BMW showed the first front-drive car - a hybrid Active Tourer
At the Paris Motor Show BMW, as promised, to bring his first front-drive
car. It is true that, contrary to expectations, the car will be named Active
Tourer, hybrid power plant and the status of the concept.
As the company says, BMW Concept Active Tourer - first in the segment of premium compact cars, which will combine the comfort, space and functionality with sporting dynamics and stylish appearance. The manufacturer believes novelty, which in the future should be the production car, the key point of the expansion in the compact premium segment, which will grow by about 5% per year.

The manufacturer believes novelty, which in the future should be the production car, the key point of the expansion in the compact premium segment, which will grow by about 5% per year.
The concept was a hybrid powerplant. And borrowed technology from the
sports BMW i8. Hybrid Active Tourer can be recharged from a household outlet
in 220 (called Plug-in-Hybrid Electric Vehicle, PHEV). The manufacturer
believes that it is this version of the hybrid will have the greatest value
in the future. Combines an electric motor with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine,
which drives the front wheels. So what will be the first hybrid BMW, albeit
conceptual, with this type of drive.
The total installed power of 190 hp Acceleration to 100 km / h in less than 8 seconds, a top speed of 200 km / h The average fuel consumption is about 2.5 liters per 100 km. On one electric BMW can reach 30 km, which is a good indicator for this type of hybrid. In principle, most of the daily trips (eg, to and from work) can be done at all without the engine. Furthermore, the electric motor can be used in cases when you need a large and transient increase in power, such as when maneuvering on the highway. Hybrid supplemented by a system of energy recovery during braking and automatic "start-stop".
Length of the car is 4350 mm, width - 1834 mm, height - 1560 mm Wheelbase - 2670 mm. The company is positioning its new product as a convenient and practical car, including, for family buyers, for which considerable importance is the amount of space inside. Able to achieve this due to the high roofline and compact accommodation motor. Battery pack is located under the floor, so that does not take place in the trunk. In addition, to increase the space for passengers allowed short overhangs and a long wheelbase.
Design new items can be fully assessed by the photo released, and in the near future and at the Motor Show, which starts on September 27. In general, the concept is a bit unusual for BMW, which is distinguished by its sporty and often aggressive design. The impression is created mainly by body style. But the "face" of the machine just is fully consistent corporate identity Bavarian brand. This is evident in the new headlamps, whose shape echoes the "treshka" typical "nostrils" and vyshtampovka on the hood. The concept was a typical 5-spoke 20-inch alloy wheels.
Car interior deserves special attention. True, looking at him, it's clear that the series is such a design would not. What stands alone panoramic roof coated with a pattern. Most likely, for a production version of the interior somewhat simplified. However, despite some futuristic interior turned out quite organic and does not cause a sense of "space shuttle taking off."
Interior lighting in accordance with the selected mode. In the "sport" is a bright orange color. In the "eco" - partially blue. A center console is made compact and the "light", which increases the space (real and visual) for the feet of the driver and front passenger.
For the first time in the compact class in the front headrests installed large full-color displays. Perhaps, this option will be available as an option. Now speak of your machine just yet.
Mentioned earlier panoramic roof - not just a decorative element or static. It is made of a composite glass with the innovative technology of Suspended Particle Device (SPD), which allows to change the transparency or the temperature of the roof. Settings are configured with a single button. Transparency can vary the level of very dark sunglasses to the crystalline surface. Such technology would enjoy great success in Russia, replacing tinted if it can be expensive to use on the front side windows of different machines.
The rear seats fold down in the ratio 40:20:40. If you add up all three parts, form a flat floor, which is convenient to transport luggage. For the convenience of the passengers in the rear seat backs of front seats are special tables, which have a built-in tablet computers. If the item is really necessary to use as a desk, computers can cover panel.
The company has not said when the Active Tourer Concept will be the production model. But what will be, we can say with a high degree of probability. Now (except for details) car is almost ready for mass production. The company remained bring to mind the manufacturing process of hybrids to the final cost of the machine was attractive to the buyer.
