2026 BMW iX2: Up to 512 km WLTP and 302 hp, From EUR 51,000

The BMW iX2 is the electric version of the second-generation X2, the compact crossover that BMW calls a Sports Activity Coupe. It was introduced in October 2023 as the all-wheel-drive xDrive30, and the front-wheel-drive eDrive20 joined it in March 2024. From spring 2026 both versions get a new silicon-carbide (SiC) inverter in the power electronics. BMW says it lowers consumption on the combined WLTP cycle and lifts maximum range to 512 km for the eDrive20 and 477 km for the xDrive30. Power is unchanged: 150 kW (204 PS, about 201 hp) for the eDrive20 and, for the xDrive30, a rated 225 kW (306 PS, about 302 hp) that rises to 230 kW (313 PS, about 309 hp) for under 10 seconds with a temporary boost, both from a battery of about 65 kWh usable. In Germany BMW's price list puts the updated eDrive20 from €51,000 and the xDrive30 from €58,100, both including VAT and before options. In Israel only the eDrive20 is offered.

Performance & Specs

The entry eDrive20 uses a single current-excited synchronous motor on the front axle that makes 150 kW (204 PS, about 201 hp) and 250 Nm. Per ADAC, 0-100 km/h takes 8.6 seconds, the top speed is 170 km/h and the car weighs 1,960 kg (EU kerb weight, from ADAC's catalogue of manufacturer data). The xDrive30 adds a second motor on the rear axle. Each motor is listed at 140 kW (190 PS), and together they give a rated system output of 225 kW (306 PS, about 302 hp) according to BMW Germany's price list and BMW's January 2026 release, with up to 230 kW (313 PS, about 309 hp) available for under 10 seconds through a temporary boost, with 494 Nm of system torque, 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 180 km/h. Because both system figures are peaks, the continuous rating is lower: ADAC's data lists a rated output of 94 kW for the xDrive30 and 68 kW for the eDrive20. The xDrive30 weighs 2,095 kg.

The spring 2026 change is in the electronics rather than the motors. BMW's PressClub release of 28 January 2026 says the SiC inverter makes the drive more efficient and lowers WLTP combined consumption to 15.7-15.6 kWh/100 km for the eDrive20 and 16.7-16.5 kWh/100 km for the xDrive30, which raises maximum range to 512 km and 477 km respectively. Those consumption figures are measured at the charging socket, so they are higher than the battery capacity divided by the range would suggest. The ranges are maximum values for the most efficient equipment, and wheel size and options move them: at launch BMW quoted 417-449 km for the xDrive30 across its equipment range.

Charging & Battery

Both versions use the same battery: 66.5 kWh gross, which ADAC's manufacturer-data catalogue lists as 65.2 kWh net for the eDrive20 and 65.0 kWh net for the xDrive30. At the 2023 launch BMW quoted 64.8 kWh of usable energy, so treat about 65 kWh as the working figure. The pack uses nickel-cobalt-manganese cells, weighs 426 kg and sits in a 400-volt system, which limits DC charging to 130 kW. ADAC and the Israeli listings give 29 minutes for 10-80% on a 130 kW charger.

At home, the standard on-board charger takes 11 kW from a three-phase supply and fills the battery in about 390 minutes (6.5 hours), according to ADAC's data. A 22 kW AC charger is optional and cuts that to about 225 minutes, which helps at public AC points that can supply that much power. The charging port is on the rear passenger side. Compared with rivals that charge at higher peak rates, 130 kW is modest, and it can mean longer fast-charging stops than a competitor such as the Audi Q4 e-tron, which Audi rates at 160 kW for the 150 kW version and up to 185 kW for the quattro performance (82 kWh gross).

BATTERY	66.5 kWh gross, 65.0-65.2 kWh net, NMC cells, 400 V

WLTP CONSUMPTION	15.7-15.6 kWh/100 km (eDrive20); 16.7-16.5 kWh/100 km (xDrive30)

Design & Interior

Outside, the iX2 looks almost identical to the combustion X2: a closed, illuminated kidney grille, no exhaust outlets at the rear, blue accents on the badges and trim to mark it as electric, and the Sports Activity Coupe roofline that falls steeply to a short tail. The optional M Sport package adds aerodynamic enhancements, and in Germany M Sport and M Sport Pro are priced as separate steps above the base car. In Israel the car is offered in M-Design and M-Shadow equipment levels, both with 19-inch wheels, adaptive suspension, adaptive LED headlights and a panoramic sunroof, according to auto.co.il.

Inside, a slender instrument panel carries the BMW Curved Display, which combines a 10.25-inch screen and a 10.7-inch screen. BMW lists a smartphone tray with wireless charging, four USB-C ports and two cup holders as standard. Israeli listings add leather upholstery, a memory driver's seat, climate control with rear vents and keyless entry. The rear bench folds.

Technology & Features

The iX2 runs BMW Operating System 9 with iDrive and Quick Select, plus the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, which responds to natural-language commands. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported, and the BMW Digital Premium subscription adds streaming apps and cloud-based BMW Maps with an augmented-reality view. Optional equipment includes a head-up display and a Surround View camera system. For the spring 2026 update BMW lists no new infotainment hardware for the iX2; the changes are the SiC inverter and the lower consumption it brings.

Safety & ADAS

BMW lists front collision warning, lane departure warning and parking assistance with a reversing camera as standard. ADAC's equipment data for the German car adds city emergency braking, lane keeping assistance, pedestrian detection and driver-attention detection as standard, and an Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go and an evasion assistant as package options. The Steering and Lane Control Assistant is optional. BMW does not state an SAE automation level for these systems, which are driver-supervised. The iX2 has six standard airbags in Israeli specifications. We did not find a Euro NCAP rating published for the iX2 itself.

ADAS LEVEL	Driver-supervised assistance (no SAE level stated by BMW)
ADAS FEATURES	Front collision warning, city emergency braking, lane departure warning and lane keeping, pedestrian detection, driver-attention detection, parking assistance with reversing camera; optional Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Steering and Lane Control Assistant, evasion assistant, Surround View (German specification)

Pricing & Availability

In Germany, BMW's price list puts the updated iX2 (listed from March 2026) at €51,000 for the eDrive20 and €58,100 for the xDrive30, including VAT and before options. BMW's January 2026 release gives March 2026 as the production start of the updated cars. According to ADAC's catalogue, the M Sport package takes the eDrive20 to €55,100 and the M Sport Pro package to €57,750; for the xDrive30 the two packages are €62,200 and €64,850. That is roughly €700 more than the pre-update list prices of €50,300 and €57,400 (ADAC only).

In Israel the importer is Delek Motors, and only the eDrive20 is offered, in M-Design and M-Shadow equipment levels. auto.co.il lists them at NIS 369,900 and NIS 399,900 under an "importer price" label without naming the importer, while iCar and the Capital Motors aggregator list NIS 394,900 and NIS 424,900. We could not find the importer's own price list, so the NIS 25,000 gap is unresolved. Israeli listings still quote 64.7 kWh and a 450 km WLTP range for the car, so the 512 km figure from the spring 2026 update is not confirmed for Israel. The iX2 is also sold in other markets, but we have not verified current local prices there.

How It Compares

The Audi Q4 e-tron is the closest like-for-like rival in Germany: its upgraded range spans 150 kW (204 PS) to 250 kW (340 PS), starting at €47,500 for the 150 kW version (440 km WLTP), with up to 578 km WLTP for the SUV performance (592 km for the Sportback performance), 160 kW DC charging on the entry version and 185 kW only on the quattro performance; the entry price undercuts the iX2 eDrive20 by €3,500. The Volvo EC40 is the nearest match for the coupe roofline: it spans 238 to 442 hp and offers 483-488 km WLTP in the entry Single Motor version. Against both, the iX2's advantages are the BMW drive character, a quick 5.6-second xDrive30 and a compact footprint; its weak point is 130 kW charging on a 400-volt system.
