2018 BMW X2 Confirmed For India Launch

BMW India has confirmed that it is all set to bring the X2 SUV to India in 2019. The X2 is part of the 19 models that the company plans to launch in the country next year. The X2 will also add to the 'X' range of vehicles for the carmaker in the country and this will see it ride the SUV trends currently prevalent in the market. Termed as a Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV), the BMW X2 retains the swanky styling and fastback roofline from its older siblings, while sharing its underpinnings with the BMW X1. The X2 is based on the UKL 2 platform and its overall silhouette is low-cost-slung, very similar to the previous generation X1.

There is a 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports all the major functions including iDrive, while a full Head-up display will also be on offer as optional.

The model is a front wheel drive with All-Wheel Drive available as optional. Power, on the other hand, comes from a host of options including the 2-litre petrol and diesel options, while there will also be the 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine shared with the Mini cars.
