OVERVIEW
The BMW X2 was introduced in Australia and New Zealand in
February 2018. The ANCAP safety rating for the X2 is based on
testing of the BMW X1 released in October 2015.
ANCAP SAFETY RATING HHHHH
The BMW X2 shares a platform and the majority of its structure
RATING YEAR (DATESTAMP) 2015
with the BMW X1. As the X2 has a slightly different side frame VEHICLE TYPE Small SUV
and new bumper front to the X1, additional side impact, pole and
pedestrian impact tests have been performed on the X2. These AIRBAGS Dual frontal, side chest,
tests and further data provided by BMW shows that the 2015 side head
rating of the X1 can also be applied to the X2.

This rating applies to all front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive X2

variants.

Dual frontal, side chest-protecting and side head-protecting

airbags (curtains) are standard. All three grades of autonomous
emergency braking (City, Interurban & Vulnerable Road User) are
standard, as well as a lane departure warning (LDW) system.

A ‘pop-up’ bonnet is fitted to both the X1 and X2. Sensors in the

bumper detect when a pedestrian has been struck and actuators
raise the bonnet to provide greater clearance between the bonnet HEAD IMPACTS 19.40 (out of 24)
surface and the hard structures in the engine compartment.
UPPER LEG IMPACTS 1.34 (out of 6)
Results on the bonnet surface were almost entirely GOOD, with
some areas rated ADEQUATE for protection to a pedestrian’s LOWER LEG IMPACTS 6.00 (out of 6)
head. Some POOR results were recorded on the front edge of
the windscreen and on the stiff windscreen pillars. The bumper AEB - Vulnerable Road User --- (N/A)
scored maximum points for the protection it offered to pedestrians’
legs. Protection of the pelvic region was predominantly POOR.
The pedestrian-detecting autonomous emergency braking system
is fitted as standard to the BMW X1 and X2 but was not tested as
part of 2015 test protocols.

The BMW X1 / X2 has, as standard, a seatbelt reminder system

for all front and rear seats, a driver-set speed limitation system
and an autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system. Tests of

X1 models built from November 2017 and X2 models are also
fitted with a camera-based speed limit information system. As this

system was not available as standard on X1 models prior to this,
it has not been assessed, however vehicles with this feature can

ASSESSMENT DETAILS
ANCAP safety ratings do not automatically extend to variants that have different TESTED MAKE / MODEL BMW X1 sDrive18d LHD
body styles, engine configurations, driven wheels or occupant restraint systems
(e.g. fewer airbags). In these cases, ANCAP considers technical evidence TESTED VEHICLE(S) BUILT 2015
submitted by manufacturers before deciding on the extension of a rating to
additional variants of a model. TESTED BODY TYPE 5 door SUV
RATING YEAR (DATESTAMP): TESTED VEHICLE ENGINE 1.8 litre diesel
The Rating Year denotes the year requirements against which a vehicle has RATING PUBLISHED 6 October 2016
been assessed. The Rating Year is determined by ANCAP and, for vehicles
rated from 2018, the Rating Year is the year in which the vehicle was tested. RATING UPDATED 26 February 2018
