Shanghai 2013: BMW Concept Active Tourer

BMW Concept Active Tourer

This is the first time we’ve had the opportunity to look at the BMW Concept Active Tourer up close and snap live photos, as Auto Shanghai 2013 is the first time the car has made an appearance in Asia.

We’ve covered the BMW Concept Active Tourer extensively back in September 2012 when it made its world debut, so you can read our story from back then to find out more about the car. You’ll remember it stirring up some controversy as even though it’s still a concept officially, BMW announced that it was front wheel drive, a clear departure from traditional BMW architecture, although BMW engineers have had lots of experience doing front wheel drive cars because of MINI.

As a recap, the BMW Concept Active Tourer measures 4,350 mm long, 1,834 mm wide and 1,560 mm tall. Wheelbase is 2,670 mm. As a comparison, its closest competitor the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class measures 4,359 mm long, 1,786 mm wide and 1,557 mm tall, with a 2,699 mm wheelbase.
