宝马近日发布了2系ActiveTourer五座版和GranTourer七座版中期改款车型。这两款车新增了米色和落日橙色涂装以及尺寸涵盖17-19英寸的六种新的合金轮圈。由于新车改款很细微，只有仔细看才能发现与老款车的区别。包括LED前大灯更接近蜂巢形，车尾采用不同造型的LED尾灯组。另外还有新的LED雾灯，轻度升级双肾格栅以及单个进气口。四缸车型的车尾采用了更大排气尾管，宝马还为新车提供了双排气尾管。2系ActiveTourer/GranTourer可选装的MSport套装也进行了改款。出来外装改款，新车还提供了Steptronic七速双离合器变速箱，同时还有熟悉的六速手动变速器和八速Steptronic变速器。另外，新车还提供了最新和最好的iDrive系统，消费者可选择6.5英寸或8.8英寸触控显示屏（集成语音功能）。至于动力系统，宝马工程师对涡轮增压器、曲轴、气门机构和热效率进行了优化。根据不同的引擎选择，ActiveTourer输出功率从80千瓦/109马力到170千瓦/231马力不等；而更大的GranTourer功率在80千瓦/109马力到141千瓦/192马力之间。最省油的225xe iPerformance插电混动版纯电动续航里程45公里，混动模式百公里油耗2.3升。2系ActiveTourer/GranTourer改款车将于3月在欧洲上市，而这两款车在2014至2017年间的销量为38万辆。
BMW 2 Series Active Tourer Gets The Mildest Of Facelifts
BMW is giving a whole new meaning to the word “discreet” with the mid-cycle update for its first-ever minivan and at the same time the company’s first foray into the front-wheel-drive genre. Both the five-seat 2 Series Active Tourer and the seven-seat Gran Tourer are gaining Jucaro Beige and Sunset Orange paint schemes as well as six new alloy wheels varying in size from 17 to 19 inches.
Since it’s not that easy to detect what has changed on the outside, we’ll save you some time by pointing out the novelties. The LED headlights now adopt a more hexagonal look in line with recent BMWs, while the light-emitting diodes at the back exhibit different graphics. Also new are the LED fog lamps, a lightly updated kidney grille, and the single-piece air intake.
Bigger exhaust tips have been installed and if you go for one of the four-cylinder models, BMW will be more than happy to install dual exhaust setup. The 2 Series Active Tourer / Gran Tourer fitted with the optional M Sport Package has been revised accordingly. While the mild cosmetic changes might not be enough to make you rush over to the nearest BMW dealership and place an order, there are other news of greater importance. For instance, a seven-speed, dual-clutch Steptronic gearbox will be available from now on, alongside the familiar six-speed manual and the eight-speed Steptronic.
In addition, the latest and greatest iDrive will be installed in the minivan duo and buyers will be able to pick from either a 6.5- or 8.8-inch touchscreen, complete with voice control.
As far as the engines are concerned, BMW’s engineers have optimized the turbocharger, crankshaft, valve train, and heat management – all for the purpose of enhancing efficiency. Depending on engine selection, output varies between 109 horsepower (80 kilowatts) and 231 hp (170 kW) for the Active Tourer and from 109 hp (80 kW) to 192 hp (141 kW) for the bigger Gran Tourer. If fuel economy is of utmost importance, go for the 225xe iPerformance plug-in hybrid model, which will do 28 miles (45 kilometers) on electric juice and consume as low as 2.3 liters / 100 km (102.2 mpg) in hybrid mode.
BMW will launch the minivans in Europe in March after selling more than 380,000 units of the pre-facelift models between 2014 and 2017.
