2022 BMW 2 Series Active Tourer MPV breaks cover
BMW has unveiled a new 2 Series Active Tourer with some massive design changes. The compact luxury MPV is slightly longer and wider than the outgoing model while sporting a larger grille, sleeker headlights, and new flush-fitted door handles. The interiors have also received a major revamp to accommodate a larger driver's display and infotainment system. Here's our roundup.
It has adjustable flaps for improved drag coefficient
The 2022 BMW 2 Series Active Tourer has a beefier chrome-finished kidney grille with vertical slats and adjustable flaps for improved drag coefficient. It sports LED headlights, door-mounted ORVMs, flush door handles, and 16- to 19-inch wheels. The rear section has also been tweaked. The exhaust tip is now positioned below the bumper and the LED taillights are slimmer than before.
The MPV is backed by BMW's iDrive 8 operating system
The 2022 BMW 2 Series Active Tourer has received plenty of updates inside the 5-seater cabin. There is a dual-tone dashboard housing a 10.25-inch digital driver's display and a 10.7-inch infotainment touchscreen powered by the iDrive 8 software. You also get leather seats, a head-up display, wireless charging pad, electronic parking brake, and optional features like panoramic glass roof and Harman Kardon audio system.
