BMW recently held an international media launch for the 2024 X2 in Lisbon, Portugal, and has generously published almost 200 new images of the crossover coupe. Whether these photos will be sufficient to persuade consumers of the vehicle’s unconventional exterior design remains to be seen.
Of the two X2 models showcased, you’ll likely notice the high-performance X2 M35i first. Painted in a color dubbed Frozen Tampa Bay Green, while we don’t anticipate many BMW buyers opting for this color, it certainly makes a dramatic statement.
Contrasting the green paint are several black elements across the exterior, including the front grille, air intakes, and part of the bumper. It is also equipped with black wing mirrors and rocks a set of unique wheels with black and silver elements.

The Brooklyn Grey model is the iX2 xDrive30. It looks very similar to the combustion-powered models and the xDrive30 is the only configuration the iX2 is available in. It sports electric motors at both the front and rear axles and delivers a combined 309 hp and 364 lb-ft (494 Nm) of torque, allowing it to hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in a respectable 5.6 seconds and a 112 mph (180 km/h) top speed.
Providing the two motors with their juice is a 64.8 kWh battery pack. BMW says the iX2 xDrive30 can travel between 259 miles and 279 miles (417 km – 449 km) on a single charge. Sadly for U.S. buyers, the iX2 will not be sold locally.
Two versions of the combustion version are available stateside. The first of these is the xDrive28i with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder rated at 241 hp and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque while coupled to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission driving all four wheels. The X2 M35i ups the performance stakes with 312 hp and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) from its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder.
In the U.S., the X2 xDrive28i starts at $42,995, while the more powerful M35i is priced from $52,395. Both MSRPs include a $995 destination fee.
