BMW is preparing for a major revamp of the X2, with the next-generation model scheduled to arrive later this year. While prototypes have been spotted being tested since October of last year, it wasn't until recently that spy shots revealed the next-generation X2's interior.
The upcoming X2's cabin layout shares similarities with the new BMW X1 that made its debut last year, with screens in front of the driver that merge the instrument cluster and infotainment system. The A/C vents, center console, and even the placement of the cupholders all mirror that of the X1's, which isn't surprising since both nameplates are supposed to be sharing the same platform.

The one spotted is the sportier M35i trim, evidenced by the sporty seats and M steering wheel. The light-colored overall theme of the spotted prototype is expected to be one of the options that future customers have.
While the exterior of the next-gen X2 is still wrapped in camouflage, it's expected to align with the new X1 with minor deviations. The lower fascia could have a different look compared to its boxier sibling, with exclusive details to this area expected to set each trim level apart from the others.

When viewed from the side, the X2 has a sleek, flowing roofline that sacrifices some cargo space in the rear for a more stylish appearance. While the latest X1 is larger than the previous generation, we expect the next-gen X2 to be slightly larger as well, as both vehicles share many of the same parts. The new X2's powertrain options should be similar to the X1's.
The next-gen BMW X2 is set to debut in the latter part of 2023, and we can expect more sightings of the prototype and additional details as we near its date of reveal.
