BMW 2 SERIES ACTIVE TOURER GETS NEW ENGINES IN 2022

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth technical overview of the updated powertrains for the 2022 BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, presented by BMW engineers. The focus is on efficiency and performance improvements across both internal combustion engine (ICE) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variants. Key highlights include the new 48-volt mild-hybrid system integrated into the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, which enhances power delivery and fuel economy. For the PHEV models, the new generation 5 e-drive unit, featuring an electrically excited synchronous motor and a redesigned flat battery, offers a significant increase in electric range (up to 90 km) and improved driving dynamics due to a lower center of gravity. The review emphasizes BMW's commitment to electrification and sustainability, detailing advancements in battery technology, charging capabilities (up to 7.4 kW AC), and the integration of BMW xDrive all-wheel-drive in the PHEV models. While not explicitly stating cons, the presentation is highly technical and aimed at providing detailed information rather than a traditional driving review.
