宝马X2目前动力最强劲版本搭载一台2.0升涡轮增压引擎，功率170千瓦/228马力，扭矩349牛米，与引擎搭配的是八速自动变速器和宝马的xDrive全驱系统，但几年以后，宝马将推出动力更强劲X2。据宝马博客介绍，宝马近期将推出动力更强劲四缸引擎，该引擎是在现行的B48四缸引擎基础上的升级版，目前内部编号B48A20T1。新引擎将搭载在X235i车型上。这台引擎的功率将接近223千瓦/300马力，搭配手动变速箱或爱信提供的八速自动变速箱。考虑到其更高的性能，未来搭载B48引擎的车型将提供给MPerformance版本。另外，X1、未来的1系和新款2系GranCoupe也将搭载动力更强劲引擎，后两款车型将从原来的后驱改为前驱，因此动力更强劲引擎将弥补前驱车的不足。
BMW X2 Could Get More Powerful 300-HP Engine
In its most powerful trim, the new BMW X2 SUV comes equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 228 horsepower (170 kilowatts) and 258 pound-feet (349 Newton-meters) of torque. Power is routed through an eight-speed automatic, and paired with BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system. But in just a few years, we could see the X2 get a significant bump in power.
According to BMWBlog, citing sources within the company, a second, more powerful four-cylinder engine option could join the range in the near future. The engine will be an upgraded version of the current four-cylinder B48, currently codenamed B48A20T1. Any upcoming BMW vehicle that wields the new motor will bear the designation 35i.
The engine will produce somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 hp (223 kW), and will come paired to either a manual gearbox, or the same Aisin-sourced eight-speed automatic currently available. Given its performance chops, the updated B48 will expectedly be used on M Performance cars in the future.
Cars like the X1, the upcoming 1 Series, and new 2 Series Gran Coupe will also reportedly benefit from the more powerful engine. The latter two will be transferring from rear-wheel drive, to a front-wheel-drive setup, so the more powerful engine should hopefully help make up for the loss.
