BMW iX2 EVs 2025: New Electric SUV Expands Company’s Electrification Horizons
When it hits the market, the BMW iX2 EVs will advance the company’s electrification plans, which include 12 fully electric vehicles by -2026. The second generation X2 will also be part of the Power of Choice movement, offering a powertrain for all types of consumers. BMW currently offers the X2 with an electrified powertrain in the form of the X2 Plug-in Hybrid.
BMW iX2 electric cars
Like the already confirmed iX1, the BMW iX2 EVs will be available with both front- and all-wheel drive. Power is expected to be around 180 hp (177 PS) for the FWD model, while the AWD iX2 may have around 250 hp (246 PS). Electric range is currently purely speculative, although AutoBild says it will be around 400 km on a full charge.
Design & Target Group
The BMW Group is expanding its “Power of Choice” drive strategy and offering four drive types – conventional (petrol/diesel), plug-in hybrid electric, battery-powered pure electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric on additional models. This will enable the next generation of the BMW X2 to run purely on electricity, offering consumers the freedom to drive their favorite Bimmer without exhaust emissions.
With short overhangs, coupe-like roofline and narrow window graphics, the BMW X2 appeals to young and extroverted customers who want a sportier SUV than the X1 . This should also be the design recipe for the next-gen model, including the BMW iX2. It is expected to have a lower drag coefficient (< 0.28 Cd) and become more technically sophisticated with BMW Curved Display with fully digital instrument cluster and central screen on a curved, one-piece display, BMW iDrive 8 OS, 5G and more.
Expected specifications
BMW’s plan for the X1-based models, which include the electric iX1 and iX2 as well as plug-in hybrid variants of the X1 and X2, runs on the completely redesigned FAAR architecture (Front Wheel Drive Architecture) compatible with combustion, plug-in hybrid and electric drives.
The BMW plant in Regensburg will start producing the new BMW X1 (codename U11) in . In addition, the company announced that its plant in Leipzig will prepare for the production of battery modules and high-voltage batteries starting this year.
Variants
BMW ‘s entry-level electric cars are expected to be available in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive variants, according to media reports. The FWD BMW iX2 could produce 180 PS (177 hp), while the AWD iX2 could have around 250 PS (246 hp). A scoop post by g80.bimmerpost.com forum member ynguldyn says that both iX1 and iX2 will be available in eDrive20 and eDrive30 variants, and according to a report from BMW Blog, their outputs would be under 200 PS and around 250 PS, respectively. Expect the former to be a single-motor FWD and the latter to be a dual-motor AWD variant.
Area
While range options are speculative, reports say the iX1 and iX2 could travel up to 400 km (245 miles) on a single charge, and no doubt these electric BMWs with the 400-volt architecture will offer at least 100+ kW fast charging (the BMW iX offers 200 kW fast charging). The PHEV models would improve immensely, as BMW is targeting a 100 km EV range with its future-generation PHEVs.
EV Strategy & Release Date
By the end of , the BMW Group aims to increase cumulative sales of its electric vehicles (BEVs) to two million units. Over the next ten years, the company (including the brands BMW , MINI and Rolls-Royce ) aims to have ten million battery-powered electric cars on the road.
With the BMW iX , BMW i4 , BMW X1 EV , BMW i7 Series EV , BMW i5 EV and MINI Countryman Electric due to go into production by , the BMW Group’s plate looks full for now. The all-electric BMW X2 may not hit the market until or later. The forecast according to g80.bimmerpost.com is that the current X2 (BMW F39) will remain in production until February . A purely electric variant may not appear until the launch of the second generation of the X2.
The BMW Group plans to offer an electric vehicle in 90% of today’s market segments by and increase that number to 100% by 2030. The company has set a goal of electric vehicles accounting for 50% of global sales by 2030. The automaker should initiate the third phase of its electrification strategy, starting with the platform-based “electric first” models of the New Class, which will be highly digital, more efficient, more cost-effective and more sustainably manufactured.
