The 2 Series Gran Tourer is a long wheelbase, three-row version, which was released in June 2015. It is the first and the only three-row MPV ever produced by BMW. Compared to the Active Tourer, its wheelbase is lengthened by 110 mm (4.3 in) to 2,780 mm (109.4 in) in order to fit the third-row seating, which folds flat. A two-row version is also offered as the base option for some models. At launch, the vehicle was offered with Advantage, Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport trim levels in Europe.
[28]
A 645 L (22.8 cu ft) of cargo space is available in the standard five-seat variant, which can be expanded to 805 L (28.4 cu ft) by sliding the rear seats forward. With the third-row seating option, the boot space decreases to 560 L (19.8 cu ft) with the last row folded down flat to the floor.
