The Bavarian auto industry, represented by BMW, is positioning the luxury compact crossover BMW X2 2021 as a car that combines the advantages of a coupe body with the operational reliability of proprietary developments of the X series.
The new model is focused on the interests and demands of young motorists who value comfort, premium driving performance and high road safety in their personal vehicles. The coupe-like layout of the crossover can provide a theoretical and practical basis for the creation of new premium models.
Exterior
The asset of the new crossover is a practical business style, moderately diluted with elements of sports dynamics and aggressiveness typical for modern SUVs. In the photo, in the brightest and most expressive front view, the BMW X2 of 2021 model looks the most presentable. In the spotlight:
• stepped sidewall profiles of a wide bonnet with a rounded front edge;
• vertical slats of the branded «nostrils» of the radiator grille;
• drop-shaped contours of two-element blocks of LED frontal optics.
The layout and design features of the front end include classic round sidelights, a massive silver perimeter of the lower ventilation duct closed with a textured mesh, racing format of side diffusers.
A well-thought-out combination of decorative chrome and stepped details forms a positive perception of the front side of the body. Judging by the feedback from the participants in the presentation, the restyling of the crossover was recognized as successful by a majority of votes.
In the profile projection, the new body demonstrates the characteristic features of the corporate hatchback layout with the latest design solutions. At first glance, attention is drawn to:
• dynamic domed roof slope falling to the stern;
• window sills of three-section side glazing ascending to the rear pillars;
• stylish mirrors and wave horizontal body relief profiles.
The crossover style of the novelty has identified itself with the height of the window block and off-road clearance, the presence of protective plastic inserts in the square wheel arches and the design of two-tone 17- or 19-inch aluminum-composite wheels.
Similar design and layout solutions dominate the rear of the body. Available — a small semi-oval format, supplemented by a visor spoiler, a rear window, a tailgate decorated with brand symbols and chrome nameplates.
The aft design also boasts an exclusive configuration and premium lantern graphics.
The bumper has a niche for placing a license plate; The powerful figured body kit includes fog lamps, air diffusers and a large-caliber twin tailpipes.
Interior

• The premium configuration of the tunnel includes a block of ports for connecting digital peripherals, an expanded list of comfort-forming organizers, including a soft armrest and a spacious refrigerator compartment.
The service functionality of the carefully profiled and ergonomic first row seats offers lateral support, an extended range of adjustments, and heating and ventilation circuits.
The advantages of a spacious three-seater sofa are the backrest tilt and a folding armrest. Unfortunately, the high “crest” of the tunnel creates discomfort for the middle seat rider.
