With the 1 Series long since revealed, BMW has officially removed the wraps from the new 2 Series Gran Coupe.
Sedan sibling of the 1 Series is still to be confirmed for South Africa, with an announcement likely to be made only in 2025.
Designed in accordance with the 1 Series, the 2 Series Gran Coupe retains the same overall appearance, although from the B-pillar back, the sedan bodystyle has resulted in bigger rear doors and bootlid that hides 430-litres of space versus the 1 Series’ 380-litres.Dimensionally, the Gran Coupe measures 20 mm longer than its predecessor and 25 mm higher, with respective figures of 4 546 mm and 1 445 mm.
As for the interior itself, the 2 Series joins the 1 Series by receiving the “small model” specific Curved Display made-up of a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and the driver-angled 10.7-inch iDrive infotainment system with the latest 9.0 operating system. Commencing the diesel range, the 218d loses the hybrid system entirely with its 2.0-litre oil-burner developing 110kW/360Nm.Rear facia has required a redesign in the move from 1 Series hatch to sedan 2 Series Gran Coupe.

Regardless of the engine, all variants are mated to a new seven-speed dual-clutch Steptronic gearbox. At the range’s summit, the M235, which gets the xDrive system as standard, utilises the same 2.0-litre engine, but in two states of tune; 233 kW or 221 kW in Europe with torque in both instances rated at 400 Nm.
