The 2023-2025 BMW 230e Active Tourer is a plug-in hybrid with an all-wheel drive, petrol-electric powertrain boasting up to 322bhp, capable of 0-60mph in around 5.3-5.5 seconds. Reviewers praise its performance, well-made and spacious cabin, and the relaxing, premium experience offered by its electric-only driving range of up to 55.9 miles. It is known for being a curious outlier in BMW's range, designed specifically for families. It is well-suited for family use and daily commuting, offering a blend of performance, practicality, and efficiency.
The BMW 230e Active Tourer is a plug-in hybrid with relatively new technology, so long-term reliability data is limited. Expect higher maintenance costs typical of BMW (premium parts/labor) plus hybrid-specific servicing. Insurance may be elevated due to expensive hybrid components. Battery warranty typically covers 8 years/100k miles, mitigating replacement concerns.
