As one of the most influential auto shows in the world, North America Auto Show attracts major auto giants to release new cars here every year, and this year is no exception. As one of the German troika, BMW first brought its new compact luxury SUV - BMW X2, which is based on the UKL front drive platform and positioned as a sports SUV.

In terms of styling, the classic double kidney grille design of BMW is continued. Compared with the brother model, the grille has a stronger sense of line, and the front face looks very powerful. The front bar also adopts color contrast design, further enriching the sense of hierarchy. The front lights continue the classic style of corner of the eye+angel eyes. The whole series is equipped with LED daytime driving lights as standard, which makes the front part of the car look very energetic.

The exterior design of BMW X2 has a strong sporty style, strong sense of lines, and a layered body. In order to strengthen the sports atmosphere, a large number of irregular line designs have been adopted, giving people a sense of strength from the inside out. It is worth mentioning that the drag coefficient of this car is only 0.28, which is the lowest in the BMW X series at present.

The length, width and height of the new car are 4360/1824/1526mm, and the wheelbase is 2670mm. The waistline design on the side of the car body is low in the front and high in the rear, reaching the highest at the rear. Due to the influence of the waistline design, the lower edge of the rear window rises significantly, so the width of the rear window is small and the area is relatively small. Users in the rear may have a slight sense of compression in their vision. However, the advantages of the lifting waist line are also very obvious, successfully creating a sense of movement to run forward. The demonstration car adopts 20 inch five wheel rims, and 17-20 inch versions of different sizes and styles will be available on the market.

It is worth mentioning that the BMW X2 has added the BMW logo at the back of the C-pillar and Hoffmeister corner. There is almost no such design in BMW's current service, which is also regarded as a tribute to BMW's classic BMW 2000 CS and other models.

Compared with the sporty appearance, BMW X2's interior style is relatively "simple", which is quite similar to the family style. However, there are some small changes in details, such as the redesigned steering wheel and the new gear lever. This new steering wheel is no stranger to users who are familiar with BMW, and will gradually become the standard configuration of BMW in the future. In addition, some new functions are added, such as lane departure prompt CarPlay、 Active braking, parking aid, etc.

In terms of power, BMW X2 is equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines. The former is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, and the latter is equipped with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. The maximum power of the 2.0T engine is 228 horsepower, the peak torque is 350 N · m, and the acceleration time from 0-97 km/h is 6.3 seconds. It provides three driving modes: Comfort, Eco Pro and Sport. According to BMW's current plan, this new car will be officially launched in China in the first half of 2018.
