2024 BMW X2 M35i xDrive
The BMW X2 is the car that first introduced the vehicle concept of a Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) for the premium compact segment. And now the even more distinctive, even sportier, and even more forward-looking second generation is taking to the stage.
Significantly larger dimensions and a pronounced coupé silhouette clearly showcase in its exterior design the development leap taken by the new BMW X2. The progressive character of the new model is also evident in the large spread of systems enabling automated driving and parking.
And in the innovative digital services laid on by the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and BMW Operating System 9.
The worldwide market launch will get underway in March 2024 with the BMW X2 M35i xDrive performance model, one other petrol option (the BMW X2 sDrive18i for South Africa), and one diesel model.
Unfortunately, the BMW iX2, the all-electric version of the X2, will not be offered in South Africa.
M-power
The performance model in the range will be available from the launch of the new BMW X2, and is set to bring the compact SAC’s dynamic nature even more prominently to the fore.
The new BMW X2 M35i xDrive is an alluring proposition. Its 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine produces a maximum output of 233kW.
The new BMW X2 M35i xDrive sprints to 100km/h from rest in 5.4 seconds. M-specific chassis tuning teams up with BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive to deliver sublime performance characteristics. Its standard adaptive M suspension enhances both agility and long-distance comfort, says BMW.
M Compound brakes are offered as an option.
Near-actuator wheel slip limitation is fitted as standard across the new BMW X2 range, benefiting both traction and directional stability.
Other new features include the integrated braking system and the extra, lift-related damping at the front axle. The optional adaptive M suspension features frequency-selective damping, sport steering, and a 15mm drop in ride height.
Light-alloy wheels range in size from 18 to 21 inches.
