2022 BMW 218i Active Tourer M Sport F45
BMW Asia and Performance Motors Limited announced the availability of the all-new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer in Singapore, the second-generation sporty all-rounder for the premium compact segment that exudes visual dynamism and imposing presence through BMW’s clear design language.
Spatial functionality, hallmark BMW driving pleasure and an extremely progressive approach mark out the all-new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer. Its fundamentally redesigned interior combines a variety of usage possibilities with modern geometry and a BMW Curved Display in the style of the BMW iX. Added to which, the all-new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer leads the way when it comes to powertrain, driver assistance, control/operation and connectivity innovations.
Its uncomplicated functionality, progressive character profile and range of standard equipment – which comfortably exceeds that of the predecessor model and stands out against its rivals – make the all-new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer a particularly attractive proposition for active, lifestyle-oriented target groups. The new model is built at BMW Group Plant Leipzig and its vehicle architecture is designed to accommodate both combustion engines and electrified drive systems.
Design: modern crossover character, striking front end, dynamically stretched proportions
The exterior design of the all-new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer brings lifestyle attributes and aesthetic sophistication together into a modern crossover character profile. The clean, reduced surface treatment exudes sporting prowess and assured presence. At the front end of the car, these qualities are expressed most prominently by the striking BMW kidney grille, with its increased dimensions, and the slim contours of the headlights. The all-new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer comes as standard with Adaptive LED Headlights with cornering light function, non-dazzling matrix high beam, urban lights, a motorway beam pattern and bad weather light.
Much more heavily raked A-pillars compared to the predecessor model, a stretched side window graphic, flush-fitting door handles and slim C-pillars also play their part in the new car’s dynamic silhouette. The newly designed door shoulders around the A-pillars create much improved all-round visibility. With its broad shoulders and slim LED light units, the rear of the all-new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer cuts a particularly muscular figure. The exhaust tailpipes are integrated into the rear apron out of sight.
18-inch light-alloy wheels are fitted as standard while light-alloy wheels of up to 19 inches in size are available as an option. The all-new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer can also be ordered in Luxury Line trim or with an M Sport package. Two non-metallic and nine metallic paint finishes are available for the exterior.
Progressive premium ambience and wide-ranging interior functionality
The size and versatility of the all-new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer’s interior are emphasised by the fundamental redesign introduced by the second-generation car. The cabin geometry and a host of details take their cues from the interior concept of the BMW iX technology flagship. This creates a progressive premium ambience, the key features of which include the slim instrument panel, the BMW Curved Display, the “floating” armrest with integrated control panel and an across-the-board reduction in the number of physical control elements.
The space underneath the armrest is used as a storage compartment, while the area in front of it houses generously sized cup holders and a newly designed smartphone slot. The phone remains visible to the driver and front passenger here and can be wirelessly charged.
The all-new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer offers occupants in its five seats noticeably better long-distance comfort that of its predecessor. The newly developed, multi-adjustable seats comes standard in Sensatec perforated. On the options list are sport seats with prominent bolsters and shoulder areas, electric seat adjustment (including memory function), lumbar support and a massage function. Acoustic comfort and occupant protection have been stepped up too. Indeed, a new interaction airbag between the driver and front passenger is added to the integrated passive safety concept.

An array of storage areas and the multi-adjustable rear seats also contribute to the car’s uncomplicated functionality in everyday use and on longer trips away. With the rear backrests in their cargo position, boot capacity increases by as much as 90 litres. The rear seats can also slide forwards by up to 13 centimetres. This and the 40 : 20 : 40 split/folding rear seat backrests present customers with a load compartment that can be used for a multitude of purposes. Boot capacity is 470 -1,455 litres while the automatic tailgate operation comes as standard.
Two-zone automatic climate control and sports steering wheel as standard
The progressive premium character of the all-new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer is also underscored by its extensive standard specification. Fitted as standard are four USB-C ports and a 12V power socket in both the centre console and the boot, intelligent two-zone automatic climate control, a Sport leather steering wheel, a rain sensor with windscreen wiper control and automatic headlight activation, a much larger number of driver assistance systems compared with the predecessor model, and Park Assist with Reversing Assist Camera.
Newly structured equipment packages enable extremely specific individualisation of the car. Customers can order high-quality interior trim strips, as well as Sensatec surfaces for the instrument panel and front door shoulders with eye-catching contrast stitching. Other optional contributors to the premium feel include a panoramic glass sunroof and a Harman Kardon Sound System.
Sportiness and long-distance comfort in perfect harmony
The chassis technology in the all-new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer has been engineered to deliver the brand’s customary sporting flair combined with impressive levels of ride comfort in every situation. With a body construction that reduces weight while increasing rigidity, a long wheelbase, and wider tracks than its predecessor, the car’s basic design provides the ideal blueprint for the job at hand.
Steering precision and agility have been enhanced by targeted updates for the single-joint spring strut axle at the front and the three-link rear axle. The near-actuator wheel slip limitation function included as standard improves both traction and directional stability. The integrated braking system is another new feature, as is the extra, lift-related damping for the front axle. The adaptive M suspension (standard on the all-new BMW 218i Active Tourer M Sport and BMW 218i Active Tourer M Sport Launch Edition) includes frequency-selective damping, sport steering and a 15-millimetre drop in ride height.
A fresh variety of systems for automated driving and parking
The largest selection of systems for automated driving and parking yet offered for a BMW compact-segment model are available for the new edition of the BMW 2-Series Active Tourer. Standard specification includes Cruise Control with brake function. The latter now also reacts to oncoming traffic when turning left and to pedestrians and cyclists and when turning right (in countries where vehicles drive on the right). The Parking Assistant including Reversing Assist Camera and Reversing Assistant also comes as standard. Options include the Steering and Lane Control Assistant, Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function, Active Navigation, the exit warning function, the BMW Head-Up Display (standard on the Launch Edition models) and the Surround View, Remote 3D View, BMW Drive Recorder and Remote Theft Recorder functions.
Existing functions can be improved or expanded by means of Remote Software Upgrades, and customers can also use Functions on Demand to select and import a range of functions at a later stage (availability depends on the hardware fitted in the vehicle and the market conditions).

The new BMW iDrive makes its debut in the premium compact segment
The new generation of the control/operation system iDrive, included here in a compact-segment model from BMW for the first time, is based on BMW Operating System 8. It links up as standard with the BMW Curved Display – with its state-of-the-art graphics and menu structure – and the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant with expanded skills range. The BMW Curved Display fully digital screen grouping is formed by a 10.25-inch information display and a control display with a screen diagonal of 10.7 inches. The new BMW iDrive is built around intuitive touch control and voice control. The new My Modes bring together individually selected vehicle settings with the relevant interior experience worlds.
