Compared to the 2 Series Active Tourer, the Gran Tourer owns a body almost the same as its predecessor. However, the Active Tourer is a 5-seater while the Gran Tourer is a 7-seater car. Therefore, the later, no doubt, is a bigger brother with 53 mm higher and 214 mm longer than the Active. 

When it comes to the interior, the difference is clearer. The Gran Tourer features a spacious cabin and a great practicality of a conventional MPV. Moreover, being equipped with foldable third-row seats, the new one offers 560L trunk space, which can be widened up to 1,820L.
