Yahoo Autos BMW X2 spy photos: Here's what the fastback SUV's next generation looks like
Several months ago, we got one of our first looks at the next-generation BMW X2 compact luxury SUV. It's ditching its hunkered-down, chop-top take on the conventional SUV shape for the more common fastback "coupe" design. And this time, we're getting a look at a lower-trim version with a less hidden front end.
The last X2 we saw seemed to be a higher-performance M35i variant, and the spy photographer says this is a base model. We're inclined to agree, since the exhaust tips are hidden under the rear bumper instead of prominently displayed. And at the front, the lower intakes in the bumper seem a bit different in design.
We've also got the best look yet at the nose of the X2, thanks to less camouflage. Funny enough, the V shape of those lower intakes really reminds us of the M versions of the BMW 7 Series. Fortunately, the modestly sized kidneys do not. They even look like they might be smaller than the new X1. It also appears to have slightly slimmer and more swept-back lights than the X1.
