan 2018|2,929 views
The international media launch of the brand new BMW X2 took place in Lisbon, Portugal, ahead of the model's market launch in March 2018.
The location of Lisbon, one of the cultural hotspots of Europe, echoes the X2's bold, brave and rebellious character. The car is targetted primarily at the young and young-at-heart, an urban and active target group who are keen to see their personal character reflected on the road through an emotionally-engaging car.
The BMW X2 fuses the rugged profile typical of a BMW X model with the sporting grace of a coupe. Signature details include wheel arches with a squared-off look, striking exhaust tailpipes and accentuated side skirts, along with an elegant roofline, slick lines and slim window graphic.
The X2 also features a new M Sport X trim package, with two particular design features that catch the eye. The familiar trapezoidal kidney grille is turned on its head, as it broadens as it heads south. Also, there are additional BMW roundels on either C-pillar, a reference to classic BMW coupes such as the 2000 CS and 3.0 CSL.

The interior of the M Sport and M Sport X models is trimmed in an enticing Micro Hexagon fabric/Alcantara Anthracite combination with contrast stitching for the instrument panel and centre console. Also, the instrument cluster and large displays bring added flourishes to the interior and act as visual pointers to BMW's digital expertise.
BMW Connected and BMW ConnectedDrive Services are both available as an option for the BMW X2. Joining them on the options list is the full-colour BMW Head-Up Display.

The BMW X2 also offers customers cutting-edge technologies when it comes to driver assistance systems. Traffic Jam Assistant is part of the optional Driving Assistant Plus, which comprises a series of camera-based driver assistance systems.
The optional Parking Assistant is likewise designed to make life easier for the driver, automatically identifying suitable parking spaces and, if desired, taking over steering duties for the parking manoeuvre.
The sporty suspension of the BMW X2 transfers the fine agility and dynamics of the BMW drivetrain to the road. The M Sport and M Sport X models come as standard with M Sport suspension with firmer spring and damper settings and a lowered ride height. This feature is available as an option on the basic BMW X2. The optional Dynamic Damper Control allows the suspension settings to be tailored even more closely to individual tastes or requirements.
Further models will be added to the Sports Activity Coupe lineup in early 2018, in the shape of the three-cylinder X2 sDrive18i and the four-cylinder X2 xDrive20i, X2 sDrive18d and X2 xDrive18d.
In Singapore, we will be getting the X2 sDrive20i M Sport X variant at launch, which is expected to be the end of March. Subsequently, there will also be a sDrive20i M Sport variant. To find out about our driving impressions of the brand new X2, stay tuned for our upcoming first drive review on 5th February!
