2026 BMW X2 Performance & Specs.
BMW has earned its reputation around the world for building powerful engines. This year proves they haven't lost their touch - if anything, they've gotten even better. Both X2 models come with a smooth 7-speed automatic transmission. This transmission shifts seamlessly between gears, giving you that buttery-smooth acceleration BMW is famous for.
Every X2 also comes standard with xDrive. This is BMW's intelligent all-wheel drive system that automatically sends power where you need it most. When the roads get wet or snowy (and we know Tennessee weather can be unpredictable!), xDrive keeps you confident and in control.
The M35i sits at the top of the lineup with its BMW M TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder engine. This powerhouse produces an impressive 312 horsepower. You'll rocket from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds. The xDrive28i model starts things off with the base version of that same engine design. It delivers 241 horsepower, which honestly is plenty for most drivers. This model reaches 60 mph from a standstill in 6.2 seconds.
2026 BMW X2 Interior.
The biggest interior update for this year involves the new color options for the Veganza perforated upholstery. Smoke White looks stunning on its own, but it can also be combined with Atlas Grey accents. Then there's Castanea, which brings a rich, warm feeling to the cabin. These three new colors give you more ways to make your X2 truly yours.
Signature features return to elevate every drive. The Sky Lounge Panoramic Roof fills the cabin with natural light, while Ambient Lighting creates the perfect atmosphere. Heated, power-adjustable seats ensure personalized comfort for every passenger. And with Comfort Access Keyless Entry, slipping into your X2 is effortless.
Once inside, you'll appreciate the SUV-worthy storage throughout the cabin. Behind the rear seats, you have 25.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold those rear seats down, and you get 51.7 cubic feet of storage space.
2026 BMW X2 Exterior.
The X2 creates its own identity separate from the larger X3. Where the X3 focuses on traditional SUV proportions, the X2 takes a sportier, more athletic approach. The roofline has more attitude, and the whole vehicle just looks ready to move. The best exterior features from last year return to impress once again, such as the illuminated kidney grille and LED headlights and taillights.
Loading cargo is effortless with the standard power liftgate-simply wave your foot beneath the rear bumper, and it opens automatically. Even with your hands full, convenience comes standard. The wheels add to the X2's bold character, with standard 19-inch designs that enhance its athletic stance. For an even more commanding presence, the M35i offers available 21-inch wheels that make a striking impression.
This year brings exciting new exterior colors to the palette. These include Vegas Red metallic, Fire Night Dusk Blue, and Dune Grey metallic. Of course, you can completely transform the exterior appearance with M components and the Shadowline package, but we'll talk about that more below when we discuss the different models.
2026 BMW X2 Technology and Safety.
The 2026 BMW X2 delivers cutting-edge technology and standout convenience in a sleek package. Its large BMW Curved Display, powered by Operating System 9, controls everything from navigation to entertainment-and now includes streaming and in-car gaming via AirConsole. Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and phone charging are all standard, while the upgraded Digital Key with Setup Card makes sharing access effortless.
On the safety front, the X2 is equally advanced. A Surround View camera system gives you a bird's-eye view for easy parking, with available features that can even steer the vehicle into place. Standard driver-assist tech includes Frontal Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Active Blind Spot Detection, giving you greater confidence and peace of mind every time you hit the road.
2026 BMW X2 Models.
BMW offers two distinct X2 models to match different driving styles. Both deliver that authentic BMW experience. Both turn heads. The difference lies in the details and how they make you feel behind the wheel. Let's see what they have to offer.
xDrive28i
The xDrive28i serves as the base model with a slightly less powerful engine but includes many of the same incredible features as the M35i. Don't let the term "base model" fool you – this X2 comes loaded!Inside, you'll find comfortable and luxurious perforated Veganza upholstery, available in all the new colors we mentioned. The quality is immediately obvious when you sit down. You get all the same tech as the M35i, including the BMW Head-Up Display. Important information projects right onto the windshield, so you never have to look away from the road.
The standard 19-inch Y-Spoke Bicolor wheels and a sporty kidney grille on the exterior give you some street flair. These design touches ensure your xDrive28i looks every bit as premium as it drives.
M35i
The M35i is a beast on the streets, with the more powerful engine and increased horsepower. You'll recognize it immediately by the M rear spoiler and M mirrors. It also features a unique illuminated grille that sets it apart from every other SUV on the road.Inside, Alcantara and Veganza upholstery feature distinctive blue M stitching from the dashboard to the door trim. M Sport Seats hold you perfectly in place during spirited driving. Sport driving mode tightens everything up when you want maximum performance. This is made possible thanks to M-specific aerodynamic components, Adaptive M Suspension, and a high-performance M Sport braking system that stops as quickly as it accelerates.
The available 19-inch M Compound brakes with perforated heat-resistant brake discs bearing the M logo are simply fantastic. Four exhaust tailpipes announce your presence while available 21-inch M light alloy wheels complete the aggressive, purposeful look.
