BMW Dismisses X2 Coupe, Cabriolet And Mercedes X-Class Rival As “Rumors And Speculations”

A report claiming that BMW might follow in the footsteps of the Range Rover Evoque Coupe and Cabriolet, with similar versions of the smaller X2, emerged earlier this week.

However, since it seems highly unlikely that the automaker would tap into that niche of the compact segment for crossovers, we reached out to the brand’s Media and Public Relations Manager for X-Models, xDrive, Accessories and Acoustic, Christophe Koenig.

“Regarding a BMW X2 3-door or convertible, these are only rumors and speculations, which we can’t confirm”, Koenig said.

At a first glance, the statement appears to dismiss such versions of the X2, but rather than denying them flat out, the BMW official just said that they ‘cannot confirm them’. This leaves a very small door open for possible future derivatives of the crossover, although we wouldn’t bet on BMW actually making them.

In other related news, BMW doesn’t appear to be interested in challenging the likes of the Mercedes-Benz X-Class either, with their very own pickup truck.

Despite the “never say never” statement of the brand’s Australian Managing Director Mar Werner almost two years ago, when asked about such a vehicle, Koenig commented that “same goes for a BMW pickup truck”, namely rumors and speculations that they can’t confirm.
