The cover may have officially been pulled off the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/bmw+2+series+active+toure r/">BMW 2 Series Active Tourer</a> at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/geneva-motor-show/">Geneva Motor Show</a>, but <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> has apparently continued working on other variants behind closed doors. While at first glance this prototype looks like any other Active Tourer, the "Hybrid Test Vehicle" stickers <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-2-series-active-tourer-hybrid-spy-shots/#photo-2617069">on the passenger door</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-2-series-active-tourer-hybrid-spy-shots/#photo-2617073">rear bumper</a> give it away as something a little different.<br />
<br />
Details about the hybrid Active Tourer are somewhat sketchy at the moment, but BMW indicated its likely direction for the electrified hatchback in the earlier <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/bmw+concept+active+tourer/">Concept Active Tourer</a>. It used a hybridized 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine coupled with an electric motor with a total system output of 190 horsepower and 147 pound-feet of torque. The company claimed that it had a roughly 19-mile electric range and could hit 62 miles per hour in under 8 seconds. However, the Bavarian automaker hasn't said yet whether this powertrain would be used in the production version.<br />

The internal combustion 2 Series Active Tourer <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/11/26/2015-bmw-active-tourer-report/">is rumored to come to the US in 2015</a>. Given the nearly complete look of the test car, the hybrid might not be too far behind.<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/05/14/bmw-working-on-2-series-active-hybrid-tourer/">BMW working on 2 Series Active Hybrid Tourer</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 14 May 2014 18:30:00 EST.
