A first render image with the future BMW 2-Series Family Tourer has just emerged on the web, giving us a look on how the future family car will look like.

With the 2-Series Active Tourer being launched at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show this March, the German automaker is now planning to introduce a new sibling, the 2-Series Family Tourer.

We are talking here about a stretched version of the present Active Tourer, meaning that the model will come with an additional of two seats, reducing thus the rear passengers` space.

The BMW 2-Series Family Tourer will also come with longer rear doors, which would facilitate the access to the third row of seats, specially designed for children.

Under the hood, we should expect 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged unit, with 136 horsepower and 220 Nm of torque, in the 228i version.

The 225i version will get the 2.0-liter and four-cylinder, developing 231 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque, while the 281d will receive the 2.0-liter turbo diesel, with 150 horses and 330 Nm of torque.

The BMW 2-Series Family Tourer is expected to make public debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, this October, with sales to begin next year.

The BMW 2-Series Family Tourer is ending up in our news again in new shots, while the model was seen on public roads, during some tests.

The BMW German based automaker is trying to consolidate its 2-Series lineup, by adding a new model, the Family Tourer, which will stand on the same platform as the current Active Tourer.

The BMW 2-Series Family Tourer will resemble its sibling Active Tourer, with some slight modifications at the back, as the model in question will be coming in a 7-seat version.

The two extra seats at the back will be destined for children only, as the space will not allow enough space for adult passengers.

The future BMW 2-Series Family Tourer will be a little bit longer and taller at the rear, also to use the same engine lineup found on the same Active Tourer model.

We are talking about a 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged petrol and diesel units, while the range topping 2.0-liter unit, will develop 231 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque, the engine being hooked to an all-wheel drive, in the 228i xDrive.

The BMW 2-Series Family Tourer will be perhaps unveiled at the end of the year, with future details to be known at that moment.
