(BEIJING, June 11) – The New BMW 2 Series Active Tourer officially hits the market with a lineup of four models including 218i Lifestyle, 218i Vantage, 218i Exclusive Sport Style, and 220i Luxury Style, with MSRP ranging from RMB 224,800 to RMB 294,800. The new models come with comprehensively upgraded sporty design, and cutting-edge connectivity as well as great functionality and versatility, providing the modern family with an exciting vehicle to embrace their world for modern life.

Upgraded sporty design

Sportiness is at the heart and soul of every BMW, and of BMW’s Active Tourer as well. The New BMW 2 Series Active Tourer comes with a comprehensively upgraded exterior which oozes sportiness in each and every detail. The most obvious identifying feature of the series is their significantly larger kidney grille, which injects them with notably greater presence and expressive power. The newly-designed hexagonal headlights are eye-grabbing and shine even more brilliantly with the LED illumination on the 218i Vantage and other more advanced variants, adding to the series’ sporty looks. The front apron is dominated by a large air intake, which is split into three sections and bordered by large, C-shaped surrounds in a high-gloss finish. In addition, the Estoril Blue paint finish, usually reserved for models fitted with the M Sport Style, is also offered as an option, making the New BMW 2 Series beaming with vigor.

Cutting-edge connectivity

The New BMW 2 Series Active Tourer features BMW’s cutting-edge connectivity technologies. The high-resolution 8.8-inch central display which comes with touchscreen capability is paired with the customizable ID6 display technology to deliver exceptional convenience. Another feature on the options list is Apple CarPlayTM, which enables easy, wireless use of selected iPhone functions inside the car.

Besides superior hardware, the New BMW 2 Series Active Tourer boasts exciting software as well. The Natural Language Understanding (NLU) system is thoroughly optimized for the Chinese language and supports conversation-like interaction, making man-vehicle interaction no longer rigid but lifelike. In addition, the system is capable of learning the user’s linguistic patterns, becoming an intelligent assistant that “understands you and works for you”.

Versatile interior design

The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, designed to be “compact on the outside, spacious on the inside”, stood out in its segment immediately after it’s released. The New BMW 2 Series Active Tourer offers plenty of space, with rear seats that can be slid 130mm forward or backward and whose backrests can be folded down with 40:20:40 split, so that the versatile luggage compartment can be expanded from 468 liters to a maximum of 1,510 liters. Access to the luggage compartment couldn't be easier thanks to the comfort access function for supreme ease of operation with a flick of the foot. One particularly smart touch of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is the foldable boot floor that conceals a 70-liter storage compartment which can conveniently store whatever comes handy, be it the dad’s sports bag or the mum’s high heels or the kid’s remote-control car.

The New BMW 2 Series Active Tourer continues to show BMW’s non-compromise in individuality and comfort. The all-new black panel Combi, when activated, has its white needles moving like a shooting star in a visually appealing style. The 218i Vantage seat covers are upgraded to soft Sensatec leather to provide exceptional comfort even for long-time sitting, which, together with the 0.78 sq. m. panoramic roof and other thoughtful features such as a high-efficiency particulate filter exclusively available in the Chinese market, makes time on a long journey a sheer enjoyment and pleasure in its own right.

Also hitting the market with the New BMW 2 Series Active Tourer are two New BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer models—the New BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer 220i Vantage and the New BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer 220i Exclusive Sport Style – with MSRP of RMB 269,800 and RMB 306,800, respectively. Both models can be fitted with the exclusive M Sport Style as an option, and the 220i Exclusive Sport Style model, in particular, is provided with the optional Luxury Style as well. The New BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer features an additional third row of seats which increases seating capacity to seven and provides excellent space flexibility; the new Sunset Orange exterior color is matched with even more sportier trims and accents to further increase the scope for individualization for the modern family.
