Product Overview

BMW 2 Series Active Tourer F45 LCI is a compact minivan in production from 2018 to 2021. It was available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.0 liters.

Compared to the pre-facelift F45, the facelifted 2 Series Active Tourer has hardly changed styling-wise, though BMW had to comply with more stringent emission standards that added to the complexity of the drivetrain.

The plug-in hybrid drivetrain can help the owner save on fuel and car tax, though those who plan on keeping the car after warranty should be mindful of the complexity.

BMW has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.27 coefficient of drag to show for it. The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

Reviewer score 60% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

There are refreshed engines that have been tweaked for the new WLTP testing regimes. Petrol engines gain up to 7bhp and 7Ib ft of torque, while diesel outputs are unchanged. Four-wheel drive helps accelerate the Active Tourer from 0-62mph in a claimed 7.8sec — 0.2sec faster than the lighter front-wheel-drive model. Infotainment is taken care of by the latest generation of BMW's iDrive system.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Decent infotainment system
Comfortable ride

Cons

Expensive for what it is
No eight-speed auto
