Efficient three-cylinder petrol engine from the latest generation powers the new BMW X2 sDrive20i
A three-cylinder petrol unit from the latest modular generation of the BMW Group Efficient Dynamics engine family powers the new BMW X2 sDrive20i. Among the new features serving primarily to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions are the Miller cycle (which shortens the opening time of the intake valves), redesigned intake ports and combustion chambers, and an ignition system featuring an active coil with integrated electronics. Mixture preparation is optimised using a new dual injection system. In addition to the existing high-pressure injection system, some of the fuel is now injected into the combustion chambers via a low-pressure system. At the same time, the effectiveness of the turbocharging system and intercooler has also been increased.
Teaming up with the 48V mild hybrid system, the 1.5-litre engine in the new BMW X2 sDrive20i generates maximum output of 125 kW/170 hp (developed by the combination of the combustion engine with up to 115 kW/156 hp at 4,700 - 6,500 rpm and the integrated electric motor with up to 14 kW/19 hp) and peak torque of 280 Nm / 206 lb-ft (developed by the combination of the combustion engine with up to 240 Nm / 177 lb-ft at 1,500 - 4,400 rpm and the integrated electric motor with up to 55 Nm / 41 lb-ft). The new BMW X2 sDrive20i sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 8.3 seconds. Combined fuel consumption comes in at 6.5 - 6.0 litres per 100 kilometres (43.5 - 47.1 mpg imp) and CO2 emissions at 148 - 136 grams per kilometre, both as per the WLTP cycle.
