Record summary
What to know first
MY2027 carries the coupe-styled X2 over with updated pricing: xDrive28i starts at $44,700 and M35i at $53,900. Both trims remain AWD-only; there is no U.S. sDrive or plug-in hybrid X2.
Model-year note
X2 shares its engine outputs with the X1 (241 hp / 312 hp) but wears distinct coupe-SUV styling: do not conflate the two nameplates' body styles. Towing and payload are not published by BMW for either trim; do not state a figure or assert a confirmed non-rating.
