The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer turns the family MPV into something you’d actually want to park outside a café, pairing compact practicality with surprisingly premium cabin flair. It won’t thrill like a sports car, but it drives with the composed poise you expect from the badge and keeps daily life easy and un-fussy.

It won’t set your pulse racing on a back road, but it will make school runs, commutes and grocery hauls feel pleasantly civilized — a reliable, slightly posh companion for real life.
