en.Wedoany.com Reported - German automaker BMW launched the new "220i Active Tourer Exclusive" model in its 2 Series Active Tourer lineup on May 13. The vehicle is equipped with a 48V integrated mild hybrid system, priced at 5.43 million yen, with deliveries scheduled to begin after June.
Since its debut in 2014, the 2 Series Active Tourer has combined BMW's signature dynamic styling and sporty performance with a spacious interior, high functionality, comfort, and safety, earning widespread market recognition. The first-generation model featured the brand's first front-wheel-drive (FF) base powertrain, delivering a high level of driving pleasure while also serving as a versatile family vehicle with long-distance driving comfort and the economical benefits of a clean diesel engine.
The second-generation model, launched in 2022, retains the original concept while upgrading the exterior and interior design to a more modern style and equipping it with the latest connectivity features. The newly added 220i Active Tourer Exclusive is powered by an efficient inline 3-cylinder 1.5-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo gasoline engine, producing a maximum output of 115 kW (at 5,000 rpm) and a maximum torque of 240 Nm (1,500-4,400 rpm), paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT).
The vehicle's BMW 48V integrated mild hybrid system includes a 48-volt lithium-ion battery and an electric motor integrated into the transmission, providing more direct assistance to the engine, suppressing fuel consumption during start-up and acceleration, while enabling smooth driving. The system recovers deceleration energy to charge the battery, with the electric motor providing additional driving force and acting as a starter to suppress vibrations when the engine restarts, enhancing driving comfort. The system's total maximum output reaches 125 kW, with a total maximum system torque of 280 Nm (both manufacturer reference values).
The introduction of this new model further enriches the powertrain options for the 2 Series Active Tourer lineup, offering consumers more choices. BMW continues to expand its product range in the compact luxury multi-purpose vehicle segment to meet the needs of family users for a balance of space, performance, and energy efficiency. The new car will begin deliveries in the Japanese market starting in June, with the price inclusive of consumption tax.
