After the 2-Series Active Tourer was spotted hiding
a small facelift back in May, we now have the updated 2-Series Gran Tourer
making its first appearance in front of the cameras.
Unfortunately, all the changes are hidden under a
thin, yet efficient layer of camouflage, much like with the Active Tourer
earlier this year. Still, if this is to be BMW's first and only MPV, it's possible the automaker didn't hold back in making
the car look and feel more modern.
In terms of what we can see clearly, there are the
new headlights with sharper-looking angel eyes, and that's about it. Of course,
we can assume that underneath the camouflage is a fully updated front fascia
with a restyled kidney grille and bumper, while the taillights might get new
graphics when all is said and done - these prototypes have the current model's
taillights fitted.
Other possible changes could include new color and
trim options, new wheels, updated iDrive infotainment system, a new piece of
tech or two to actively improve safety, and perhaps even some powertrain mods. Both the 2-Series Active as well as Gran Tourer
production ready models should surface either by the end of this year, or
sometime in 2018.
