The 2 Series Active Tourer and Gran Tourer models dropped their much-awaited facelifts just yesterday and here’s the official launch film to get us even more acquainted with it!
Noticeable in this video is the the new front-end look with a wide, single-piece air intake and a more striking kidney grille. The newly designed rear apron with larger exhaust tailpipes (twin tailpipes for all four-cylinder models) accentuates the car’s width. This is particularly noticeable on BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer models equipped with the new M Sport package.
The video also targets active young people, which the model expects to cater to. The new Active Tourer and Gran Tourer both get new instrument clusters, like the rest of the 2 Series range, leaving the old orange color behind and moving to a white setup for the tachometer and speedometer.
BMW ConnectedDrive Services now makes smartphone integration easier thanks to Apple CarPlay. Inductive charging for compatible mobile phones and a WiFi hotspot for up to ten devices is also included. Chip in the extensive line-up of driver assistance systems, including Active Cruise Control – which works at speeds up to 140 km/h (87 mph) now – and the Traffic Jam Assistant, which automatically keeps the car in its lane at up to 60 km/h (37 mph) and you get a car that’s definitely going to remain a favorite among young families.
