The All-New 2018 BMW X2 is a Unique New Type of Luxury in Pleasanton

What have California drivers been asking for? A new kind of luxury crossover: one that was spacious and capable enough to handle wild adventures on the weekend, but that was compact and practical enough for your weekday commute through the city; something powerful and fun, that could handle rush-hour traffic in comfort. And while the BMW lineup of SAVs and Sports Activity Coupes offered a great selection of options, there was one small niche missing.

But, no more. The all-new, first-ever 2018 BMW X2 Sports Activity Coupe is a perfect addition to the Pleasanton area, offering a stunning new way to drive and live life in the Bay Area. It joins the lineup of sleek-backed crossovers like the X4 and the X6, and is the smallest BMW luxury crossover in production.

An X-Series-Inspired Interior

Unsurprisingly, the new BMW X2 draws on the design cues and signature styling of the overall X Series for its cabin décor--but you may be surprised to see just how much this subcompact crossover can fit, and how much it has to offer. The BMW X2 is decked out with easy-care SensaTec upholstery, but premium leather seating surfaces are available. Heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate controls, and a smart, convenient layout of infotainment system buttons, knobs, and selectors make for comfortable commutes and a higher level of enjoyment on longer trips.

BMW's Freshest Design

You might have to look twice at the all-new 2018 X2. While models like the X4 and the X6 boast very similar styling and recognizable designs, the BMW X2 stands out as something quite unlike any other. It has a compact and tight body dynamically engineered for speed smooth performance. But, this sporty crossover doesn't have the same dramatic slope at the rear as other SACs in the BMW lineup, preferring a gentler roofline that's styled more closely to the conventional SAV. Dual exhaust tips, LED lighting, and an all-new inverted dual kidney grille help it to stand out even further. The M Sport X Package customizes the exterior with a panoramic moonroof, 20" M double spoke wheels, and an optional M-specific spoiler. Exclusive colors and design accents include a new Misano Blue Metallic paint, Frozen Gray accents, and BMW's Shadowline treatment.

BMW Turbo Power and Performance

The familiar, SAV powertrain doesn't take away from the smooth and car-like driving experience of the BMW X2. This small performance Sports Activity Coupe is good for 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired to a standard 8-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel-drive X2 models boast a 0 - 60 time of 6.6 seconds, while xDrive all-wheel-drive models are good for a sprint time of just 6.3 seconds. An available sport-tuned suspension and optional adaptive dampers round out the look and feel of this impressive sport crossover.

Technology and Safety Features

The smart new 2018 X2 is packed with the latest tech from BMW, including an updated iDrive touch-screen infotainment system, available 4G LTE WiFi hotspot capability and Apple CarPlay integration, BMW Connected+, and an optional Head-Up Display to streamline necessary information. An available Driver Assistance Package equips the new BMW X2 with features like forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane-departure warning.
