Specifications of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer
Just over a month after its market launch, BMW has expanded the range of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer with the addition of three new engines and the intelligent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive.
As of November 2014 there will be two further diesel engines with three and four cylinders respectively as well as an additional 4-cylinder petrol engine for top-class performance figures and exemplary fuel consumption.
All the power units in the new family of engines draw on the latest version of TwinPower Turbo Technology, thereby setting the benchmark in terms of power and efficiency. Meanwhile the intelligent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive now demonstrates its supreme qualities on board the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, too.
The 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine in the BMW 220i Active Tourer (combined fuel consumption: 6.1-5.9 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 142–137 g/km)* delivers a peak output of 141 kW/192 bhp at 4,700 rpm and a maximum torque of 280 Nm at 1,250 rpm. This makes for athletic performance figures: the BMW 220i takes 7.5 seconds for the sprint from zero to 100 km/h, while its top speed is 230 km/h.
The high-torque 4-cylinder diesel engine in the BMW 220d Active Tourer is no less dynamic and even more economical (combined fuel consumption: 4.5-4.4 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 119–115 g/km)*. The 2.0-litre power unit with a peak output of 140 kW/190 bhp at 4,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 400 Nm at 1,750 rpm is the top-of-the-range Active Tourer diesel. Finally, a new efficiency benchmark is set by the first 3-cylinder diesel in the BMW 216d Active Tourer: it has an average fuel consumption of 3.9–3.8 l/100 km* with CO2 emissions of 104–99 g/km.
This compact diesel has a capacity of 1.5 litres and an output of 85 kW/116 bhp at 4,000 rpm, putting a torque of 270 Nm on stream at just 1,750 rpm. As a result, the BMW 216d Active Tourer is able to reach speeds of up to 195 km/h and accelerate from standing to 100 km/h in 10.6 seconds. In this way, BMW once again demonstrates its expertise in the field of diesel technology.
The new engines can be combined with 6-speed manual transmission as standard or optionally with an automatic 8-speed Steptronic transmission (6-speed manual transmission only for the 216d).
BMW xDrive will be available for the two top engine variants of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer in future as well. The intelligent all-wheel drive system not only optimises traction and ride stability in all road and weather conditions, it also enhances the car’s dynamic performance on corners.
All-wheel drive comes as standard with the 8-speed Steptronic transmission both in the BMW 220d xDrive Active Tourer (combined fuel consumption: 4.8-4.6 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 127–122 g/km)* and the BMW 225i xDrive Active Tourer (combined fuel consumption: 6.5-6.4 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 152–148 g/km)*. Both models set new benchmarks in the segment in terms of efficiency and dynamic performance.
With six engines (three petrol and three diesel), along with a choice of manual or Steptronic transmission and BMW xDrive, there will a total of 12 variants available as of November. This diverse range gives the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer a leading position within its class when it comes to efficiency and athletic flair.
