The design of the BMW X2 has been revealed via leaked drawings submitted to the Japanese patent office.

These patent images, which we initially spotted on Carscoops, confirm what we’ve deduced from disguised prototypes, namely the production X2 will keep most of the details from the 2016 concept car, albeit with roadworthy wing mirrors, and proper door handles.


The computer generated model also features a toned down front fascia design, although the latest set of spy photos indicates the concept’s more aggressive design could be carried through to a sports model or an M styling kit.

The X2 will be the sportier and less practical companion to X1. As with the numerically lower crossover, the X2 will be based on the UKL front- and all-wheel drive platform that also underpins the 2 Series Active Tourer, the China-only 1 Series sedan, and the entire Mini range.
