Following the launch of the 2 Series Active Tourer, BMW has launched the more spacious, 7-seater version in Malaysia. Called the 2 Series Gran Tourer, this new model is now on sale in the country with prices starting from RM279,800 (Rs 47.82 lakh) for the entry-level model.
The 2 Series Gran Tourer is the first premium MPV to offer up to seven seats. With its sliding second row of seats with adjustable backrest, a third row of seats that fold into the floor, and provision for up to five universal child seats, the 2 Series Gran Tourer promises to be the perfect family vehicle.
Globally, the 2 Series Gran Tourer is available with a choice of five turbocharged petrol and diesel engines, all sourced from BMW’s latest engine family. With either three or four-cylinders, these engines offer high efficiency and, in the case of the 220i and 220d, a zero to 100kmph time of 7.8 seconds.
While the 2 Series Gran Tourer may never make it to the Indian market, BMW could contemplate the five- seater 2 Series Active Tourer to compete against the Mercedes B-Class.
