When BMW previewed the 2-Series Active Tourer in concept form at Paris 2012 as the BMW Concept Active Tourer, it was presented with a hybrid powertrain, mating a 1.5 litre three-cylinder engine driving the front wheels to a synchronous electric motor driving the rear axle.
It looks like BMW might be looking to bring the concept’s powertrain to a production car as well. This BMW 2-Series Active Tourer prototype was sighted with a sticker saying ‘Hybrid Test Vehicle’ at the rear. The concept’s hybrid system’s combined power output is 190 horsepower and 200 Nm, able to take the car to from a stand still to 100km/h in about 8 seconds.
The electric motor can power the car’s rear wheels in zero emissions EV mode for about 30 km on a full charge. Of course those are all concept car figures, but production car numbers could be close.

Looking at the rear view i was like, “Honey i shrunk the 5 series!”
Good one for BMW. Proton is probably waiting all BMW models turn hybrid then only they release their awesome hybrid? lol
Let us guess the price approved by MITI…RM250K
After EEV car status local production, new price reduced to only RM200K…(but MITI said still a big RM50K cheaper)
RM200K, way higher price to protect Proton hybrid or electric car price later on…
In the end EEV car policy just to create another new artificial car market…same old tongkat, new name.
