In the Detroit Auto Show last week, two concept and production cars were honored with EyesOn Design awards. The Infiniti Q Inspiration Concept and the BMW X2 SUV won each of these categories respectively.
The X2 also took home the award for Vehicle Harmonization. Meanwhile, the Q2 Inspiration was also a two-time winner, taking home the Best Designed Interior award. The Nissan XMotion Concept was given an award for Innovation Use of Color, Graphics, or Materials, while the Ram 1500 won Best Designed User Experience.
Based on the same UKL architecture that underpins the BMW X1, the X2 is a front-wheel drive based BMW crossover that is available with xDrive all-wheel drive. In America, the only model available will be the BMW X2 xDrive28i. That means it will only be all-wheel drive ‘Stateside and it will only come with the brand’s 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It’s the same B48 engine as in the X1, so it makes the same 228 hp and uses the same eight-speed automatic gearbox.
