The arrival of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer in 2014 caused a small culture shock. A driver’s brand like BMW comes with an MPV and the model was also front-wheel drive… That is the first time in the history of the brand. However, we are now years further and the car has proven itself as a nice driving family car that has managed to take its place next to the competition.

Five-seater or seven-seater
The five-seat Active Tourer was reinforced in 2015 by the Gran Tourer. A slightly extended version, which therefore offers space for seven passengers. On the Active and Gran Tourer, the engines are mounted transversely, whereas they are mounted longitudinally on almost all other BMW models.
second generation
Despite the generally declining demand for MPVs, BMW simply introduced a second-generation 2 Series Active Tourer at the end of 2021/beginning of 2022. A new seven-seater Gran Tourer has not yet been revealed at the time of writing and its arrival is also somewhat uncertain. Especially for a seven-seater, the customer nowadays prefers an SUV model.more Bmw 2 series gran tourer.
