Aside from its power output and BIK rate, it has a claimed all-electric range of 31-32 miles, a WLTP consumption combined figure of 156.9-166.2 mpg, emits 31-39 g/km of CO2 emissions on the WLTP test cycle and is available in an automatic transmission, only.
To give you an idea of how the PHEV compares to its ICE-based siblings, we’ll be looking at the BMW X2 xDrive25e M Sport X, which starts from £42,460. Read next: Our favourite power banks for long journeys No matter which trim you choose, the X2 plug-in comes in a single powertrain and drive type configuration: its 1.5-litre straight three-cylinder engine combines with an electric motor to output 162 kW (220hp) of power and produces up to 385 Nm of torque it also operates on an all-wheel-drive system, thus the use of ‘xDrive’ in its naming structure. Unsurprisingly, the PHEV model is the priciest out of the bunch, where prices start from £39,390 for the Sport trim and go up to £43,210 without any additional extras for the M Mesh Edition. Rightfully, the xDrive25e has a BIK rate of 10%, while the petrol-only xDrive20i and diesel-only xDrive20d sit between 31-35%.
If you’d prefer to watch a review of the BMW X2 xDrive25e, head on over to our YouTube channel. It offers customers the chance to reduce their CO2 emissions by roughly 100 g/km and for company car drivers, to significantly lower their benefit in kind (BIK) tax rate. Since its introduction, the X2 has undergone a few changes but the biggest came in early 2020, where the manufacturer announced its first plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant, the X2 xDrive25e. Indeed, the German automaker coins the X2 as a Sports Activity Coupe (SAC), because it’s claimed to have better driving dynamics and more aggressive styling over its larger sibling. The F39 BMW X2 went into production in late 2017 and offers a more agile driving experience over its Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) equivalent, the X1.
