Extroverted aura, versatile sportiness and modern lifestyle characteristics in conjunction with an electric drive system can now also be experienced in the premium compact segment. The new BMW X2 xDrive25e is the first Sports Activity Coupe (SAC) to offer, in addition to outstanding efficiency, the option of locally emission-free mobility thanks to a plug-in hybrid drive concept. With a highly efficient electric motor and a lithiumion battery of the latest generation, the new BMW X2 xDrive25e achieves an electric range of up to 57 kilometres in the legal EU test cycle. Together, the electric motor and the combustion engine deliver a system performance of 162 kW/220 hp. Moreover, their intelligently controlled interaction facilitates a hybrid-specific, four-wheel drive system - a form of driving pleasure unparalleled within the competitive environment.
The market launch of the new BMW X2 xDrive25e will commence in July 2020. In addition to its groundbreaking drive technology, the plug-in hybrid model will feature a multitude of new design and equipment options, which in parallel also help enhance the attractiveness of the conventionally driven variant of the compact Sports Activity Coupe. A stylish new front end without fog lights underscores the SAC's sporty aura. LED headlights with integrated bad weather light improve visibility in adverse weather conditions. With a lifestyle-oriented charisma and sporty handling characteristics, the BMW X2 is geared more than ever to the demands of present-day target groups in the urban environment. The wide-ranging drive portfolio, which has been complemented for the first time by a plug-in hybrid system, is in keeping with the BMW Group's Power Of Choice approach and covers the various different needs of customers in the global automotive markets. It ranges from particularly efficient entry-level models featuring combustion and diesel engines, to the new plug-in hybrid model and the extremely sporty top model, the BMW X2 M35i with a maximum power output of 225 kW/306 hp.
