About the IX2

The BMW X2 is a subcompact luxury crossover SUV produced by BMW since 2017. It is marketed as a sports activity coupé (SAC), and is considered a sportier and less practical alternative to the X1, as is the case with other even-numbered X models with their respective odd-numbered counterparts. As of 2026, it is positioned between the X1 and the larger X3 in BMW's SUV global lineup.
