    Very interesting Interieur approach (even with glowing H&K Logo) and nice styling for a Van. But I really miss the idrive controller. Every modern BMW has to have it! That’s a Nogo for me and I just hope that they leave the controller for the other models

      Have changed my business car because of this idrive controller. Audi don`t have it anymore so I had to go for an BMW G21. Used 1,5 years the touchscreen madness of Audi and right now I´m really happy with the OS7 and that controller in my BMW.

    Brilliant review Thomas - so much detail… the car costs less than I was expecting because our UK dealers have included all the extras that we do not really need -Head Up Display, adaptive lights etc, £45,000. I can get a decent version with panoramic sunroof for £33,000, same as a Golf, but more luxurious. 41:02

  • @sha22276
    @sha22276 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Would be interesting to see a comparison with Golf SV (although it is no longer on sale so it may be difficult) or the B class. Also I think the car looks great. I genuinely like this segment of vehicles, small but still very practical.

    • @Brian-jv8iy
      @Brian-jv8iy 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      My mom had the Sporstvan Golf before switching to a T-Roc and I honestly miss the Sporstvan. It had the small 115 cv 1.6 tdi but I wouldn’t mind driving it instead of my BMW. Her 2 liter T-roc just isn’t the same, although I think they nailed the coupe crossover look, and it’s dark blue with dark wheels and aluminium trim. Just tiny on the inside, in the Sporstvan you saw a lot while seating low.

    Great car actually. I would prefer it to any crossover of that size. It still has decent ground clearence (171mm), more than many "cross" vehicles, like the Toyota Corolla Cross for instance, and AWD.... Has lots of practicality, looks good, nice equipment and sportiness. Basically, a great family all-rounder for a relatively affordable price. Seems strange that BMW makes these.... As always, great review Thomas!

    Ordered a 230 last week. Drive-tested a petrol one, with the added boost and the electric range, it's the perfect package and the perfect alternative to a SUV, which I'm not really fond of. Considering weight is going to play a role in car taxation very soon, owning a 2 ton SUV (and more) is not going to be pretty. I therefore believe MPVs are bound to have a big comeback. Coming from an AR Giulia Veloce, I now need a more practical car (one car instead of two with retirement in sight), but driving one of these lumpish SUVs (and parking it in ever smaller public spaces) wasn't exactly what I had in mind. ;-)

    • @user-bs1wx1tb7e
      @user-bs1wx1tb7e ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good choice. Fun fact: This has 171mm ground clearance. Same or more of most crossovers/suvs of the same length. So you aren't losing much not going "suv" anyway.

    I own this very same model in the hybrid version since beginning June, fully equipped incl sunroof and after 5000 kms I have to say I’m very satisfied either in performance and comfort as well.
    I’m 73 years old and this car returned me to the satisfaction to drive without feeling nostalgic to my previous Audi100, several A4 too, Volvo and MB C200.
    Regarding to space, it has been a nice surprise in all senses.
    My only complaint: the BMW voice assistance is disturbing more than a help since does not recognise most of the common questions and remains repetitively questioning. Often I try both, bmw and Siri assistance and in all cases Siri is more accurate by far.

    Speaking of that AC button that's missing. I never understood what the AC activation does. In my Zoe I have the temperature knob, and I use that very well in summer and in winter for hot and cold. And it has also an AC toggle that I don't know what it does. Same with the previous car. Does the majority of people know, I feel a bit left out. What does it do :D

    • @mikewestwood567
      @mikewestwood567 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most cars either have an AC or ECO button. This turns on or off the AC compressor which stops the refrigeration and dehumidifier features of the AC meaning better fuel economy but also means the car may struggle to reach the temperature required and the car will mist up in cold weather with old the AC on.

  • @Gaitini
    @Gaitini 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Are people changing the temperature in the car every 5’?! I don’t understand the issue with controls on the screen, I have my Tesla set for 19 degrees and never need to change it, winter or summer.. too much drama with the controls 😀

    Nice review. I would recommend to give voice control a chance, because that seems to have been improved a lot. Perhaps we would not miss the manual controls if voice control works fine. I am pretty sure that the car manufacturers are working on that very hard.

    Dear Thomas,
    another excellent review and a nice matching outfit :)
    I am watching this and the CX-30 review over and over again because I face a rather beautiful but difficult dilemma.
    I have to pick between the following:
    Option A: BMW 223i M sport package
    almost all imaginable bells and whistles (panoramic, tow hook, massage chairs, adaptive suspension, all driving assist packs, harman, 5yr warranty, extra set of winter tyres and rims, etc.)
    Price: my tradein + 22k EUR
    Option B: Mazda CX-30 skyactiv-X 2WD (186hp)
    top luxury line + sunroof (not panoramic as it is not an option) + some other nice stuff (tow hook, recording camera, 5yr warranty, extra set of winter tyres and rims, etc.)
    Price: my trade-in + 11k EUR
    Which one would YOU choose as a sole car to own for the next 4-5 years?
    If, by any chance, any of the other people in this lovely chat care to share an opinion (preferably after having driven or owned both), it would help a lot.
    Danke

    • @heshtele
      @heshtele 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@autogefuehl Thanks so much for replying. Well, if I couldn't afford the BMW at all, I wouldn't have the dilemma; my original budget was for 15k out-of-pocket, one is lower, one is higher than that but within reasonable margins.
      I can get the BMW with animal-free seating and it would actually cost less (now it's configured with the leather and I start to feel ashamed about it as I write) but for the mazda it is mandatory in the top trim as far as I know so I might not be able to do so (and I know you said at least for the Mazda that the non-leather seats are better).
      I guess there should be "some" (even if only 1-2-3k) difference in the resale value in 4-5 years also, which would make the "gap" narrower.

    it is a sneak peak in the new 7 series but i would really really like that the new stuff come with it. The steering wheel is AWESOME (and i suppose the 7er will have the button in piano or metal) and the air vents are perfect, only missing thing is seat heating/vent buttons that could be made like some kind of design element (even not in plasic but something interesting, they can think about that (maybe like the current 7 series air-temperature - the sliders on the dash)) but its ok. BMW is getting really in the right direction and with next iDrive they will find that this menu on the id8 isn't useful at all.

    • @Brian-jv8iy

    The old model looked like an Opel Zafira, but this lookes really much better. Specially the M model. Only you get with it also the M Sport comfort adjustement, which is for this particular model a disadvantage I think. Maybe still not BMW DNA but surely as a small family car BMW will attract even more customers. Also the inside, doesn't look anymore like a compromise between budget and brand. Really premium class. What I don't understand, is the removing of the touchpath button. Generally I liked the "old" strategy of voice, touchscreen and controller plus buttons, so for every situation you can use the best type of input. Base functions should inmediately be available, not hided in an overloaded app menu. The hybrid is impressive but how does it drive when you are on holiday and the battery is empty,; you are left with a small 3 cilinder engine and a heavy car. By the way, I would also choose Thomas Blue ;) beautiful colour.

    Premium, but less now. Since July 2023 all BMW Series 2 Active Tourer cars (U06) had entered into a cost cutting phase. The car as presented in the is not looking the same now. For example they remove
    - the glovebox light and currently there is hole there,
    - the nice stitching on the door panels,
    - the door sills and the wing M badges (for M sport trim)
    - and many others that are not easily observed.
    It's a pity since it is the last german car manufacturer that was still keeping the small car segment still with a premium feeling, not just by the price.
