Modern lifestyle, versatility, elegantly sporting design and hallmark BMW driving pleasure: the second generation of the BMW 2-Series Active Tourer has made significant advances in all these key areas for a model of its kind, making it an extremely attractive addition to the premium compact segment. Plus, a new design language for the exterior and interior brings a dynamic appearance and contemporary ambience into play. Possessing a host of innovations previously only available for models positioned higher up the brand's ladder and a spread of standard equipment significantly beyond its predecessor's and broader than that of any rival, the new edition of the BMW 2-Series Active Tourer adjusts its sights to the requirements of a modern target group. These are customers who appreciate all-round talents in a car, complemented by a progressive style, high levels of comfort and the benefits of cutting-edge control/operation and connectivity technology.
Design
Versatile and uncomplicated functionality is the major strength of the new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer, while the sporting instincts for which BMW is renowned give it a character unique in this vehicle segment. The exterior design of the second-generation model provides an authentic showcase for the fusion of these two elements. A long wheelbase, short overhangs, a larger wheel diameter than its predecessor model and a visually imposing crossover design give the new edition of the allrounder even more eye-catching proportions than before. The clean, reduced surface treatment exudes confidence and dynamic elegance, bringing high-end details of the body design clearly to the fore. The appearance of the new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer brings together lifestyle attributes and aesthetic sophistication into a modern crossover character profile.
Petrol engines with optimised fuel consumption and emission levels
Three latest-generation petrol engines will be available from the launch of the new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer. A 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine powers the BMW 223i Active Tourer. Delivering a maximum output of 160 kW/218 hp (developed by the combination of the combustion engine with up to 150 kW/204 hp at 5,000 - 6,500 rpm and the electric motor with up to 14 kW/19 hp) and peak torque of 360 Nm/265 lb-ft (developed by the combination of the combustion engine with up to 320 Nm/236 lbft at 1,500 - 4,000 rpm and the electric motor with up to 55 Nm/41 lb-ft), the range-topping model sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.0 seconds. Its fuel consumption and emission figures as determined in the WLTP test cycle are 6.6 to 6.0 litres per 100 kilometres (42.8 - 47.1 mpg imp) and 149 to 137 grams per kilometre.
Diesel engine with even greater efficiency
With a maximum output of 110 kW/150 hp and peak torque of 360 Nm (265 lb-ft), the new version of the 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine powering the BMW 218d Active Tourer provides acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 8.8 seconds. The values of 5.3 to 4.8 litres per 100 kilometres (53.3 - 58.9 mpg imp) for combined fuel consumption and 138 to 125 grams per kilometre for CO2 emission levels, as determined in the WLTP test cycle, underline the further increase in powertrain efficiency.
