The all-electric 2024 BMW iX2 has been launched in Thailand ahead of its slated introduction in Malaysia. The sole iX2 xDrive30 M Sport variant is offered with a sticker price of THB 3.39 million (~RM 450k).

Built on the same platform as the regular X2 (codenamed "U10"), the iX2 xDrive30 gets a dual-motor setup for all-wheel drive capability and delivers a combined output of 313 PS and 494 Nm. This gives it a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 5.6 seconds.

Equipped with a 64.8 kWh battery (usable), the iX2 xDrive30 has a range of 417 to 449 km in the WLTP cycle. This efficiency is partly achieved through the integration of a heat pump in the automatic climate control system, which can precondition the interior before driving.

Charging the battery is facilitated with standard 11 kW AC charging with the optional 22 kW charging. Maximum DC charging is rated at 130 kW.

Designed with aerodynamics in mind, the Coupe-SUV iX2 features a slippery shape composed of a closed-off kidney grille and a fully sealed underbody. The battery pack, situated under the floor further contributes to the iX2's overall aerodynamics. A rear diffuser has been incorporated to optimize airflow and extend the vehicle's range.

Outfitted with the M Sport package, the Thai-spec iX2 features sporty visual highlights and 20-inch 873 M V-Spoke alloy wheels.

The cabin of the iX2 closely mirrors that of the iX1 with the 10.25-inch instrument cluster and 10.7-inch infotainment display and features the BMW Live Cockpit suite with Operating System 9. Other notable features include a panoramic roof, 205W Harman Kardon premium audio system, wireless charging and BMW head-up display system.

Closer to home, the BMW iX2 has already been teased on the BMW Malaysia website so we can assume it will be launched sometime this year.
