BMW 2 Series Active Tourer M Sport

2022 BMW 2 Series Active Tourer design
So the new BMW 2 Series Active Tourer isn’t exactly a revolution in design compared with the old car, retaining a familiar boxy silhouette and short overhangs — if it isn’t broke, why fix it?
It does get a larger set of ‘kidney’ grilles upfront though, as is the way of BMW at the moment, along with sharper headlights which are LED as standard across the range.
Slimmer LED tailights are fitted too, and BMW is keen to highlight the exhaust pipes have been designed not to be on show and tucked away — no trim fakery going on here.
You’ve got a selection of alloy wheels ranging from 17- to 18-inches too, depending on which spec of 2 Series Active Tourer you opt for.
2022 BMW 2 Series Active Tourer interior and infotainment
You’re probably looking at a BMW 2 Series Active Tourer as a family car, so you’ll be keen to hear it’s apparently more spacious for passengers than the old car.
Boot space for diesel models is 470 litres, though petrol cars can only must 415 litres of space because the batteries for their hybrid systems occupy some space beneath the floor.
There are fewer physical controls than the last Active Tourer too, with a lot of functions now found within the infotainment system.
Speaking of which, that’s an updated system too and is displayed on a 10.7-inch display, with support for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. You’ll get a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display as well.
