The seven-seat version of the BMW 2-series Active Tourer will arrive in international markets in 2015. BMW's new seven-seat model will have the same wheelbase as the five-seat 2-series Active Tourer, which goes on sale internationally in September.
 
However, it will have slightly longer bodywork than the five-seater, which measures 4342mm in length. Occupant accommodation will be arranged in a two-three-two formation, with two small seats in the rear. It seems the model could feature some clever packaging of the two rear-most seats, which could fold out from the side of the car rather than up from the floor. It’s not yet clear how much boot space the seven seater will offer compared with the 468 to 1510 litres (with seats folded flat) of load room in the five-seat version.
 
BMW is expected to make a formal announcement about the seven-seat 2-series Active Tourer towards the end of this year.
