宝马正在继续扩大旗下SUV车型阵容,不仅将增加更多高性能车型,而在今年巴黎车展发布的X2概念车也将于2018年变身量产版。该车定位在X1和X3之间,这款X2 SAV将与X1共享UKL平台,但外观更漂亮,甚至增加了高性能选装件。最终量产版仍将保留概念版的独特造型。该车将配备21英寸轮圈和棱角分明前大灯,专属双肾格栅,棱角分明车顶,仍将保留更锐利前脸。而车顶扰流器和更高腰线则过渡到新的尾灯组。该车动力系统将与X1共享,包括1.5/2.0升直列四缸涡轮增压以及2.0升直列四缸涡轮柴油引擎。入门级的sDrive18d标配前轮驱动,而其他版本则提供全轮驱动。宝马将于明年底发布X2,这款车将主要面向年轻消费者,提供新的外观设计和动力强劲引擎。该车售价预计为3.5万美元,高于X1的3.3万美元,低于X3的3.9万美元。
Production BMW X2 SUV will keep its concept looks
BMW is expanding its SUV lineup – and we’re not just talking about more performance models. The X2 concept we saw at the Paris Motor Show back in September will be shedding it concept sheetmetal for a production run sometime in 2018.
Slotted snugly between the X1 and X3, the X2 "Sports Activity Vehicle" will ride on the same XKL platform that underpins the X1, but introduce a flashier look, and even more performance options. In the transfer from concept to production, though, Auto Express reports that it shouldn’t lose much of that unique styling.
Apart from the departure of features like 21-inch wheels and angular headlights, the unique kidney grille, the angular roofline, and the sharper fascia should remain. The introduction of a roof spoiler and a higher waistline that transitions into a new set of taillights will also accompany the production version.
Under the hood, the X2 will share its engines with the smaller X1, including the 1.5-liter inline-three turbo, the 2.0-liter inline-four turbo, and the 2.0-liter inline-four diesel turbo. Front-wheel drive will be offered on the base sDrive18d variant, while all-wheel-drive will be available on all other trims.
The X2 will make its debut towards the end of 2017, and will be aimed at a younger audience with its fresh design and powerful-enough engines. Reports suggest that the new X2 will start at somewhere around $35,000 to slot it just above the $33,000 X1, and just below the more expensive X3, which starts at $39,000.
