BMW has announced its new 2
series convertible, adding to the collection of the 2 series coupe and 2 series
active tourer.
It
is set to replace the hugely successful 1 series convertible, which was the
world’s most popular vehicle in its class.
The
2 series offers customers a choice between four engines, which include a 2.0
litre diesel for the 220d model and the M235i for the M performance version.
It’s the first time the latter has been used in a BMW convertible.
Fuel
economy in the 2 series has improved by 18% on average compared to the previous
1 series convertible. What’s more, it has improved space and access for
passengers, acoustic comfort, dynamism, style and equipment.
To
make the drive more comfortable for passengers and improve enjoyment with the
roof down, the car is 72mm longer and 26mm wider than the previous model and
its wheelbase is 30mm longer.
Its
soft top roof is electrically operated and can rise or lower in 20 seconds at
speeds of just over 30mph with the push of a button. This roof has had
additional insulation put it to reduce noise and make the whole car better to
use all year round. There is also an optional wind deflector to protect against
turbulence when travelling with the top down.
This
car also boasts the largest boot in its class as it has 335 litres of space.
What’s more, customers can opt to have a through-loading system implemented to
increase the versatility of the vehicle.
It still contains the typical characteristics of BMW design with
its long bonnet, short overhangs and cabin that is closer to the rear. At the
front of the car is the double kidney grille, which is slightly leaned forward
and sits between twin circular headlights that get narrower towards the centre.
