Thinking of getting a BMW 2 Series Active Tourer?
The style of the car
The distinctively styled 2 Series Active Tourer is a family friendly five-door MPV. Eye-catching design and excellent build quality give the BMW premium appeal, while the large windows provide a great view outside and let loads of natural light inside. The doors open wide for easy access and a large boot lid makes it easy to lift big and heavy items into the boot.
How it drives
BMWs are famously good to drive and the 2 Series Active Tourer is no exception. Sharp steering and strong grip mean it’s more fun to drive than most rivals, yet it’s still comfortable and relaxing over long distances. The four-wheel drive xDrive versions offer extra control on slippery surfaces and make good tow cars. Both petrol and diesel engines are quiet and responsive and the BMW feels light and compact on the road. It’s also easy to park thanks to its excellent road visibility and rear parking sensors.
The interior
The five-seat 2 Series Active Tourer packs a lot of interior space into a relatively small exterior. There’s lots of head and legroom in the back and you’ll find several useful storage spaces too. The 468-litre boot is bigger than many rivals and will swallow three large suitcases and a pram. Good design and quality materials give the 2 Series Active Tourer a premium feel inside, plus there’s lots of tech and equipment. Entry-level models get climate control as well as BMW’s excellent iDrive infotainment which features sat nav and Apple Carplay. Sport trim adds sports seats, while Luxury models have leather seating. M Sports have unique trim inserts and a stylish steering wheel.
Running costs and reliability
The 2 Series Active Tourer is similarly priced to premium rivals, but with more standard equipment it’s better value. As with other BMWs its engines are some of the most efficient, especially the frugal diesels. The 225xe plug-in hybrid can travel around 25 miles in zero emissions electric mode and has very low tax bills. Great value service packs keep maintenance costs down. BMW has a great reputation for reliability and the 2 Series Active Tourer was awarded the full five stars safety rating by Euro NCAP.
How the BMW 1 Series compares with similar cars
The 2 Series Active Tourer is BMW’s entry level MPV. It’s bigger than the BMW X2 SUV and smaller than the seven-seat BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer. It’s more fun to drive and has a nicer interior than the Mercedes B-Class and VW Touran. The 2 Series Active Tourer was named Best MPV at the Honest John Awards.
