The highly sculpted fascia prominently features BMW’s signature kidney grille, set low and chamfered into a hexagonal shape, with chunky vanes that angle backward to amplify the BMW “shark nose” effect. Laser technology in the headlamps allows them to be ultra-thin, according to BMW, although the blue X accents appear to have no function beyond looking like blue Xs. The X2’s rear end is blandly attractive, but it could be the back of an Audi or a Volvo or an Acura just as easily as a BMW.
BMW made no mention of what sort of interior fitments or power train the Concept X2 may have—it appears this vehicle is merely a styling buck. But it won’t be long before we see a more production-ready X2 appear, fleshed out inside and under the hood. We previously reported that BMW had confirmed plans to produce an X2based on the underpinnings of the X1, the X2 Active Tourer, and their corporate cousin from Mini, the Countryman. Thus, the production X2 will be based on front-wheel-drive mechanicals (although all-wheel drive might be standard) and, sadly, probably won’t be able to fit one of BMW’s legendary inline-six engines under the hood. Yet it’s safe to say that it will be sportier than the X1, and if this concept is any indication, it’ll be way sexier, too.
