The BMW X2 has been spotted with basically no camouflage thanks to our spy photographers, who sighted a unit being transported on a trailer recently. The upcoming BMW SUV (or SAV as the carmaker prefers) was first previewed by the Concept X2 revealed at last year’s Paris Motor Show.
The X2 is being touted as a sleeker, more coupe-like version of the F48 X1, and it clearly shows when you look at it. For starters, the roofline appears lower than on the X1, and the rear window is more steeply raked as well.
At the front, the X2 differs itself from X1 thanks to slimmer headlamps and a smaller pair of kidney grilles. Furthermore, the lower apron isn’t divided into three sections, and the fog lamps feature a more prominent black plastic surround.
Viewed from the rear, the X2’s coupe-esque design becomes more apparent, highlighted by its own unique taillight shape. The tailgate appears smaller but a lot shapelier when compared to the X1, resulting in the number plate holder having to be positioned further down. Unlike the official teasers released by BMW, the car seen here doesn’t sport dual exhaust outlets.
Even though the X2’s exterior is discernibly different from the X1, the same can’t be said of its interior. Based on the previous spyshots of a test mule, the X2’s dashboard architecture looks near-identical to the BMW X1’s, along with the switchgear.
Like the X1, the X2 will ride on the front-wheel drive UKL platform, which is also used in the 2 Series Active Tourer and Gran Tourer. BMW’s range of turbocharged three- and four-cylinder engines are likely to be employed on the SUV. The X2 will join the exiting BMW SAV line-up, which includes the X1, X3, X4, X5 and X6 (an X7 is on its way as well). BMW has yet to confirm when the X2 will celebrate its global premiere, but based on this sighting, we reckon it shouldn’t be too long now.

This will probably end up as a cheap and affordable car in overseas. But come here, it becomes RM250k. Pity Malaysians.
All these car money collected gone out of the system and the amount of leakages arising from wastage spending, corruption, misappropriation, inflated prices for procurement, contracts and payments to rent-seekers.
hazri99 take your political crap out of the comment. This is an automotive blog.
The small tiny BMW so expensive… That why SimeDarby pls work fast by end-2017 CKD Hyundai KONA SUV at rm80k as at AUS … we mesia buyer will guaranteed no1 SUV sales in malaysia.
I hear ya bro. These jokers think they can export their Mkini filth into non relevant sites such as PT. Well, not on my watch.
This is the same guy who says
1) Malaysia has cheapest petrol in the world
2) cheapest car prices in the world
3) gomen quietly subsidizes our car insurance
4) Proton has no hutang and already paid all hutang
Prove me.
And pls give proof
There are reasons why this brand is luxury
Tax those who buys luxury car, no problem
Cheap? affordable? From a premium brand? Your head!
This is what happens when a BMW tries so hard to be a Subaru XV.
Seriously what is going on with BMW design nowadays. None of their cars look desirable anymore.
Not Bangle’s fault….
BMW X1 is 230K, BMW X3 is 290K.
how much BMW X2?
260k
They’ll introduce the 3cyl version only and sell it at 215k
U wish! The X1 engine will be similar with the X2 and I am not sure if they will CKD it here due to low demand. There’s more X5e hybrid compared to the X1 on the road. On a side note really pity to see that the X2 Interior will have no changes. The switchgear on the X1 sticks out like a sore thumb.
….hyundai i30 lookalike
It’s definitely camouflaged. It’s actually a Mazda camouflaged with BMW stick ons.
In short, better buy a Mazda CX5 & save some $$$ beside the texture & quality are softer/better too.
Spotted where?
Should have been a mini X6, just like what an X4 looks like.
The look is too close to X1.
So it’s basically a lower, sleeker version of the Hyundai Tucson at twice the price..
It is expensive here though cheap elsewhere because 1) we do not make them, assembly do not count 2) population and high-income individuals are relatively small hence also ‘the market’ 3) pricing and tax structure makes some products luxury when it should not be.
Proton failed while others succeeded because they saw the world as a market for their product and thus willing to compete.
Just like shark fins, stop eating n demand falls. Curb the buys, boycott and see what happens.. nothing last 4ever… viva to Les ‘misersbles us
The first 2 pics look more like a Hyundai than BMW…
i want but price???
curious why BMW put in FWD? Will that compromise handling ala BMW-like?
FUGLY!!!
SIMPLY. ugly
Sad case :'( but the looks of past bmw suvs look much sharper indeed
