The Outdoor version of the Concept Active Tourer is aimed at people looking for a small car with lots of space while remaining environmentally friendly.
The design of the Outdoor concept remains basically the same from the previously shown version. It is now painted in Gold Race Orange and rides on 20in wheels.
The engine is a 1.5-liter three-cylinder mounted transversely at the front and powering the front wheels. It also has a plug-in hybrid for further efficiency and range. BMW claims that the powertrain would supply a total power output of 188hp and have 2.5l/100km (94mpg US or 113mpg UK) fuel economy and 60g/km of CO2 emissions. It would offer 20-30km of pure electric range (12-19 miles). That is enough to get it to 100km/h in less than eight seconds and have a top speed of 200km/h.
The actual vehicle is 4.35m long and 1.833m wide with a 2.67m long wheelbase. The move to front wheel drive increases interior space over a traditional BMW and allows for a lower load floor.
The interior was reworked to be friendlier to the outdoor user. The seats sit high for better visibility, and the leather is hardwearing and easy to clean. The floor of the cargo area is made from studded plastic.
The interior includes an internal carrier for two bicycles. When not in use, the carrier folds into the cargo area floor.

So, in 1913,... more
