The first-ever BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe (fuel consumption combined:
7.1 – 4.2 l/100 km [62.8 – 67.3 mpg imp]; CO₂ emissions
combined: 162 – 110 g/km*) brings the four-door coupe concept that
has already enjoyed success in higher vehicle classes into the
premium compact segment for the first time. It injects a fresh dose
of individuality, aesthetic appeal and emotional engagement,
backed up by innovative control/operation and connectivity tech,
excellent everyday usability and the dynamic capability for which
BMW is renowned.
The world premiere is taking place at the Los Angeles Auto Show in
November 2019 and market launch will get underway in March 2020.
Prices in Germany will start at €31,950 for the BMW 218i
(fuel consumption combined: 5.7 – 5.0 l/100 km [62.8 – 67.3 mpg
imp]; CO₂ emissions combined: 131 – 114 g/km), €39,900
for the BMW 220d (fuel consumption combined: 4.5 – 4.2 l/100 km
[62.8 – 67.3 mpg imp]; CO₂ emissions combined: 119 – 110
g/km) and €51,900 for the range-topping BMW M235i xDrive (fuel
consumption combined: 7.1 – 6.7 l/100 km [39.8 – 42.2 mpg imp];
CO₂ emissions combined: 162 – 153 g/km).
Standout features include the dynamically stretched silhouette,
the four frameless side windows and the rear lights extending well
into the centre of the rear end, merging into a High-gloss Black
band that runs up to and encircles the centrally located BMW badge.
The 2 Series Gran Coupe measures 4,526 millimetres in length
and 1,800 millimetres in width, and stands 1,420 millimetres tall.
Despite its low-slung, sporty appearance, passengers are well
catered for space-wise, thanks to the 2,670‑millimetre wheelbase.
Plus, the 430‑litre load compartment can be expanded in various ways.
Dynamic front end with fresh interpretation of BMW icons: the
slightly angled headlights (full-LED as standard) forming the
prominent BMW four-eyed face draw attention to the familiar BMW
kidney grille, which takes the form of a large and connected element.
As its sporting looks imply, the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe sets out
to establish the dynamic yardstick in its class. The underpinnings
for this are provided by the advanced BMW front-wheel-drive
architecture, which the Gran Coupe shares with the new
BMW 1 Series along with an array of other technological developments.
The near-actuator wheel slip limitation (ARB) tech familiar from
the BMW i3s (electric power consumption combined:
14.6 –
14 kWh/100 km, CO₂ emissions combined: 0 g/km)
allows wheel slip to be controlled much more sensitively and
swiftly than before.
ARB is assisted in its task by the standard yaw moment
distribution system BMW Performance Control, which increases
handling agility by intelligently applying the brakes at the wheels
on the inside of the bend before the slip threshold has been reached
and ensures neutral steering behaviour.
Standard specification for the sporty BMW M235i xDrive
range-topper includes BMW xDrive all-wheel drive, a mechanical
Torsen limited-slip differential, M Sport steering and M Sport
brakes. The eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission also features
a Launch Control mode. The three-dimensional mesh replacing the bars
in the kidney grille is inspired by racing cars and adds an alluring
visual feature.
As well as the BMW M235i xDrive model, customers can choose
from five equipment lines: Basic, Advantage, Sport Line, Luxury Line
and M Sport.
One diesel and two petrol engines are available at launch: a
three-cylinder petrol with 103 kW (140 hp) in the BMW 218i, a 140 kW
(190 hp) four-cylinder diesel unit in the BMW 220d and the BMW
Group’s most powerful four-cylinder engine – developing 225 kW
(306 hp) – in the BMW M235i xDrive. All engines comply with the
strict Euro 6d‑TEMP emissions standard.
The BMW 228i xDrive with two-litre four-cylinder engine producing
output of 170 kW (231 hp) is only available in the USA.
The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe benefits from innovative driver
assistance systems filtering down from higher models. The Lane
Departure Warning system with active lane return and collision and
pedestrian warning with city braking function are fitted as standard
in Europe, while Active Cruise Control, the Driving Assistant
including Lane Change Warning, rear collision warning and crossing
traffic warning, plus the innovative reversing assistant are all
available as options.
The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe can be locked and unlocked from a
smartphone if the optional BMW Digital Key is specified. The engine
can be started as soon as the smartphone is placed in its tray.
The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant is part of the
control/operating concept. As a fully-fledged BMW expert, this
digital character can learn routines and habits and subsequently
apply them in the appropriate context. He can also provide casual
conversation, throwing in the occasional joke or relating
interesting stories.
Connected Navigation services allow internal and external
information to be factored into route planning. BMW 2 Series Gran
Coupe drivers will be able to send destinations from various apps
straight to their car’s navigation system, store and sync them.
