New BMW 2 Series Active Tourer Review & Road Test

The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, amongst other MPVs, has been suffering from the popularity of SUVs in recent years. In fact, while people carriers used to be the wagon of choice for families, most buyers now go for something that looks a bit more sporty and off roadish. To that end, manufacturers have been focusing on creating SUVs that fit the bill and have taken their eyes off the MPV ball, however, BMW hasn’t. Instead, it’s set to tease families out of small SUVs with its great looking MPV, the 2 Series Active Tourer. That won’t be easy though, and it’ll take more than just good aesthetics and a premium badge on the nose to convince the clued up public. So whats BMW offering us? Well, the new series 2 Active Tourer has been equipped with a class-leading interior and bundles of standard equipment. There’s masses of room up front so even very tall drivers will have plenty of space in the high-roofed interior. There’s lots of headroom and the generous width means the driver won’t end up rubbing shoulders with their passenger. The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is also priced very well, matching the price of an equivalent Mercedes B-Class and cheaper than a Ford S-Max.
The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer comes with the choice of a petrol engine with two different power outputs and mild-hybrid assistance as well as a diesel option. There are also two plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variants, perfect for those wanting to keep running costs low. If you keep their batteries charged, the official electric-only range of over 50 miles is highly impressive!
The premium badge will ensure resale values are among the best in the class. If you’re planning to sell on, this could well work out to be one of the cheaper cars in the class with all ownership costs factored in. Finally, when it comes to reliability the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer was the most reliable MPV, beating the Ford Galaxy, the Mercedes B-Class and the Volkswagen Touran and for added peace of mind, all New BMW 2 Series Active Tourers come with a three-year unlimited-mileage warranty with PHEV versions getting a six-year or 60,000 mile warranty for their high-voltage battery.
