Used BMW MPV for sale

Popular BMW MPVs

BMW has an extensive family of models, but the truth is that most drivers these days want to buy stylish SUVs or aerodynamic and efficient estates, so its MPV lineup is pretty limited.

The MPV family belongs to the 2 Series range, and the most common is the 2 Series Active Tourer. It’s a five-seater with plenty of powertrain options and a comfortable ride.

You can get the bigger, seven-seat 2 Series Gran Tourer, but you’ll need to buy used because BMW didn’t renew it for a second generation like it did with the mechanically similar Active Tourer model.

BMW MPV practicality

Used BMW MPVs provide a spacious interior with comfortable seating, ergonomically laid out controls and a soft ride.

Handy features include three individually folding rear seats and a pretty flat loading area, which makes the 2 Series Active Tourer’s boot slightly more usable in the real world than the Mercedes B-Class’ boot (which is a touch bigger on paper).

The wide-opening doors and higher seating position also make it easy to load children’s seats and other items.

What size BMW MPVs are available?

Used BMW MPVs come in five- and seven-seater forms, so you can choose exactly how practical you need your people carrier to be.

Besides seating configurations, you can also pick from efficient powertrains including impressive plug-in hybrids.

BMW MPV efficiency

For previous-generation models, the usual suspects were all available, including 216d, 218d, 220d, 218i and 220i engines, but the standout model was the 225xe available only on the five-seater Active Tourer variant.

It’s pretty quick but promises much cheaper running costs if you can plug it in frequently, plus it has four-wheel drive as standard for extra grip in slippery conditions.

Newer models come with two plug-in options, with either 245hp or 326hp. Both can do 50 or so miles on electric power alone, making them incredibly cost-effective for anyone with access to cheap-rate electricity.

Who are BMW MPVs suitable for?

BMW MPVs for sale are designed primarily for families who need a spacious, comfortable and high-riding vehicle.

These models are ideal for those who prioritise passenger comfort and luggage space, but they also prove you don’t have to go without modern features like smartphone connectivity and a solid infotainment system.

Whether you’re a growing family, a road-trip enthusiast or just an adventurous individual who needs a lot of space, a used BMW MPV could be the perfect choice.
