COMMENTS
Adult occupant
The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal impact. The passenger dummy showed good protection
of all critical parts of the body. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver
and passenger. BMW showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and
to those sat in different positions. However, injury parameters indicated weak protection of the driver's lower legs. In
the side barrier test, the 2 Series Active Tourer scored maximum points, with good protection of all body regions.
Even in the more severe side pole test, the car scored maximum points with good protection of all areas, most
notably the chest. Tests showed that the front seats and head restraints would provide good protection against
whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision and a geometrical assessment of the rear seats also indicated
good protection. Moreover, the 2 Series Active Tourer has a standard-fit autonomous emergency braking system that
works at low speeds typical of city driving. Euro NCAP's tests showed that collisions could be avoided at speeds up
to 20km/h and collision severity mitigated at higher speeds, up to 50km/h.
Child occupant
The 2 Series Active Tourer scored maximum points in the dynamic tests for its protection of both the 1 year and
the3 year dummy. Both dummies were sat in rearward-facing restraints, providing the best form of protection in the
frontal impact. In the side barrier test, both dummies were properly contained within the protective shells of their
restraints, minimising the likelihood of dangerous head contact with the vehicle interior. The front passenger airbag
can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is
provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. All of the restraints for which
the car is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the vehicle.
Pedestrian
The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer has an active bonnet which lifts when a pedestrian is struck to provide greater
clearance to the hard structures in the engine compartment. BMW demonstrated that the system would detect a
range of pedestrian statures over a wide range of speeds, so the car was tested with the bonnet in the deployed
position. On the bonnet surface, the protection offered to a pedestrian's head was good or adequate almost
everywhere. Some poor results were recorded at the base of the windscreen and on the stiff windscreen pillars. The
front edge of the bonnet performed well towards the centreline of the vehicle but gave poor results elsewhere. The
bumper offered good protection to pedestrians' legs and scored maximum points.
Safety assist
The 2 Series Active Tourer has electronic stability control as standard equipment. A seatbelt reminder is standard for
the front and rear seats. An autonomous emergency braking system is standard equipment and, in Euro NCAP's
tests, showed adequate performance. A driver-set speed limitation device is available as an option but is expected to
be fitted to most cars sold. The system met Euro NCAP's requirements for speed-limiters of this type. A lanekeeping aid is also an option but was not included in the assessment as it is not expected to be fitted to most cars
sold.
