BMW has teased its new X2 mini SUV with some official ‘spy’ photos showing the car in a range of city locations wearing so-called ‘urban camouflage’. 

The Munich-based manufacturer calls its new car a ‘sports activity coupe’, and it will be aimed at owners of its smaller cars who want something with a better view of the road ahead. 

From what can be glimpsed of the X2’s styling, it has the usual clean lines you’d expect of a BMW, along with a window line that rises sharply alongside the back seats, giving the small SUV a rakish look.

The X2 shares its underpinnings with the X1, 2 Series Active Tourer and Mini Countryman, and will share the X1’s range of small turbocharged petrol and diesel units. 

Prices are expected to start at around £30,000, with the car going on sale at the end of 2017 for 2018 delivery dates. 

The production car is expected to be unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show in September.
