BMW Planning New X2 For 2017 - Have They Finally Filled Every SUV Niche There Is?

BMW bosses have given the go-ahead to a new sporting crossover to be sold under the X2 name, sources have confirmed.

Set to be positioned between the upcoming second-generation X1 and the current X3, the new five-door liftback is set to go on sale in the UK during the second half of 2017.

Its debut will follow a two-and-a-half-year development programme that BMW insiders say is already under way at the company’s research and development centre in Munich.

Nah, there's lots more room to grow! BMW hasn't covered *all* the integers, fractions, zero, and negative numbers yet.

Have you sat inside the GLA or the Audi Q3? Both are smaller than the X1. And audi is coming out with a Q1?

Retarded. X1 is already small enough with no real useable room. This will have even less and cost more.

Buy a real coupe, probably has more utility.

the only thing bmw is missing is a large suv like an escalade or gl550. the rest isn't really necessary anymore.

How about a real SUV instead of a raised hatchback aka SAV? Something that can take on Range Rovers and Jeep Grand Cherokees. I know most people don't use their vehicles like this but it would be nice to have more than a couple choices for those that do. Call them the XR5, XR3 etc... As in X Real ...

I'm waiting for the affordable 2 seat convertible the Z3 used to be before they turned it into a bloated, overpriced boulevard cruiser for old women.

I've been a BMW devotee for 25 years, and despite the fact that they now make 10x more models than they did back then I find myself shopping Miatas or waiting for the Fiat 124.
