宝马在去年巴黎车展发布了X2概念车，而其量产版将于今年年底前发布。目前，宝马正在对X2进行一系列测试。最近谍照记者在德国纽伯格林赛道拍到了正在测试的X2，该车外观有所变化，车顶线条不再向其他车型一样向后倾斜，因此后排头部空间和行李箱容积不会受到影响。虽然新车实用性并未获得大幅提升，但同时，X2与X1也就不存在什么区别了。宝马承诺，X2量产版将保留概念版的绝大部分设计，不过量产版不会采用21英寸轮圈和棱角分明前大灯。预计X2将采用比X1更具侵略性设计，换言之，新车将比X1更高端一些，当然，从技术角度看，两款车没有什么区别。X2将于明年上市，同时宝马明年还将推出更大的旗舰级车型X7。
2018 BMW X2 Spied Riding Low At The Nurburgring
In 2014, BMW downsized the formula with the launch of the X4 and they are about to do it a third time with this — the X2. Previewed at last year’s Paris Motor Show by a namesake concept, the production version will likely debut before the year’s end and until then it will undergo a series of tests to make sure it will live up to the success of its bigger brothers.
By the looks of it, the roofline won’t be as inclined towards the rear as it is on the bigger models, so headroom in the back and the trunk’s capacity won’t have to suffer so much. The fact that practicality won’t significantly decrease is certainly good news, but at the same time some will say the X2 won’t be able to differentiate itself enough from the X1.
BMW has made the promise to retain most of the concept’s design on the road-going model, sans the beefy 21-inch wheels and the angular headlights. In other words, expect the production X2 to adopt a more aggressive design than the regular X1. Needless to say, the new crossover in BMW’s ever growing lineup will command a premium over the standard model, although from a technical point of view the two cars will be very much the same.
The X2 will go on sale in 2018 and will be joined the same year by the large X7 acting as the flagship SUV in the company’s portfolio.
