Video Summary
Findings of the review:- The car is launched in the UK with only two petrol variants and two electric variants, all of which are only available in Msport trim.
- The iX2 is the smallest of BMW's successful Sports Activity Coupes and sits on BMW Group's UKL2 platform, shared with the new Mini Countryman.
- The car is available in either a single-motor, front-wheel-drive iDrive 20 with 201 bhp or with the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive xDrive30 with 308 bhp.
- Both versions have a 64.7 kWh usable battery capacity for a WLTP range of between 259 and 283 miles depending on model.
- The UK cars come in M sport trim only and the prices start at just over £51,000, while the as tested price is £65,445.
- The reviewer thinks that the side is the least controversial part and the side profile is rather plain; however, the reviewer thinks that the back is the worst part and can be a bit fussy and heavy-handed.
- The new design language of the iX2 is not everyone's cup of tea.
- In the flesh, the car looks better than it does in pictures, but still not perfect.
- 19-inch alloy wheels are standard, but these look quite lost in the iX2's wheel arches. Upgrading to the optional 20-inch wheels is worthwhile.
- The BMW badge is also the boot release.
- The car is not fitted with a rear wiper.
