The BMW X2 will apparently have a total of 12 powertrains, which is a lot. But then we are talking about a company with an infinite pool of TwinPower Turbo mills. Here's the latest leaked information to come out ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show debut.
The X2 is codenamed F39 and is based on the same UKL1 platform as the X1 and all the MINIs. In fact, we've often said that it's more of a spiritual successor to the MINI Paceman than an outright Sports Activity Coupe.
The 12 engines configurations will vary in output from 116 to 231 HP with a 300 HP cherry on top, according to Spanish magazine Motor. Let's examine the most exciting ones first.
While some reports suggested BMW's tweaked 2-liter turbo would make around 320-330 horsepower, it actually only produces 300 HP in the X2 M35i xDrive. That's important because the main rival for the X2 is going to be 310 HP Volkswagen Group cars like the Golf R or Ateca Cupra. The Bavarians are also working on an M135i with that 2-liter turbo.
The upside is that MINI might update half of its JCW models to from 231 to 300 HP. We've already seen the prototypes around the Nurburgring. It's not a bad number to have, but people will keep comparing it with what the A45 AMG possesses.
Two other 2-liter engines are going to deliver 231 HP, namely the xDrive 25i and the xDrive 25d, which is a twin-turbo diesel. Keeping things friendly and straightforward, all the 20i and 20d models will produce 192 HP, though torque will not be the same. You can have them both with and without xDrive, resulting in a total of four powertrains.
There same number of 18i and 18d models exist. The diesels will produce slightly more power - 150 HP from a 2.0-liter block. Meanwhile, the gasoline version of the X2 will have 140 HP, not the 136 HP of a MINI Cooper model. The least powerful car in the range will be the sDrive16d with 116 HP.
As you can see, about a quarter of the X2 versions will use 1.5-liter 3-cylinder engines.
