Mildly divisive front-wheel-drive MPV returns in its second-generation form

BMW 2 SERIES ACTIVE TOURER

TESTED 3.2.22, SPAIN ON SALE MARCH

TESTER ’S NOTE

Some 80% of 2 Series Active Tourer buyers are new to the brand.

No other model in the BMW line-up has such a high conquest rate. GK

The first-generation 2 Series Active Tourer never sat well with BMW traditionalists, but it sold some 430,000 units worldwide over the past eight years, so a second generation model was inevitable.

It is no surprise, then, to find the second-generation model follows its predecessor closely. New detailing and tauter surfacing gives a much sharper appearance, and it is more aerodynamically efficient.

At 4386mm long, 1824mm wide and 1576mm high, the new Active Tourer is just 67mm longer and 25mm wider but a good 142mm higher than the latest 1 Series hatch. The generous height and wideopening doors make for easy entry to both the front and the rear seats.
