BMW 2 Series Active Tourery

The all-new BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is set to go on sale in soon, but it appears the company may be facing an uphill battle to sell it to potential buyers in an SUV-crazed market.

The new 2 Series Active Tourer is best considered as a small MPV – a category of vehicle that has never hit any great sales heights in the local market – which is slated to be aimed squarely at the Mercedes-Benz B-Class.

But aside from a possible lower cost of entry (no pricing or specifications have been confirmed at this point in time),

A clear question remains over what BMW will do to convince potential customers to go with the boxier looking front-wheel drive 2 Series Active Tourer over a more rugged X1,

Self Drive Car Tech On A Rise

The car and tech convergence continues. Self-driving cars, pedestrian-detecting cars, touchscreen infested cars, all-round connected cars. You name it, it was on offer at the Frankfurt Motor Show this year.

It's an event on a massive scale, with single brands occupying show halls as big as what used to pass as the British Motor Show in London.

But we've trawled every hall and every stand to bring you the best bits. The techiest, the slickest and the downright weirdest

.

BMW i8 

Undoubtedly the star of the show. It's not just the fact that it looks like a concept car but it's actually just gone on sale in the UK for around £96,000. There's real substance to the style.

First up is its carbon-fibre and aluminium composite construction. Then there's the radical re-thinking of what it means to be a supercar. The petrol engine is a mere 1.5l litres. But it cranks out 228bhp and also sports a lithium-ion battery pack for a grand total of 356bhp.

The result is by far and away the most dramatic combination of performance and efficiency the world has yet seen. 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds and 155mph top speed on the one hand, 113mpg and just 25g/km CO2 emissions on the other.

The i8's pure electric range, meanwhile, is 22 miles. It's right at the cutting edge for infotainment, too, with the latest build of BMW ConnectedDrive and NVIDIA-powered graphics.

Now, it's true that those official figures don't take into account the emissions associated with the electricity used to charge the i8. And we thought its interior was a little conservative. But this is still a stunning effort from BMW and a probably game changer.
