Trunk dimensions BMW 2 Series Active Tourer

The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer 2022 offers a trunk volume of about 14.3 cu ft with the rear seats upright, which can be expanded up to 49.6 cu ft with the seats folded down.

The rear bench is split 40:20:40, allowing flexibility when transporting luggage. The interior is modernly designed, with high-quality materials and a practical arrangement of controls.

The trunk dimensions vary depending on the equipment, with a low loading edge and easy access to the trunk.

Typical features include a rectangular shape that enables optimal space utilization, as well as practical storage compartments. Overall, the trunk is designed for everyday usability, making it attractive for families and active users.

Model Information

The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is a compact van designed for families and active lifestyles. The latest series offers a combination of functionality, comfort, and state-of-the-art technology.

With a sporty design and high-quality interior, the Active Tourer aims to combine driving pleasure with practical use. The models are available with various engines, including gasoline and diesel, offering a good balance between performance and efficiency.

Variants of the Same Series

Within the BMW 2 Series lineup, there are different variants that should not be confused. These include the 2 Series Coupé and the 2 Series Cabrio, which are sportier, as well as the 2 Series Active Tourer, which focuses on practicality and space.

These models differ both in body style and target audience, with the Active Tourer specifically designed for families and everyday use.

Yearly Differences

The model changes for the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer mainly took place in 2021, when a comprehensive revision of the model was carried out. These changes affected both the body dimensions and the trunk dimensions.

The latest generation offers improved space utilization and optimized trunk volume compared to previous models, increasing the vehicle's practical utility.

Direct Competitors

Direct competitors of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer include models such as the Mercedes-Benz B-Class and the Volkswagen Touran.

The B-Class offers a trunk volume of about 16.1 cu ft, while the Touran provides a significantly larger cargo space of around 29.6 cu ft. These differences in trunk volume can be decisive for buyers who value transport capacity.

More Affordable Alternatives

More affordable alternatives with similar trunk dimensions include the Ford C-Max and the Opel Zafira Life. The Ford C-Max offers a trunk volume of about 16.6 cu ft, while the Opel Zafira Life boasts up to 21.1 cu ft.

These models are generally less expensive but offer similar transport capabilities as the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer.

Trunk Volume

The trunk volume of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer 2022 ranges depending on the measurement method between 11.5 cu ft (independent measurement) and 14.7 cu ft (manufacturer specification).

A summary figure in the fact package states about 13.1 cu ft, which is -11.9% compared to an average car. Relative to the vehicle volume, the trunk accounts for about 5.9% (slightly below average).

With the rear seats folded down, the volume increases significantly: up to the window sill 24.9 cu ft (independent measurement) and up to roof height between 43.4 cu ft (independent) and 49.6 cu ft (manufacturer specification).

In practice, values such as 16.4 cu ft are also cited when the cover is removed and loaded up to the roof. Practically, this means: the cargo space is sufficient for everyday shopping and weekend luggage; for longer family vacations with full occupancy, the folded seatbacks are necessary.

Vehicle Size and Parking Friendliness

Dimensions: 172.8 in long, 71.7 in wide, 62.2 in high. Compared to the average, the Active Tourer is somewhat shorter (-6.7 in) and slightly narrower (-1.2 in), with the height marginally greater (+0.4 in).

This makes the car overall parking-friendly: it is more compact than many mid-size cars and thus easier to maneuver into tight parking spaces.

The fact package describes the vehicle as 24 in shorter and 26.8 in narrower than a normal parking space — meaning agility and parkability are clear advantages compared to longer wagons.

Empty weight 1,595 kg, payload 480 kg — this roughly allows four adult passengers plus luggage; with full occupancy, moderate space remains for luggage (about 150–200 kg margin).

Trunk Usability and Flexibility

The practical usability is well thought out:

  • Electric tailgate standard; opens at the push of a button, optionally by foot sweep (practical when hands are full).
  • Relatively low loading edge: 25.6 in above the road — lifting heavy objects is easier.
  • Under the trunk floor, an additional 1.6 cu ft of storage space is available (hidden space for small items).
  • Seats fold down in three parts as standard (variably usable); release is done at the bench (not from the trunk).
  • Net pockets, bag hooks, and compartments increase everyday usability; trunk lining is of high quality.
  • With roof-high loading, depending on measurement, 1,230–49.6 cu ft fit; the vehicle thus accommodates bulky cargo with folded seats.

In practice, this means flawless everyday usability for shopping or for families with occasional larger luggage needs. For regular, very large loads (e.g., frequent furniture transport), a longer wagon is advantageous.

General Model Information

Familiarity & Positioning: The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is BMW’s compact, practicality-oriented tall small car / compact MPV. It targets buyers who want premium quality combined with good everyday utility.

Special Features / Characteristics:

  • Good ease of entry and exit front and rear — practical for family use.
  • Optional keyless access variants (key, phone, card) and push-button engine start.
  • Standard electric tailgate; optional foot sweep for opening/closing.
  • Modern lighting packages with partial high-beam dimming for targeted cutoff.
  • All-around view and close-range detection rated usable in tests.

Price-Performance: As a premium product, the Active Tourer offers high-quality workmanship and practical equipment; however, the trunk volume is not class-leading. Buyers pay more for brand, comfort, and flexibility than for maximum cargo space.

Competitor Models: The main competitor is the Mercedes‑B‑Class. Other comparison models are compact vans/MPVs like former VW Golf Sportsvan/Touran, as well as compact wagons (e.g., 3 Series Touring) — the Active Tourer often lies closer to larger wagons in terms of usable space than the BMW 1 Series.
