BMW 2 Series Active Tourer 220i MHT Sport 5dr DCT Review
Category: MPV
Section: Version review
The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is a spacious MPV with a robust, high-quality interior. What’s more, it’s good to drive and offers impressive engines (including two plug-in hybrid options). If you’re looking for an alternative to the plethora of small SUVs out there but don’t want an MPV that looks like a box, the 2 Series Active Tourer might be the car for you.

The engine
See full engine specsThe entry-level 220i petrol engine is our pick of the range. It uses a three-cylinder engine and a mild hybrid system to create 168bhp and good levels of efficiency. It might not be the most powerful engine out there but it responds quickly to your inputs and can easily deal with sudden overtaking manoeuvres and getting up to motorway speeds.
