Serving as the initial all-electric rendition of the BMW X2, the BMW iX2 xDrive30 introduces digital innovation with the implementation of an Android Open Source-based control system for the first time.

The electric Sports Activity Coupé packs a solid punch

The iX2 xDrive30 features a dual-motor setup, delivering all-wheel-drive capability and generating a combined output of 313hp and 494Nm of torque.

With a 66.5kWh battery pack onboard, the iX2 xDrive30 offers an impressive range of up to 449km according to the WLTP cycle. Recharging the battery is convenient and efficient, with DC charging support of up to 130kW. This enables the battery to go from 10% to 80% state of charge in just 29 minutes. Additionally, AC charging at up to 11kW is supported, allowing for a full charge from 0% to 100% in approximately six hours and 30 minutes.

The interior is nothing short of amazing, either

The BMW iX2 xDrive30 boasts a standard BMW Curved Display powered by the latest BMW Operating System 9. This cutting-edge system features the advanced BMW iDrive display and integrates the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant.

The intuitive user interface includes a new home screen with a flat menu, providing quick access to frequently used functions through variably configurable live widgets.

Driving Assistant Plus utilises camera and radar-based technology to offer features such as Active Cruise Control, Steering and Lane Control Assistant, and Lane Departure Warning with active steering intervention. Meanwhile, Parking Assistant Plus utilises camera and ultrasound sensors for advanced parking assistance, including parking view and Remote 3D view.
