BMW begins cold weather testing for the X2

Even as you read this, the BMW X2 is being tested under cold weather conditions in Sweden. As the X2 is based on the X1, it is expected to share the same motors too. So, while the European market may get both petrol and diesel powerplants in three and four cylinder iterations, the US market will get the petrol versions. Visually, the nose of the X2 highlights a wide kidney grille with the head lamps aggressively angled towards it, along with wider intakes on the bumper. The German brand is expected to equip the X2 with both FWD and AWD variants, and also plans to have electric versions added to the line-up. The X2 is expected to hit showrooms internationally in 2018, and will be targeted at young buyers who will be lured to the sleek shape of this CUV.  According to several reports, the prices for the BMW X2 should be slightly higher than a top end X1, and bearing in mind the manner in which this segment is flourishing the world over, BMW India will hopefully also rope this model for the Indian market.
