If you don’t want an SUV but need a vehicle that’s large enough to keep pace with busy family life, a used BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is worth closer inspection. Don’t confuse an MPV with a functional people carrier; this is a sporty model, with a sleek exterior design, that is unmistakably a BMW vehicle – from its top-class cabin to high quality ride comfort.
Performance and power varies depending on the engine you choose, and here, a used BMW 2 Series Active Tourer has a version to suit all requirements – petrol with mild hybrid tech, PHEV and diesel.
Across the used range, both manual and automatic gearbox options are available, but on newer used BMW 2 Series Active Tourer models, all versions are fitted with a seven or eight-speed automatic DTC transmission. Driving is smooth, with agile handling and light steering.
The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer comes with set driving modes, to enable you to get the most out of every journey, depending on whether you’re looking for optimal performance, or a more economical ride. Select from Comfort, Sport, Individual or Eco Pro.
The exterior styling on the latest version of BMW 2 Series Active Tourer used models has slimmer front headlights and a larger front grille, to accentuate the bold and modern experience.
Inside, there’s lots of space for driver and passengers, with generous head and leg room. This is a five-seater vehicle that’s designed to be family friendly and functional. Need something larger still? The BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is a seven seater and offers even greater capacity.
Boot space in the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer varies slightly across the range. It’s 470 litres in the 218 diesel model; fold down the rear seats and capacity widens out to 1,405 litres. In the 220i and 223i mild hybrid models, boot capacity reduces slightly to 415 litres.
