BMW 2 Series iPerformance Active Tourer MPV pictures

The BMW 225xe iPerformance Active Tourer is a plug-in hybrid MPV with five seats

It's the first MPV able to drive on electric power alone, with an EV range of around 25 miles

This gives it an official fuel-efficiency figure of 141mpg and emissions of just 46g/km of CO2

With a combine power output of 221bhp, it can also get from 0-62mph in 6.7 seconds

There are different driving modes to keep it in electric-only mode or save the its battery power until later

With a 1.5-litre petrol engine and electric motor, the 225xe iPerformance Active Tourer has four-wheel-drive

A five-star Euro NCAP crash-test score should be reassuring for families

A low 9% Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) band is also likely to attract company-car drivers

Clever positioning of the battery pack beneath the rear seats has maintained interior space

The boot is 68 litres smaller than the petrol and diesel models, but still measures a sizeable 400 litres
