Two petrol engines will be available from launch, including the 220i (1.5-litre three-pot, electric motor, 168bhp total, 0-62mph in 8.1s), and the 223i (2.0-litre four-pot, electric motor, 215bhp total, 0-62mph in 7s) driving the front wheels. Both, you’ll note, feature that 19bhp motor – it’s bolted onto the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox (and only a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox).
There’s a 218d that uses an updated version of BMW’s four-cylinder diesel, offering up to 58.9mpg, while in 2022 a couple of proper plug-in hybrids join the range in the shape of a 225e and 230e xDrive. This marries the 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol up front to an electric motor on the back, for a 242bhp total in the 225 and 322bhp for the 230e. BMW promises up to 49 miles of fully electric range from these two cars.
Spatial functionality, hallmark BMW driving pleasure and an extremely progressive approach mark out the new BMW 2 Series Active Tourer. The second generation of the sporty all-rounder for the premium compact segment exudes visual dynamism and imposing presence through BMW’s clear design language. Its fundamentally redesigned interior combines a variety of usage possibilities with modern geometry and a BMW Curved Display in the style of the BMW iX. Added to which, the new 2 Series Active Tourer leads the way when it comes to powertrain, driver assistance, control/operation and connectivity innovations.
