Con la plataforma del serie A, cuanto juego está dando viene a ser como un GLA de 7 plazas, otro zarrio para la colección The new Mercedes-Benz GLB: for family & friends Stuttgart/Salt Lake City. The new GLB is a versatile SUV with powerful proportions, short overhangs and an off-road-oriented design, as well as optional 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The GLB also serves as a spacious family car that offers even more flexibility as the first Mercedes-Benz in this segment available as a seven-seater. Powerful and efficient fourcylinder engines paired with the latest driving assistance systems, and the intuitively operable infotainment system MBUX, help to equip this new family member (length/width/height:182/72/65 inches1) with all the strengths of the current generation Mercedes-Benz compact-class. The allnew 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB will celebrate its World Premiere in Utah in June and will go on sale in the U.S. by the end of the year. At 111.4 inches, the GLB’s wheelbase is 5.1 inches longer than the GLA and 1.7 inches shorter than the GLC SUV. The headroom in the first seat row is 41 inches, and the effective legroom in the rear measures at 38 inches, making the five-seater an exceptionally comfortable ride. The load compartment capacity of 20 to 62 cubic feet (figures for the fiveseater)* provides spaciousness for various occasions. The second row seats offer passengers the ability to adjust the inclination of the backrests in several stages while also providing the flexibility to adjust the seats forward increasing the cargo compartment by up to 6 cubic feet. Height information for five-seater. Seven seater: 65 in Success story: the eighth model in the compact car family Globally, one in three Mercedes-Benz cars is now an SUV, and one in four a compact model. A compact SUV like the GLB therefore combines all the success factors of the company's highest-volume segments. With the new GLB, the global compact car family from Mercedes-Benz now consists of eight models: the A-Class, A-Class Sedan and long-wheelbase AClass Sedan, B-Class, CLA Coupe, CLA Wagon and the GLA are already on the market. In 2018 over 609,000 customers all over the world were able to take delivery of a compact model. Since the A-Class was launched in 1997, over 6.5 million vehicles from this segment have been sold worldwide by MercedesBenz. In the U.S, market the GLB will join the compact car family that currently includes the A-Class Sedan, the CLA Coupe and the GLA. Ready for boarding: up to seven seats The GLB is the first compact vehicle from Mercedes-Benz to offer an optional third row with two additional seats. The extensive safety equipment includes retractable headrests, seat belts with belt tensioners, and a side window airbag, which also protects the passengers in the third seat row. Additionally, the GLB supplies ISOFIX and TOP-Tether anchorages for suitable child seats, and these can be used to attach up to four child seats in the rear. Comfort details in the third row include two drink holders between the seats as well as two stowage compartments with a rubberized insert on the left and right in the load compartment trim, each with a USB-C port. The seats can be folded so that they are flush with the load compartment floor in order to extend the load compartment. The variability in detail: Variability Five-seater Seven-seater (option) Second seat row Seat backrest can be divided and folded in a ratio of 40:20:40 Multi-stage seat backrest inclination adjustment Seat row can be moved 6 inches longitudinally, sitting surface can be divided in a ratio of 40:60 (option) Seat row can be moved 6 inches longitudinally, sitting surface can be divided in a ratio of 40:60 EASY-ENTRY function Third seat row - Two retractable individual seats Off-road orientation: the exterior design The powerful proportions of the GLB underscore its off-road design. The surfaces of the forms are emphasized, while lines are minimized and the seams are executed with high precision. The upright front section with its striking headlamps are clear evidence of off-road genes, as are the short overhangs at the front and rear. The muscular vehicle shoulder dominates the side view at the height of the Cpillar, an effect reinforced by the rising waistline. The doors reach over the side bar, improving ease of access, while keeping the door openings free of dirt, as well as increasing protection in the event of a side impact. All-round protective claddings divide the overall proportions and emphasize the vehicle's off-road character, as do the optical underride guard at the front and rear. "Its iconic design lends the Mercedes-Benz GLB an unmistakable SUV character," says Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer at Daimler AG. "The clear forms with reduced lines and powerful surfaces conveys our design philosophy of Sensual Purity." With aluminum details: the interior design The instrument panel consists of a single piece, which has optical cutouts in the driver and front passenger area. There is a widescreen cockpit facing the driver while the functions and displays are controlled via MBUX (MercedesBenz User Experience). A new feature is the off-road tubular element in an aluminum look, which rounds off the lower section of the instrument panel and houses the three round center air vents. These give the dashboard support and create an impression of robustness, power and a certain element of fun. Below the air vents is the air conditioning control panel, whose buttons create the impression that they have been milled from a solid aluminum cylinder. The robust character of the interior continues in the center console. Tubular elements in a machined look lend strength to the design of the components and controls. Along the doors, the SUV character is accentuated by its horizontal grab handles as part of the standard design and equipment line, this forms a robust part of the door panel structure, resembling a modified aluminum tube. Spot on for hills and valleys The LED High Performance headlamps are available for the GLB on request. These allow extremely quick and precise, electronically controlled adjustment of the headlamps to suit the current traffic situation. As an option, there are also front fog lamps with LED technology. They are able to distribute the light to reach a wider range than the main headlamps, and thus are able to increase illumination in peripheral areas, while their low position in the front bumper helps reduce the risk of dazzling oncoming traffic. From A for Assistance to M for MBUX: the technical details The GLB benefits from the technical highlights of the current compact-class generation from Mercedes-Benz. These include in particular: The four-cylinder gas engine, which was completely updated to relaunch the compact model series. Compared to the previous generation, they excel with considerably increased specific outputs, improved efficiency and lower emissions. The driving assistance systems with cooperative support for the driver and functionality from the S-Class: thanks to improved camera and radar systems, the GLB can look up to 1,641 feet ahead and can drive partially autonomously in certain situations. For example, by conveniently adapting the speed before corners, crossroads or roundabouts using the Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC with recourse to maps and navigation data. As a new function of the Active Steering Assist, among other things, there is also the intuitive Active Lange Change Assist. If the Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC is additionally on board, the GLB also has the function extended to automatically restart in traffic jams. The comfort suspension: at the front, the GLB has MacPherson suspension struts, at the rear an acoustically and vibrationally decoupled multi-link axle with compression springs. Adaptive adjustable damping is available on request. With this, the driver can change between more comfort or particularly sporty tuning via the DYNAMIC SELECT switch. The intuitively operable infotainment system MBUX - Mercedes-Benz User Experience: The powerful computer, brilliant screens and graphics, individualizable depiction, all-color head-up display, navigation with augmented reality, learning-capable software and the voice control which can be activated with "Hey Mercedes" are the key advantages of the system. Adding more traction: the 4MATIC all-wheel drive The GLB can be equipped with the permanent all-wheel drive system 4MATIC, with variable torque distribution. This sporty all-wheel drive configuration allows the driver to use the DYNAMIC SELECT switch to influence the characteristics of 4MATIC. Three characteristic programs are available to control the all-wheel drive clutch, though the system responds flexibly to the current driving situation in any mode. In regular driving operation, the drive program "Eco/Comfort" is based on an 80:20 distribution (front axle: rear axle), while in "Sport" it is 70:30. In off-road mode the all-wheel drive clutch acts as an inter-axle differential lock, with the basic distribution a balanced 50:50. 4MATIC components include the power take-off to the rear axle, which is integrated into the automated dual clutch transmission, and the rear axle differential with an integrated multiplate clutch. This is electro-mechanically operated. Via a spur gear and ball ramp, an electric motor exerts an axial force on the clutch pack to open or close the plates. The rear axle differential compensates the different paths/rotational speeds of the rear wheels. The advantages of this control system are above all non-rpm-dependent operation across the entire actuation range, pilot control of the clutch while still stationary and higher efficiency thanks to the ball ramp concept. Useful in easy off -road terrain: the Off-Road Engineering Package The Off-Road Engineering Package, which comes as standard on the GLB 250 4MATIC, encompasses an additional drive program. It adapts the engine's power delivery and the ABS control to easy off-road terrain away from paved roads. It can be activated via the DYNAMIC SELECT switch. Other elements of the Off-Road Engineering Package: An animation of the driving situation can be called up in the media display. The realistic presentation of gradient, inclination angle and technical settings helps the driver to judge maneuvers correctly. The hill-start assistance system Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR) automatically adheres to a preselected, slow speed between approx. 1 and 11 mph, it can be read out in the instrument cluster and in the optional head-up display. With targeted brake applications the assistant helps retain control during steep downhill driving. Powerful and efficient engine The new GLB places its trust in the four-cylinder gas engine, which was completely updated to relaunch the compact model series. In comparison to the previous generation, it is characterized by significantly increased power, improved efficiency and emissions. The two-liter M 260 engine in the GLB 250 has cast-iron cylinder liners in its engine block of diecast aluminum, widening at the lower end as per the CONICSHAPE® principle. In-house the cylinder bore process is descriptively known as "trumpet-honing". This minimizes piston friction and cuts consumption. In the aluminum four-valve cylinder head, the CAMTRONIC variable valve timing system allows two-stage adjustment of the valve lift on the intake side. The all-new 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB will go on sale in the U.S. by the end of the year.

yo no se ustedes pero me parecen todos iguales. Me pasa igual que con los bmw. Serie 3, Serie 3 GT, Serie 4, Serie 4 de 4 puertas, Serie 5, Serie 5 GT.... NO TENGO coj*nes A DIFERENCIARLOS A PRIMERA VISTA
Parece un Tiguan, el primero que sacaron. Yo con esta clase de coches hay tantos y tan similares que ya confundo un modelo con otro.
No es un tipo de coche que me interese, pero yo la verdad es que lo veo curioso, no me parece feo, al menos no más feo que tantos otros zarrios...incluyendo alguno de “nuestra” marca. Creo que voy a ser desterrado de este foro
Mercedes-Benz GLB (2020) | Información general Pablo David González (@PD_Gonzalez) El Mercedes-Benz GLB es un nuevo modelo de Mercedes-Benz con una carrocería de tipo todoterreno y un habitáculo con hasta siete plazas. Mide 4,634 metros de longitud, 1,834 m de anchura y 1,658 m de altura (la versión de siete plazas es 4 mm más alta, 1,662 m). Un Mercedes-Benz GLC, que sólo puede tener cinco plazas, es 2,2 y 5,6 centímetros más largo y ancho respectivamente y 1,4 cm más bajo. El GLB llegará a los concesionarios a finales de 2019. De serie trae cinco plazas y la posibilidad de reclinar en varias posiciones los respaldos de la fila posterior, que están divididos en tres partes (proporción 40:20:40). En opción se puede pedir que la banqueta esté dividida en dos partes (60:40) y que cada una de ellas se pueda desplazar 14 centímetros en sentido longitudinal. Con la opción de siete plazas se incluye la regulación longitudinal de 14 cm de la segunda fila. Según Mercedes-Benz, en la tercera fila hay espacio para acomodar bien a dos personas de hasta 1,68 metros de estatura. Entre medias de los dos asientos hay una consola con dos portalatas y en cada reposabrazos lateral hay un puerto USB. Estos asientos tienen anclajes ISOFIX, son abatibles y quedan enrasados con el piso del habitáculo cuando se pliegan. El volumen del maletero del GLB de cinco asientos es 560 litros (no tenemos el dato del GLB de siete). Son 10 litros más que el del GLC y 115 más que el de un Clase B, si bien la carrocería de este último es 21,5 cm más corta. No obstante, hay modelos con carrocería todoterreno de longitud similar que tienen un maletero más capaz. Dos ejemplos son el Peugeot 5008 (4,64 metros de longitud y 702 litros de maletero, además también está disponible con siete plazas) y el Toyota RAV4 (4,60 m y 580 l, solo puede ser cinco plazas). En caso de pedir la opción de segunda fila deslizable y de echar esta lo más hacia delante posible, se ganan 179 litros en el espacio de carga (a expensas del espacio para las piernas). El diseño de la instrumentación y de la consola central es el mismo que Mercedes-Benz emplea en el Clase A, Clase B y CLA Coupé entre otros. Tan solo cambia ligeramente el aspecto de la parte que queda enfrente del pasajero y el de los paneles de las puertas. La instrumentación y el sistema multimedia se ven en sendas pantallas de 10,25 pulgadas. El sistema operativo es MBUX, el más avanzado a día de hoy de Mercedes-Benz. Una de las características más reseñables de este sistema es su capacidad para reconocer comandos vocales. En las impresiones del interior de Clase A os hablamos con mayor detalle del MBUX. La gama de motores está compuesta por dos Diesel (150 y 190 CV) y dos de gasolina (163 y 224 CV). Todos son de cuatro cilindros, están turboalimentados y unidos a una caja de cambios automática de doble embrague y ocho relaciones llamada 8G-DCT (excepto el de gasolina de 163 CV, que tiene una de siete, 7G-DCT). El motor de gasolina de 163 CV (versión GLB 200) pertenece a la familia M 282 y ha sido desarrollado en colaboración con Renault. Solo puede ser tracción delantera. El de 224 CV (versión GLB 250), familia M 260, va siempre unido al sistema de tracción total permanente 4MATIC. Los dos motores Diesel son de la familia OM 654q y tienen 1951 cm³ de cilindrada. El de 150 CV (GLB 200 d) está disponible con tracción delantera y total 4MATIC. El del 190 CV (versión GLB 220 d) solo con tracción 4MATIC. Sobre todos estos motores hay más datos en la información técnica del Mercedes-Benz Clase A. El sistema 4MATIC hace una distribución automática del par entre ambos ejes de ruedas mediante un embrague multidisco controlado electrónicamente. El reparto de par es variable y depende de factores como la demanda de aceleración, si hay o no pérdidas de tracción y del modo de conducción seleccionado. Según esto último, hay tres configuraciones base: en modo ECO y COMFORT la distribución de par en condiciones óptimas es 80 % al eje delantero y 20 % al trasero; en modo SPORT la distribución es 70:30, es decir, que el eje trasero siempre recibe un poco más de par motor; por último, en modo off-road la distribución es al 50 % entre ambos ejes. Las versiones con tracción total llevan el paquete Off-Road Engineering. Este incluye el modo de conducción off-road —además de modificar el reparto base de par también afecta al funcionamiento del ABS—, un menú específico en el sistema multimedia para ver datos como la inclinación lateral, un sistema de ayuda al descenso de pendientes —cuya velocidad se puede ajustar entre 2 y 18 km/h— y, en combinación con los faros matriciales de led MULTIBEAM LED (es una opción), una función especial de iluminación pensada para facilitar la visualización de noche de aquellos obstáculos que haya en el frente. Esta función especial consiste en que las luces de curva están permanentemente encendidas, siempre que se circule por debajo de 50 km/h. La gestión conjunta de los datos recogidos por la cámara y radar frontales permite detectar obstáculos a una distancia de hasta 500 metros. El programador de velocidad activo es capaz de ajustar la velocidad no solo en función de la distancia con el vehículo precedente, sino también en el caso de aproximarse a una curva, un cruce o una rotonda utilizando para ello los datos del sistema de navegación. En el eje delantero hay columnas McPherson y en el trasero un sistema multibrazo. En opción es posible pedir amortiguadores de dureza variable. Los muelles son siempre helicoidales, no hay opción de unos de tipo neumático, como en el GLC. El Mercedes-Benz GLB se fabrica en la ciudad de Aguascalientes (México), excepto aquellas unidades destinadas al mercado chino, que se producirán en Pekín. https://www.km77.com/coches/mercedes/glb/2020/estandar/informacion

https://www.carbuyer.co.uk/news/168878/mercedes-glb-vs-volvo-xc40-vs-new-bmw-x1-specs-comparison Mercedes GLB vs Volvo XC40 vs new BMW X1: specs comparison Jun 18, 2019 How does the all-new Mercedes GLB compare to the Volvo XC40 and the facelifted BMW X1? You’re truly spoilt for choice if you’re in the market for an upmarket small SUV, and Mercedes’ contribution is the all-new GLB. As the name suggests, it slots between the GLA and GLC but its surprisingly boxy styling allows it to offer the option of seven seats. In this respect, it stands out in the premium small SUV class, as none of its rivals have space for three rows of seats. Chunky styling is fashionable at the moment, which is part of the reason for the success of the Volvo XC40. It blends the luxurious interior of Volvo’s more expensive SUVs with smaller dimensions and a lower price. We’ve also pitted the GLB against the facelifted BMW X1, which has been a big seller for BMW. It’s one of the best small SUVs to drive, offers plenty of space for five people and has a high-quality interior. While the Mercedes GLB will have plenty of rivals, we’ve focused our comparison on two of the alternative premium small SUVs you can buy. This class of car is growing all the time and demand for SUVs with desirable badges doesn’t look like slowing any time soon. If you’re looking to park one of these cars on your driveway, we’ve put together a specs comparison so you can see which one best fits your lifestyle. Exterior There are plenty of small SUVs vying for your attention, so a premium badge alone isn’t enough. Styling is very subjective, but we think all these cars look very smart. The GLB - Mercedes’ eighth SUV - looks very similar to the Mercedes GLC but with a squarer shape and a chunkier profile. It’s a little shorter than the GLC but the GLB is actually a smidge taller to improve headroom. The BMW X1 has been cleverly designed to look and feel as big as possible, despite having a relatively compact footprint. At first glance you might mistake it for the larger BMW X3, and the trim level you choose switches the emphasis between either rugged or sporty. Trim levels for the GLB haven’t been revealed yet but we expect sporty-looking AMG Line versions to be available as soon as the car goes on sale. Although you can get the Volvo XC40 in a racier R-Dynamic trim level, the car majors in comfort and luxury. The XC40 stands out with its bluff styling and its LED daytime running lights, which are designed to look like Thor’s hammer. The rear lights extend up to the roof, which is available in a contrasting colour - the BMW and Mercedes don’t come with this option. Interior A car’s styling will make the first impression but the interior is even more important - you’ll spend more time inside the car than looking at it, after all. Mercedes has set the benchmark with its latest interiors, as they’re very swish and feel special. Based on the interior of the Mercedes A-Class, the cabin of the GLB features two adjoining screens - one to deal with the infotainment and sat nav, and one to show your driving information in place of analogue dials - and three round central air vents. It features ambient lighting and plush materials to make this family SUV feel very luxurious. You know exactly what you’re getting with a modern BMW interior; the layout is ergonomic and well-honed, and most of the controls are focused towards the driver. The dials on most X1s are still analogue, and the sat nav screen is a bit smaller at six inches. Despite that, it features all the technology of the other cars, and there’s plenty more available as options if you don’t mind dipping into the options list. Volvo hasn’t always been thought of as a premium manufacturer but in recent years it has built a strong reputation as exactly that, thanks in part to the design of its current interior. Whichever Volvo you’re in, be it the XC40, the S60 or the full-size Volvo XC90 SUV, all have a stylish portrait touchscreen, expensive-feeling materials and a level of refinement that you’ll appreciate after a hard day at work. It feels uncluttered and minimalist, and shows you don’t have to buy a German car to enjoy an upmarket cabin. Technology Technology is a buzzword for cars like these, and manufacturers are constantly competing with each other to innovate. Look at the Mercedes GLB’s interior and your eyes are instantly drawn to the large screens on top of the dashboard. Two sizes are available, and you’ll want to spec the larger screens to make the most of the tech. The right-hand screen replaces the dials and shows all your useful driving information, alongside navigation directions and infotainment. As part of the new MBUX infotainment system, the GLB gets the ‘Hey Mercedes’ voice control as standard, plus the option of augmented reality sat nav that overlays directions onto a real-time view of the road ahead. The X1 provides the latest iteration of BMW’s iDrive software for its infotainment, with an intuitive rotary controller positioned near the gear lever. For the first time, the screen can be controlled by touch too. iDrive controls the sat nav (fitted as standard), media, phone information and other functions, and there’s an electronic tailgate on all models. Options include full LED headlights, a panoramic glass sunroof and a new M Sport Plus pack. Volvo’s main bit of kit is its Sensus infotainment system, which controls most of the car’s functions. It takes a bit of getting used to but once you’re up and running it’s handy and logical. All cars get dual-zone climate control, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, cruise control and parking sensors but for around £1,500 you can add the Pro pack, which includes heated front seats and windscreen, adaptive headlights and folding side mirrors. Practicality These SUVs are a similar size but Mercedes has thrown a curveball at its rivals by offering the option of seven seats. Because the GLB isn’t as big as most seven-seaters, the rearmost seats are a little cramped. However, Mercedes says they’re fine for anyone up to 5’6”, they have phone cubbies and USB-C ports, and they fold flat. Up to four ISOFIX child-seat mounting points are available. When you don’t need the back seats, there’s 560 litres of boot space, and 1,700 litres if you fold down the middle row. With all seats in place, though, there’s just 130 litres at your disposal. Considering the BMW X1 is one of the company’s smallest SUVs, there’s plenty of space in the back seats for all but the tallest adults. The seats individually fold for extra versatility, allowing owners to create a ski-hatch by putting just the middle seat down. Each seatback can adjust through six positions and the seats can slide backwards or forwards to prioritise passenger or boot space. Behind the seats, there’s a large 505-litre boot. The Volvo is a little smaller, so doesn’t do quite so well in terms of practicality. Still, there’s plenty of room for four large adults, and the 460-litre boot is much bigger than similarly sized family hatchbacks. A person sitting in the middle rear seat might not be so comfortable because the chunky transmission tunnel robs space and legroom. Safety It’s likely that these SUVs will be predominantly bought by families, so safety will be a primary concern for many buyers. The BMW X1 and Volvo XC40 both gained the maximum five-star ratings, as did the Mercedes A-Class, with which the GLB shares its underpinnings. The A-Class gets automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, a driver drowsiness sensor, speed limit assistance and cruise control as standard, so expect the GLB to follow suit. Active parking assistance and adaptive LED headlights will be optional. Delve into the XC40’s safety report in more detail and you’ll see that it scored an impressive 97% for adult occupant protection and 87% for child protection. Its auto emergency braking system not only recognises vehicles but pedestrians, cyclists and some animals too. All versions also feature Volvo On Call, which combines a smartphone app and the ability to automatically contact the emergency services in the event of a collision. The BMW did almost as well in the Euro NCAP test but, disappointingly, you have to pay extra for some safety kit that’s thrown in as standard on other cars. Engines and electrification Modern engines are so good that there’s often little to choose between different manufacturers. In the GLB, you’ve a choice of engines derived from the A-Class. The range kicks off with a 160bhp 1.3-litre petrol engine, with two 2.0-litre engines above it offering 148 and 187bhp. There are two 2.0-litre diesels available with 148 and 187bhp, with four-wheel-drive available on both. All engines are mated to an automatic gearbox, while a hybrid version may join the line-up in the next two to three years. BMW offers two petrol engines with the X1 - a 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine with 138bhp or a 2.0-litre 189bhp engine that’s available with either two- or four-wheel drive. Like the Mercedes, the two diesel engines are 2.0-litres in size, and offer the same 148 and 187bhp versions. Four-wheel drive is offered on both these engines and BMW does allow you to choose a manual gearbox on cheaper models. The facelifted X1 will also get a four-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid model (badged xDrive25e) that’ll manage 31 miles of electric range and will have a battery conservation mode. In the Volvo, you have a choice of three petrol engines, starting with a three-cylinder 154bhp 1.5-litre engine with a manual gearbox. There are two 2.0-litre engines with either 187 or 244bhp, both with an automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive. Diesels are strikingly familiar - two 2.0-litre versions with either 148 or 187bhp. The entry-level petrol will be the base for a plug-in hybrid model due before the end of 2019. Verdict There’s arguably never been a better time to buy a small premium SUV, as there are plenty of choices and most are excellent all-rounders. The Mercedes GLB has introduced something new into this class of car, and it’s likely to appeal to families who value practicality and style. We can’t help thinking that the Mercedes might not look quite so good on your drive as the BMW X1 or the Volvo XC40, but obviously this comes down to personal preference. The Mercedes has the best interior, the XC40 is relaxing to drive and the X1 is a spacious and well-appointed five-seater. We’d recommend driving at least two of them, and seeing which takes your fancy.
Ya sabréis que BMW va a dejar de fabricar los serie 2 Active Tourer... ... los mongovolumen no triunfan, lo que se llevan son SUVebordillos como esta caja zapatos que se venderá como churros, con el motor más pequeño pero paquete AMG Line, como este
Eso parece... BMW confirma la eliminación de los Serie 2 Active Tourer y Gran Tourer 0 BMW Serie 2 Active Tourer y Gran Tourer faceliftBMW Sergio J. Cabrera@SergioJCabrerasergio.j.cabrera19 Jun 2019 - 20:45h Ha sido Peter Henrich, vicepresidente de producto de la marca alemana, el que ha confirmado en una reciente entrevista la muerte de ambos modelos. Estos no serán sustituidos por ningún otro modelo al final de su vida comercial, al menos no directamente, ya que el mismo ejecutivo ha confirmado que la marca tratará de atender a sus clientes con su gama SUV. Aunque ya te habíamos adelantado la muerte de la variante de 7 plazas, las palabras de Henrich ahora confirman que la variante corta también sufrirá el mismo destino y no tendrá sucesor. Por lo que el historial de ambos modelos solo contará con una generación, la actual, que precisamente estrenó una actualización recientemente. Como ya te adelantamos en su momento, las versiones monovolumen de la firma de Munich no están pasando por su mejor momento. Las tendencias del mercado apuntan claramente en la dirección opuesta a los monovolúmenes, por lo que las ventas de los MPV alemanes, sin ser malas, están en caída libre. El año pasado ambos modelos firmaron 68.000 unidades, frente a las más de 100.000 unidades del ejercicio inmediatamente anterior. Lo que ha llevado a la compañía a mirar a otras tipologías de modelos para este nicho del segmento compacto. BMW Serie 2 Active Tourer y Serie 2 Gran Tourer facelift. El BMW Serie 2 Active Tourer de 5 plazas fue presentado en 2014 y un año después fue desvelado el Serie 2 Gran Tourer, que no deja de ser la variante alargada de 7 plazas del primero. Estos no solo fueron los primeros monovolúmenes de BMW, sino que supusieron los primeros modelos de tracción delantera de la marca alemana. Estos contaron con una gama compuesta por motores diésel y gasolina, además de la variante híbrida enchufable 225xe iPerformance Active Tourer. La decisión de la firma de Munich no nos sorprende, puesto que rivales como Mercedes ya cuentan con crossovers compactos de 5 o 7 plazas, que cubren perfectamente el hueco de estos MPVs de BMW, aunque con un formato bastante más atractivo para los clientes, como es el caso del recién presentado Mercedes Clase GLB, del que ya sabemos que contará incluso con una versión deportiva AMG. Por ahora no sabemos cuándo desaparecerán estos modelos del mercado, puesto que la marca acaba de estrenar precisamente una actualización de medio ciclo de vida de ambas variantes, pero será de esperar que se mantengan un poco más en el mercado. https://www.motor.es/noticias/bmw-serie-2-active-tourer-cancelado-201958432.html
