BMW iX2 eDrive20 pre-bookings now open, priced from £67.5 million

BMW Korea is now accepting pre-bookings for the new iX2 eDrive20 from 9 May at 3pm via the BMW Shop Online. The new iX2 is BMW's first all-electric Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) and is characterised by a sleek coupé-like body with a sturdy, futuristic design and an environmentally friendly all-electric powertrain. It also features BMW's latest operating system, BMW Operating System 9 (BMW OS 9), which provides the ultimate digital experience.

The iX2 eDrive20 makes a strong statement with its boldly shaped adaptive LED headlights and hexagonal BMW kidney grille. The roofline flows seamlessly to the rear, creating an elegant coupé silhouette with distinctive BMW SAC styling.

With the latest infotainment system, BMW OS 9 offers intuitive touch control of functions, while the BMW Digital Premium feature provides access to a wide range of digital services, including air conditioning games and third-party apps. TMAP-based BMW Navigation for Korea is also standard, providing the latest maps and traffic information in real-time, guiding the driver to the optimal driving route and charging journey, taking into account charging status.

The electric motor has a peak power output of 204 hp and a maximum torque of 25.5 kg-m. A lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 64.7 kilowatt-hours (net) is also included. With a maximum output of 130 kilowatts, the battery 10→80% takes 29 minutes to charge and has a WLTP range of 459 kilometres per charge.

The iX2 eDrive20 is expected to be priced between $67.5 million and $69.9 million and will be officially launched in Korea later this year. Pre-bookings can be made at the BMW Shop Online, and for more information, please contact the BMW Communication Centre.

Meanwhile, BMW Korea recently launched a new feature on its online sales channel, BMW Shop Online, called the Electric Vehicle Savings Calculator. After selecting the BMW electric vehicle model you wish to purchase, you can set the average fuel consumption and fuel consumption of the internal combustion engine model you wish to compare, and the calculator will provide you with the average annual savings. The Electric Vehicle Savings Calculator is easily accessed by clicking on the blue circular icon in the top right corner of the BMW Shop Online homepage.

In addition, the BMW Shop Online now accepts NAVER Pay as a convenient payment method, making it quicker and easier to pay the deposit (however, NAVER Pay cannot be used for bank transfers or to redeem or accumulate points).
