The BMW X1, introduced in June last year, will soon have a stylish sibling – the 2024 X2. Currently in development on the same platform as the X1, a prototype of the crossover was recently spotted testing in Munich, Germany. The test car had less camouflage than previous models, which allowed our friends at Kolesa.ru to create these exclusive and highly accurate renderings of the new X2.

Similar to the first-generation X2, the new crossover will have a front fascia resembling that of the X1, but with unique elements specific to the even-numbered model. The kidney grilles, for example, have a different shape with a middle section that extends towards the bumper. The renderings also suggest a vastly different bumper design with diagonal slats and large side air openings, giving the X2 a more aggressive appearance compared to the X1.

The rear design is harder to predict. Kolesa.ru proposes a design reminiscent of the current X4, featuring large C-shaped taillights with sharp elements that extend into the boot lid. The rear bumper follows a similar styling to the X1 but with more prominent and aggressive aero elements, including a center diffuser. However, the most significant difference from the new X1 will be the roofline, which will transform from the boxy shape of the X1 to a gently sloped profile in the X2.

Although the X2 and X1 will have distinct visual differences, they will share the same underpinnings. Both models will be built on BMW’s FAAR platform and will offer three- and four-cylinder engines. There is also a potential for an all-electric version. The range-topping combustion-powered model will likely be available in M35i or M40i trims and will be equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that produces over 300 horsepower, powering all four wheels.
