BMW 225xe Active Tourer: testing the plug-in hybrid MPV
Space, comfort and all-wheel drive: the BMW 225xe combines electric driving with convincing performance.
The BMW 225xe Active Tourer combines a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with a rear electric motor. Total output reaches 245 hp, with all-wheel drive and a 0-100 km/h time of 6.7 seconds. The battery allows several kilometres of zero-emission driving, making mostly electric daily use possible.
On the road, it impresses with quietness, stability and a prompt response, while the cabin retains the practicality typical of its body style: five seats and good versatility. The extra weight of the hybrid system is noticeable when changing direction, and the boot is less spacious than in conventional versions. It is a balanced choice for those seeking premium comfort and access to low-emission urban areas.
