BMW Active Tourer (U06) 2022.

BMW Active Tourer (U06) 2022. In 2014, the German company BMW decided on a desperate and bold step — to put into production a new family of Active Tourer with front-wheel drive cars.

And the Bavarians did not fail — after two years more than 100 thousand units were sold, including Gran Tourer versions.

Further, unfortunately, demand began to sag — no more than 30,000 cars were sold during the entire 2020.

Despite such disappointing fact, the company didn’t cancel the output of II generation in a body of a compact van taking into account that the one-volume format and design remain the same.

The developers comfort themselves with the belief in the preservation of demand for B-class cars, which are inferior to crossovers in popularity.

After all, practical car owners primarily value reliability and economy. The engineers have tried to bring the exterior of the new model to the updated BMW style. It was also decided to completely change the interior of the car.

It is not excluded that the «five-door» will keep its «atmospheric» engine and at the same time it is predicted to get a new hybrid version.

The hatchback, for which the name Baleno was revived (in the ’90s, there was a whole family with such name in Suzuki’s lineup), is available since 2015.

The model was conceived as a global one; even the possibility of its appearance in Russia was considered.
