Spied undergoing testing near the Arctic Circle, the 2024 X2 will transition from a glorified hatchback into a proper crossover coupe. While the model is still heavily camouflaged, it features a nearly vertical front fascia with a mesh grille and sweptback headlights. They’re joined by air curtains as well as a wide central intake with a vertical support in the center. Moving further back, there’s a rakish windscreen that flows into a steeply sloping roof. The model also sports streamlined bodywork, an angular shoulder line, and flush-mounted door handles.
The rear end is a radical departure as the
redesigned crossover has an angular rear window that directs air to a sizable
spoiler. Further below, there’s an
upright lower liftgate and wraparound taillights. Since this particular
prototype is the performance-oriented X2 M35i, it features a handful of special
touches including stylish wheels that are backed up by a braking system with
blue calipers. The model also sports a
lightly revised rear bumper and a four-tailpipe exhaust system.
Spy photographers haven’t gotten a good
look inside, but the cabin will likely follow in the footsteps of the X1. As a result, we can expect an upscale
interior with a Curved Display that consists of a 10.25-inch digital instrument
cluster and a 10.7-inch infotainment system. Engine options remain unconfirmed,
but we can expect a 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder with 241 hp and 400 Nm of torque. It should be paired to a
seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and an all-wheel drive system.
The X2 M35i could have a turbocharged
2.0-liter four-cylinder that develops approximately 302 hp and 450 Nm of torque. Spy
photographers have also snapped an electric variant and it’s expected to echo
the iX1, which has a 64.7 kWh battery pack that powers a dual-motor all-wheel
drive system developing a combined output of 308 hp and 494 Nm of torque. This enables
the model to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds and have a
WLTP range of up to 440 km.
