The 2018 X2 can hope to offer
BMW’s UK customers something the X1 never did: a good-looking compact SUV.
Munich’s latest crossover is now available for order, with pricing starting at
£ 33,980 OTR for the xDrive20d SE, and BMW expects to shift around 6,000 units
in the UK this year.
Buyers opting for Sport, M Sport and M Sport X
models will enjoy full-LED headlights as standard, while the latter two specs
are also available with wheel sizes upwards of 20-inches. Meanwhile, standard
rims for the entry-level SE model are 17-inches in size, with a V-spoke design.
Both SE as well as Sport models receive black
cladding on the side skirts, whereas M Sport X version gets Frozen Grey
cladding. As for the rear, M Sport bumpers feature a diffuser-look cladding
inlay in Dark Shadow metallic, whereas the M Sport X gets a bespoke diffuser
insert in contrasting Frozen Grey.
Inside, while standard equipment on the SE trim
includes contrast stitching on the instrument panel and a high-gloss black
center console, M Sport models come with a Micro Hexagon fabric
Anthracite/Alcantara combo upholstery, boasting M piping in blue or yellow with
contrast stitching on the instrument panel and the center console. The SE also
gets a 6.5-inch Touch Control Display with navigation, rear Park Distance
Control and the rear-view camera with Vision Pack.
As for options, there’s the Driving Assistant that
includes Lane Departure Warning, Speed Limit Info with No Passing Info,
anti-dazzle High Beam Assistant as well as Collision Warning and Pedestrian
Warning with City Braking function.
Only one engine will be available at launch, the
xDrive20d with a 2.0-liter diesel producing 190 PS and 400 Nm of
torque and, as its designation shows, all-wheel drive as standard. Further
variants such as the sDrive20i, sDrive18d and xDrive18d will be added to the UK
lineup later this year.
