Detailed analysis of the BMW 216d Active Tourer · 116 CV (2014-2018)
General description
The 2014 BMW 2 Series Active Tourer represented a bold revolution for the Bavarian brand. It was the first minivan and the first front-wheel-drive vehicle in BMW's history, a brave bet that sought to win over young families by merging the practicality of a family car with the prestige and quality inherent to the Munich propeller. This 216d, with its efficient diesel engine, was presented as the entry into a new universe of versatility.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the 216d Active Tourer surprises with its balance. Although its 116 horsepower doesn't aim for speed records, the three-cylinder diesel engine pushes with unexpected solvency from low revs thanks to its 270 Nm of torque. It feels agile in the city and poised on the highway, with precise steering that, while not as communicative as in a rear-wheel-drive BMW, retains a direct and pleasant feel. It's a car that invites relaxed travel, enjoying remarkable ride comfort and genuinely low fuel consumption.
Design and aesthetics
Visually, the 2 Series Active Tourer is unmistakably a BMW, but in a different suit. It adapts the brand's features, like the iconic double-kidney grille and sharp headlights, to a minivan body that prioritizes space and functionality. The result is an intelligent and elegant design that maximizes interior room. Inside, the atmosphere is pure BMW: high-quality materials, impeccable fit and finish, and ergonomics studied to the millimeter that make you feel in control and cocooned from the very first moment.
Technology and features
Despite being a 2014 version, the onboard technology reflected the BMW standard. The iDrive infotainment system, controlled by the central rotary knob, was the heart of connectivity, offering an intuitive user experience superior to many rivals. Additionally, it incorporated solutions from the EfficientDynamics philosophy, such as the Start/Stop function and an ECO PRO driving mode, focused on minimizing consumption and emissions, proving that innovation can also serve efficiency.
Competition
At its launch, the 2 Series Active Tourer directly faced a clear and established rival: the Mercedes-Benz B-Class, the other premium minivan on the market. Both competed for the same customer looking for space, versatility, and the prestige of a German brand. Beyond that, it also measured up against very competent mainstream alternatives like the Volkswagen Golf Sportsvan or the Ford C-MAX, against which the BMW offered an extra touch of finish quality and a more refined driving dynamic.
Conclusion
The BMW 216d Active Tourer was much more than just a car; it was proof that BMW could reinvent itself without losing its essence. It masterfully combined the functionality and space a family needs with the build quality, refinement, and driving pleasure expected from the brand. It is the perfect choice for those who value daily practicality but refuse to give up the feeling of driving a premium car—an intelligent, efficient, and deeply satisfying vehicle.
