马开发部门主管Herbert Diess宣布，公司产品阵容（包括MINI品牌）将扩展至30款后驱车型和15款前驱车型。宝马将大规模开发前驱车型，这其中至少有五款车属于宝马品牌。第一款已经可以确定的是2系Active Tourer，该车刚刚发布，此前谍照记者也拍到了未经伪装的原型车照片。即将在日内瓦车展与公众见面的2系Active Tourer将于今年夏季上市，最初上市的是五座版，随后在年底还将有一款七座版。除了前轮驱动外，该车在设计上还将突出动感和运动风格，因为这毕竟还是一辆宝马品牌车型。2系Active Tourer核心市场是欧洲大陆，但美国和亚洲市场据说对该车也很有兴趣。

 

BMW and MINI to launch 15 front-wheel drive models

BMW development chief Herbert Diess has announced the company's lineup (including MINI) will grow to 30 rear-wheel drive and 15 front-wheel drive models.

 

Get ready for a FWD assault from BMW as at least five of those front-wheel drive models will wear the BMW badge. The first to pave the way will be the 2-Series Active Tourer which hasn't been officially revealed yet but our spies managed to snap photos of an undisguised prototype so the cat is pretty much out of the back.

 

Scheduled to be unveiled next month in Geneva, the BMW 2-Series Active Tourer is slated to go on sale this summer as a five-seater which will be joined before the end of this year by a seven-seat derivative. Despite the FWD layout, the Active Tourer "has been designed with dynamism and athleticism in mind. It is still a BMW", according to sources within the company cited by Autocar. Most of the 2-Series Active Tourer sales will come from Europe but United States and Asia are reportedly very interested in getting this model.
