What is the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer?
The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is a compact people carrier with a taller body than the 2 Series Coupé. Its upright shape makes room for passengers and luggage while keeping the car suited to everyday use. It is the space-focused member of the 2 Series family.
Introduced in 2014, the Active Tourer brought front-wheel drive and three-cylinder engines to BMW’s production line-up. That gave the brand a new kind of compact family car, with a practical cabin and an alternative to its traditional rear-wheel-drive layout.
BMW 2 Series Active Tourer generations
The first generation, F45, ran from 2014 to 2021. The second, U06, began in 2021. The newer model kept the compact people-carrier format and included electrified options, among them plug-in hybrids. Both generations appear in EU and UK listings.
Engines and power
EU listings cover 1.5- to 2.0-litre engines, with power from 75 kW (102 PS) to 170 kW (231 PS). In the UK, engines also range from 1.5 to 2.0 litres, while power runs from 125 kW (170 PS) to 240 kW (326 PS). The range includes petrol and diesel versions, alongside hybrid and plug-in hybrid options.
How economical is the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer?
The lowest listed non-plug-in figure in the EU is 4.5 L/100 km on WLTP. The lowest plug-in hybrid figure is 0.7 L/100 km on WLTP, an official weighted result that assumes some driving is electric. In the UK, the lowest listed figures are 3.8 L/100 km for non-plug-in versions and 2 L/100 km for plug-in hybrids, both on NEDC.
WLTP and NEDC are European test procedures and use different methods. The plug-in hybrid figure also assumes a share of electric driving, so it is not directly comparable with a non-plug-in result.
Where was the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer sold?
The Active Tourer appears in EU and UK listings. EU registration figures span 2014–2025 and total 499,898. Its taller cabin and adaptable layout give it a practical role within the 2 Series family.
