The F45 BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is set to receive
a facelift after a prototype was spotted undergoing testing in Germany by Paultan's spy photographers. The changes appear to be minor,
bringing the compact MPV up to par with the current range of BMW vehicles.
The car seen here looks to be wearing the Luxury
exterior package, albeit with no changes in terms of bumper design, front and
back. More noticeable features are the redesigned corona headlamps, which
follow those on the latest 3 Series, 5 Series, 4 Series and 7 Series.
This is likely the 225xe plug-in
hybrid variant. If that is the case, a B38 1.5 litre three-cylinder turbo
petrol engine will power the front wheels, while an electric motor drives the
rear axle.
Aside from the plug-in hybrid powertrain, a range of
diesel and petrol engines will likely be offered, along with the optional
xDrive all-wheel drive system. Other revisions will likely include an updated
interior, where the latest iDrive infotainment system will be offered, along
with an expanded safety and driver assist suite of systems.
