2024 BMW 2 Series Active Tourer Review & Driving

[@bmwblog]

Is the new 2 Series Active Tourer better looking than before?

[@Pipsicle330]

I was surprised how much more I liked the IX when I saw it in person. I like the look of my current 2AT more but need to see one of these in real life.

[@dermunchner7713]

1000%

[@Pipsicle330]

I have been super impressed with my current 2AT. It’s been a fantastic car, so well built, fun to drive and better legroom front and back than BMWs much bigger cars. All in a nice compact body that’s perfect for UK roads. Will definitely get this new version when I can justify changing.

Thanks for sharing! The new one is miles ahead. You'll enjoy it

I have ordered new 220i Active tourer after the indoor visit in Taiwan, no road drive actually.Ｈow about the vibration of engine with 48v while start ?

[@bmwblog]

I didn't feel any. But I didn't fully paid attention to it either

[@karnoumikhail]

Awesome, I'll be waiting it

[@Driesking]

my mom ordered the 225e, excited to try hybrid technology

[@bmwblog]

Good choice

[@joaoleal5736]

What is the fuel consumption that you get with that engine?

[@talkandplay]

Surprised no Adaptive Cruise control or even option, just standard cruise control included which is poor for a Tourer model although this may be because of parts shortages (plugin model-UK)

[@bmwblog]

Likely shortages

[@anan7s294]

Does the FWD have torque steer under hard acceleration?

[@bmwblog]

A little bit, just as expected

[@NikosKalogerinis]

You are 1.90, you placed the seats into YOUR driving position and there's SO much legroom on the back? WOW! I am 1.98 and I have to consider this VERY seriously! How would you compare the interior space in comparison to the (outgoing) X1? Thanks!

[@bmwblog]

Yes, that was the point of the video to show the space. It really is spacious. It is larger inside than the current X1

[@NikosKalogerinis]

@@bmwblog A million thanks for your help, I really appreciate it! Keep in mind that up to now, nobody in any review showed the leg space on the rear correctly as you did. Many "reviewers" sat on the back, but nobody gave any info where exactly the front seat was set. You clarified this tiny detail on the spot!

[@bmwblog]

@@NikosKalogerinis I compared the space with the X1. The Active Tourer seems to have a bit more

[@NikosKalogerinis]

@@bmwblog Thanks for this! I also noticed it, but in the X1 there is (for me) much more head room on the driver's seat, so I can place the seat a little bit higher. This gives rear passenger a tad bit more legroom. On the AT, I had to place the driver's seat full down, while on the X1 didn't. My X1 is on the boat as we speak, but interesting research anyway!

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

Will this be coming to the US?

[@bmwblog]

BMW says no plans for that

[@TrixAreForRabbits]

@@bmwblog Thanks

[@Pipsicle330]

They only seem to give it to us in Europe. I love mine because I get the BMW experience with fantastic interior space but in a compact dimension which is much better for our UK roads and tiny garages. It only just fits into my garage, even an X1 would be too long.

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

@@Pipsicle330 -- It looks like a nice car

[@bmwblog]

@@Pipsicle330 Yes, not for the US. It is a good car, I can see it as a valuable second car

[@ralucalazarut7325]

🔥

[@Cadillacfrank94]

This just might be the ugliest car I've ever seen in my life. Impressive BMW.

[@bmwblog]

Maybe, but it's better looking than the previous one and that one sold to 420,000 customers. So there is clearly a market for it

[@Todestuete]

I actually think it looks great, especially for a car close to a minivan.

[@Pipsicle330]

I prefer the looks of my current M-Sport version but the interior of this one is brilliant. Will definitely be getting one of these new ones once I’ve worn out my current one 🙂

[@bmwblog]

@@Todestuete Yes, it's a bit more crossover now.

[@bmwblog]

@@Pipsicle330 The interior is the main highlight. I was impressed with the quality and tech

[@gerrywhelan7426]

My shed looks better than this ugly lump.

[@mikekos7606]

IDrive 8 for this and ignore g01/g02/f97/f98, WTF?

[@bmwblog]

Newer model.
