BMW iX2 2023-2024.
In the near future, another novelty will appear in the line of the Bavarian brand — the all-electric crossover iX2.
Note that a new generation BMW X2 is currently under development. Last fall, the designer imagined what the next “X-second” might look like (renders were created based on “spy” photos of the prototype).
It is expected that the second-generation SUV will have a coupe-like body, a relatively long rear overhang and a sloping glass on the tailgate.
It is assumed that the front end will be decorated in the style of the current BMW X1, which, along with its completely “green” version of the iX1, debuted at the beginning of last summer.
However, the “front end” will not be completely repeated: for example, the new “X second” will receive a different head optics, a different hood shape, and also, most likely, the original radiator grille, which in any case will be designed in the form of branded “nostrils”.
There is not much information about the BMW iX2 crossover yet. Most likely, he will receive the same coupe-shaped body as the «regular» new X2.
On the list of differences, there will likely be a cap styled like a traditional family grille, exterior details like the iX1’s blue decor elements, and the absence of exhaust pipes in the lower part of the stern.
According to Bimmer Today, which refers to representatives of the company, the release of the model will begin towards the end of this year (there is no more exact date yet).
The “green” novelty will come off the same conveyor on which the production of the BMW iX1 is launched, we are talking about a plant in Regensburg (Germany).
The Bavarian manufacturer also said that it plans to invest more than 350 million euros in the enterprise and expand the staff by about 500 new employees.
According to the company’s calculations, already in 2024, electric vehicles produced at the facilities of this plant will account for about a third of the total number of locally registered cars.
The remaining two-thirds will be occupied by the BMW X1 and X2 with internal combustion engines. It is expected that the sale will be a version of the X2 M35i with a gasoline 2.0-liter turbo engine producing about 300 hp.
According to preliminary data, the “green” iX2 coupe crossover will share the equipment with the iX1 with a traditional roof.
Recall that it is equipped with a twin-engine unit (one electric motor on each axle), the total power is 313 hp. (494 Nm).
The already presented “electrocross” range on a single charge varies from 413 to 438 km (according to the WLTP cycle).
