Mention the BMW 2 Series, the first thing that comes to mind may be a two-door sports car, or a four-door coupe with a strong taste of running, but in addition to these sports-oriented models, BMW has also released a new 2 Series Station wagon, bringing the latest design style to the model of practical appeal.
In terms of appearance, the new 2 Series Station Wagon does not adopt a very aggressive design like the 2 Series Coupe, and the overall feeling is much smoother. The large double kidney intake grille, used in the more stocky 2 Series station wagon, does not violate the sense of harmony. The interior of the headlights adopts a new family design, and it seems that the overall shape does not jump out of the original frame, but adopts the current more mainstream flat design.
In addition to the increase in grille, the front face also adopts two different styles of front bar design, the ordinary version of the front face is relatively subtle, and the processing is also mainly smooth, which is more elegant. The sport version is more aggressive, with the middle air intake further enlarged, and the air intake design is also used on both sides, noting that this is only a "design" and not an air intake that really provides efficiency. If you're not satisfied, there's also the Obsidian version with more black elements, with a blackened grille and rim that adds more sporty vibes.
There is not much special about the side, although its positioning is "MINIVAN", but if you look at the side alone, it is more like a practical hatchback that specializes in the third world, but the rim with the BMW logo adds some luxury, and this design also provides a drag coefficient of 0.26cd.
The rear part of the car will change more, the new family taillight design style, although it looks a bit like the 3 series, but compared to the old one that is not a high-grade halogen lamp model, the new tail light design makes the whole tail spirit a lot. In addition, different appearance kits will also affect the design of the tail, the sports version of the tail will use the front face echoing the air intake design, of course, this is only decoration, will not provide substantial effect at all.
The interior part gives people a bright feeling, the two screens make the entire interior of the sense of technology suddenly improve a lot, although similar designs can also be seen in other BMW models, but the 2 Series station wagon provides more storage space, the use of electronic gear handle design for the middle area to make more space, showing a good use of space.
The space layout also reflects the pursuit of practicality, although the body size is not large, but each passenger has an independent headrest, the rear row also provides air outlet (most likely an optional configuration), the rear row treatment is better than expected, but it only meets the basic needs.
In terms of luggage space, the 2 series station wagon reflects the high scalability advantage of the hatchback, in addition to the conventional luggage space, the rear row can be divided in different proportions to better meet different scenes. At the same time, the luggage is relatively regular, the two sides also provide a net pocket that can place small items, the platform is also set up relatively low, and the convenience of daily collection is good.
In terms of power, the new 2 Series Station Wagon has a rich power scheme and joins the PHEV model for the first time, the PHEV model is based on a 1.5T engine, and according to the different power performance, it is divided into two models, 225e and 230e, which can output 245 and 326 horses respectively.
The two versions are also completely consistent in battery capacity, and the 14.9kWh battery pack provides 80km of WLTP range, which is to keep up with the mainstream in pure electric endurance, and the power data is also expected.
In addition to the new PHEV models, the pure fuel version also offers a variety of different power options, the 1.5T engine acts as an entry-level power configuration, which can output 136 and 156 horsepower respectively, while the 223i (domestic or will be called 225i) with a 2.0T engine can output a maximum power of 203 horses, which is slightly higher than the 2 Series models with the same engine in China.
summary
The BMW 2 Series Station wagon, designed by the latest family, has a refreshing look, offers a variety of different look kits, and also allows consumers to have more choices. As a BMW model in the new era, the 2 Series Station wagon has also launched a PHEV model in a timely manner, which is more in line with the current mainstream market development trend. In terms of the domestic market, Xiaobian does not think that the 2 series station wagon will soon meet with everyone, comprehensive with the pricing of the previous 2 series models, more than 200,000 to buy a hatchback, for domestic consumers is still a quite bold choice. However, the 2 Series station wagon demonstrates the trend of future BMW models, and in the coming period, the same model is likely to adopt a strategy of pure fuel and electrified power solutions in parallel to meet market demand and industry trends.
