Soon after the European and U.S. launches of the 2024 BMW X2 and iX2, the car manufacturer’s online configurators for the combustion models have been released. As we’ve come to expect from BMW in recent years, neither the X2 nor the iX2 are particularly nice to look at, which made us wonder, just how ugly can you make the SUV look?
To find out, we jumped on the German configurator and started with the base X2 sDrive20i. For the color, we have opted for Utah Orange Metallic, an €890 ($938) option that looks especially garish and doesn’t suit a vehicle like this at all. Some pretty dramatic wheel designs are also available for the 2024 X2. We’ve gone with the basic 18-inch 865 wheels with a silver finish.
A selection of different interior themes is available for the new X2. Some of them are quite nice but to ensure our X2 makes as bold a statement as possible, we have gone with the red and black interior trim and a white dashboard panel with red and blue pinstripes.

Not all 2024 BMW X2 models will look as questionable as ours. In fact, the flagship X2 M35i xDrive showcased by BMW looks much better with its more aggressive bodykit and clad in a stunning shade of matte blue.
Versions of the new X2 that will be available to shoppers depend on the market. In the United States, the entry-level model takes the form of the xDrive28i powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 241 hp and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. U.S. buyers seeking more power then have the option of the X2 M35i xDrive which has a juiced-up 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 312 hp and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm).
A single version of the electric iX2 will initially be sold in Europe and other overseas markets. It has front and rear electric motors that combine to deliver 309 hp and 364 lb-ft (494 Nm) of torque.
