A Bold Statement in Electric Mobility

The First-Ever BMW iX2 xDrive30 stuns with a modern and sporty design. As the first electric iteration of the X2, it showcases a groundbreaking control system based on the Android Open Source platform for the first time in a BMW.

Athletic Elegance from Every Angle

The rebellious spirit of the iX2 xDrive30 is evident from the front, featuring a redesigned closed kidney grille with a black mesh and high-gloss frame accentuated by the iconic BMW Kidney Glow. Adaptive LED headlights with selective beam provide optimal visibility and a contemporary look, accompanied by new vertically aligned daytime running lights. The black radiator grille completes the aggressive front fascia.

From the side, the iX2 xDrive30 boasts a muscular silhouette with a gently sloping roofline, tapered windows, M high-gloss Shadow Line trim, and a long wheelbase. V-spoke style 20-inch M light alloy wheels and flush door handles further enhance its sporty character. The rear features standard LED taillights and a distinctive high-gloss black spoiler for a striking presence.

Modern Functionality Meets Spacious Comfort

Stepping inside, the driver-oriented BMW Curved Display takes center stage. This fully digital instrument cluster combines a high-resolution 10.25-inch display with a 10.7-inch control display. A full-color Head-Up Display projects essential driving information, while a wireless charging tray with cooling, front armrest with integrated control panel, automatic tailgate operation, and a Harman Kardon sound system elevate the cabin’s technological sophistication.

M multifunction leather steering wheel allows for convenient control of various vehicle functions. Aluminum Hexacube Pale M interior trim, a finer-grained luxury instrument panel, and high-quality “Veganza” leather-alternative upholstery with contrast stitching complete the elegant interior. Standard sport seats in the front provide excellent support and comfort, while the rear seats offer 40:20:40 split folding for variable cargo space.

Thrilling Electric Performance

The heart of the iX2 xDrive30 lies in its electric motor on each axle, generating a combined output of 313 hp (230 kW) with an additional 7 hp boost. The 66.5 kWh high-voltage battery nestled in the floor delivers a WLTP range of up to 449 kilometers, ensuring a locally emission-free and efficient driving experience. The iX2 xDrive30 rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 180 km/h.

Uncompromising Driving Dynamics

The iX2 xDrive30 seamlessly blends sportiness and comfort with upgraded components for exceptional handling. Upgraded stabilizer bearings, actuator anti-roll bars, Adaptive M Suspension, M Sport Steering, and M Sport Brakes all work in concert to deliver sharp steering precision, excellent roadholding, and a sporty driving feel. Additionally, the SPORT My Mode lets drivers unleash the car’s full potential with more direct and powerful responses.

Convenient Charging Solutions

The iX2 xDrive30 is equipped with the latest charging technology for both AC and DC charging, ensuring convenient power up options at home or on the go. With a maximum charging power of 130 kW at a High-Power Charging station, the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in just 29 minutes. AC charging via Wallbox delivers a full charge from 0 to 100 percent in 6 hours and 30 minutes. The My BMW App further simplifies the charging process.

Commitment to E-Mobility

The First-Ever BMW iXDrive30 embodies the BMW Group’s dedication to accelerating electric mobility in Malaysia. With over 2,020 charging facilities accessible nationwide through partnerships with local EV charging providers, BMW is actively strengthening the country’s EV ecosystem.

Intelligent Connectivity and Advanced Safety

The standard BMW Curved Display powered by the latest BMW Operating System 9 features the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant and a control system based on the Android Open Source Project for the first time. This translates to an intuitive user interface with a customizable home screen and quick access to frequently used functions. BMW Maps with extended features and Proactive Care further enhance the driving experience.

For driver assistance, the iXDrive30 comes standard with Active Guard Basis, Driving Assistant Plus, and Parking Assistant Plus. These systems offer features like Lane Departure Warning, Front Collision Warning, Active Cruise Control, Parking View with Remote
