The BMW X2 will not get a facelift, unfortunately. They immediately proceed with a successor.
Normally we know exactly what to expect at BMW. Introduction of a new model, then after 1.5-2 years new engines and infotainment updates, some new colors and options. Then again 1.5 years later the facelift – called Life Cycle Impulse – and then at the end of the career a few small minimal updates.
Today, however, BMW has so many models that it does not always succeed. In this case, the BMW X2 will not receive a facelift. The car debuted at the end of 2017 and went on sale in spring 2018. It hasn’t really been a sales boom since then.
The X1 is new
The BMW X1 – on which the X2 is based – was recently replaced. So you have to love the current X2 very much not to buy a more modern X1. In short, it is high time for a new BMW X2.
BMW confirms that the model is planned for 2023, it said Coach. Naturally, the car will share its basis with the X1. However, BMW is going to tackle the design quite a bit. Where the current BMW X2 is a stocky, burly crossover without a real coupe roofline, that will be different with the new BMW X2.
BMW X2 is not getting a facelift for a reason
It is now really a small X4 or very small X6. Look, then it is useful that the BMW X2 does not get a facelift, but that it immediately becomes a new model. Remodeling the front is still possible, but it is very difficult to tackle the C-pillar.
Finally, in terms of versions, we assume that BMW applies the well-known X1 powertrains, minus the loafers. However, the fully electric iX2 has been confirmed, with the powertrain of the iX1.
There is also a sporty top model. Car spotter Jeroen came across the BMW X2 M35i on the Nordschleife, where he could film the car. Judging by the four exhausts, this is the top model.
Incidentally, the BMW X2 is not the only BMW that never received a facelift. The BMW X5 of the F15 generation also did not receive a facelift, as did various M models.
