BMW X2 / iX2 2024 | Prueba / Test / Review en español | coches.net

Today we are in Portugal and we have come to see the second generation of the BMW x2, a car that shares a platform with the BMW Diesel and also 100% electric versions today we have a lot of time let's try them let's drive them and I'll tell you all the news in a video perhaps a little shorter but there's no time so let's go there This is the second generation of the bmv x2 that for the first time it will have a 100% electric variant and2 is a larger car with a much more Coupé appearance than its predecessor with a completely renovated and more technological interior and with a lot of driving aids that make it one of the cars largest in its category, we are going to begin our review with the exterior, which is one of the most striking aspects. And in this new generation, the German sub Coupé grows almost 20 cm in length compared to the previous one, with a total length of 4.55 m. more typical of a C segment than a B, even the sports variant m35i xdrive is 2 cm longer due to more prominent bumpers, the new x2 is also 2.1 cm wider, 6.5 cm taller and its wheelbase is increased up to The 2.69 M with a width of tracks also widened to improve driving dynamics in its front, the new almost hexagonal grille that can be illuminated in its contour and the LED headlights with a much thinner and more challenging design with their new vertical daytime aluminum signature this grill is closed in the 100% electric piano, which is the one that is most exposed in the m35i version, four exhaust spits are added that look really good, as well as the spoiler in the lower part of the rear window, the rear lights with a well-worked format are curious and are complemented with some Widened rear wheel arches that give it a lot of visual muscle. It can mount wheels from 17 to 20 inches as standard depending on the trim level and optionally up to 21 inches to give it even more character. The interior is also inherited from the BMW X1 with practically the same elements. where this infotainment system stands out above all with two screens in curved format, one for the instrument panel and the other for the multimedia system, which by the way is great, it is super fast, very visual but it does not have buttons, for example for the air conditioning, but in this case BMW has the has put in this part here that is very easy to access and it is really better than other cars that you have to enter in the menu, otherwise we find ourselves with very good quality materials, highlighting above all these BMW steering wheels that are incredibly fantastic. signed by m for me one of the best on the market and then a series of materials that are very well crafted everything is padded even here in The doors have a certain relief on the dashboard and everything everything everything It is very well finished and gives an impression of quality we have this floating center console that also offers a lot of space below to leave objects here we have drink holders and even this area here to leave the mobile phone safely is a very pleasant interior with a relative feeling of space but for tall people like me these seats They are very comfortable and sporty. Even in the lowest position they are a little high and in this case I practically have my head on the ceiling. So I have to stretch out a little but the front visibility is very good. Although the rear visibility is a little bit handicapped by a narrow rear window in height But hey, it's not bad at all, the design of the driving position is very focused on the driver with special attention to digitalization with the curved screen as standard in all versions with an instrument panel and infotainment system. The screen is touch-sensitive and benefits from voice control with the BMW intelligent personal assistant, which is also standard. We find it to be a very complete multimedia system, one of the best on the market, both in terms of options, fluidity and resolution, very easy to use and even with different display modes in the dashboard, the seats can be made of fabric or leather depending on the finish or extra chosen, as well as being able to be fitted with even more sporty cut seats with options such as electric adjustment or massage, dual-zone climate control, navigation and the steering wheel. The sports car that we like so much comes as standard. The second row offers enough space for two adults in its two side seats with good knee distance but with a slightly compromised height for taller people. The Central Plaza can be used sporadically now. which is much less comfortable both in terms of height and padding. As for the trunk, the capacities change depending on whether we are talking about the new x2 or the x2. In both cases, the opening is electric from the factory, but in the combustion versions the capacity is greater, the x2 offers from 560 l to 170 by folding the rear seats. Although the access version of the Drive 20i is only 515 l because the double bottom is lost by placing the microhybrid system battery there in the x2, the trunk capacity goes from 525 l to 1400 for the launch there are two gasoline versions and one diesel in gasoline there is a three-cylinder 170 horsepower microhybrid and the aforementioned m35i x Drive with 300 horsepower with four-wheel drive and in diesel the s Drive 18d with 150 horsepower all engines combustion engines are combined with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and, for its part, the new BMW ix2 comes with the most powerful version of 313 horsepower and two motors with a 64.8 kbh battery and a range of up to 450 km. Well, I'm behind the wheel of the BMW i It's good that it can be disconnected but it doesn't even bother it. It's pleasant and it makes the sensation of speed a little bit, well, it's a little more used and it doesn't happen to us that many times we go faster than we should because since there is no sound, well, you confuse us. Both x2 and y2 share the same chassis with the electric model but some of the things I mention are also common for the thermal versions So we continue with the x2 we have 313 horsepower which is not bad at all and the truth is that the car responds very well with enough forcefulness to even have fun good at the wheel Look, it's one of the typical ones that sticks you to the seat And that offers a quite diverse impact in the m35i the power delivery is not as impressive as in the electric one but it is accompanied by a nice exhaust sound and Sporty both models are They feel somewhat heavy, the first exceeds 1700 kg and the second 2000. But I insist, the tuning of the chassis is very good and they convey a lot of confidence. This is a car that, when I drive it, looks more like a saloon than a compact car rather than a compact car. sup aluso as we are used to, if it were not for this fairly high dominant position I would tell you that its behavior is much more dynamic than expected And that is in part because it has an excellent chassis tuning and also has driving modes that vary both the throttle response such as the hardness of the steering wheel or even the suspension, therefore we have a car that can be very comfortable to travel on the highway for example or a car with a certain sporty tinge that even allows you to have a really good time, the x2 does not have gears but there are several modes of energy regeneration during braking or deceleration as well as different driving modes, as well as in the x2 the gasoline model has paddle shifters on the steering wheel to use the change sequentially and at the steering level it is a delight with precise and effective fast guidance in terms of the suspensions, I must say that they are effective and at the same time comfortable to use on a day-to-day basis, for its part, the body rolls a little taking into account the height of the car but the level of traction is spectacular in the gasoline version that we have been able to test. Also in this presentation we have paddles on the steering wheel to manage the gears but here in this 100% electric version we only have a paddle on the left side, it is a paddle that says Boost here, which is like a turbo or like a Nitro from a video game and what it does is that when we press it the car gives us 10 seconds of maximum power as an extra and when you put the pedal to the metal in Boost, my goodness, you shoot out, it's incredible Well, yes, I'm starting to like cars electric well the normal x2 too I think it is an attractive car to look at with sporty touches Even in its behavior With a pleasant interior very technological with more equipment than before and above all well finished and this At what price Well the cheapest in quotes will be the 150 horsepower diesel with a price that starts at 45,600 and the most expensive the m35 i x Drive that is offered from 71,800 as for the i2 the launch version starts at 58,000 but the next one that will arrive will be less powerful and more economical Well then we arrive In the end, and as you have seen, there are many new features, we have tested the car, we have shown it to you, and now we want to know what you think of the new BMW In the comments below you tell us what you think of the car and we will read it to you.
