Bavarian brand presents new powertrains for the lineup (BMW 2 Active Tourer 225e 230e 223d)

This summer, BMW will begin selling the plug-in hybrid powertrains promised at the launch of the Active Tourer Model 2. The system performance of the more fuel-efficient versions was previously revealed by the company - the lowest 245 and highest 326 horsepower - and now missing data has also been reported.

The three-cylinder gasoline engine, which drives the front wheels, has 136 horsepower for the 225e xDrive and 150 horsepower for the 230e xDrive, and the rear axle has 109 and 177 horsepower, respectively.

Drivetrains using fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology deliver acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 and 5.5 seconds, respectively.

The purely electric range for the weaker model is between 83-92 kilometers (standard WLTP), while the stronger version can do 82-93 kilometers on a single charge - so in practice there is no difference between them. The average fuel consumption for both types is from 0.8 to 0.6 liters / 100 km, the energy consumption is from 15.8 to 14.2 kWh / 100 km is lower and from 15.9 to 14, 4 kWh / 100 km for the strongest variant.

The new generation PHEV models can be recharged at 7.4 kW per hour from a wall charger with twice the power of the predecessor: fully discharged batteries can be charged to 100% in 2.5 hours.

The third new addition, available this summer, is a two-liter inline four-cylinder diesel engine. The 223d xDrive has a maximum output of 211 horsepower (this is achieved in conjunction with the 197 horsepower diesel engine and the 19 horsepower electric motor of the 48 horsepower hybrid system), and the system's combined torque is 400 Nm. (the diesel engine knows this for itself, but the electric motor helps you with 55 Nm).

The diesel engine with an average fuel consumption of 5.1-4.6 l/100 km and a standard CO2 emission of 133-121 g/km accelerates the all-wheel drive model to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds . The transmission has a seven-speed dual clutch; the mild hybrid electric motor (which also serves as the starter and generator) has been integrated into the transmission.
