BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe has been officially launched in India at a starting price of ₹39.3 lakh for the 220d Sport Line variant. There is also a higher-spec 220d M Sport variant which comes at a price tag of ₹41.4 lakh. Both prices are ex-showroom and introductory.

The 2 Series Gran Coupe is BMW's smallest four-door which will be locally assembled in the country. Goes without saying, it will be placed below the current 3 Series and will rival the likes of cars such as Mercedes-Benz A-class and the Audi A3 sedans.

For the uninitiated, the car has been built on a front-wheel-drive platform and as expected, it shares its underpinnings with the X1 SUV.


The new 2 Series Gran Coupe sports a very appealing exterior design with the company's latest styling treatment. It gets a slightly low-slung four door design with a sloping roof towards the rear and pillar-less doors which make it look very sporty. The car measures 4,526 mm in length, which makes it around 23 mm shorter in comparison to the upcoming A-class Limousine from Mercedes-Benz. On the other hand, it stands wider at 1,800 mm.

Some of the key exterior highlights of the new 2 Series Gran Coupe include a large-sized kidney grille up-front which is flanked by sweptback LED headlamps, dual-tone alloy wheels, LED tail lights and dual exhaust tips.

Inside, it comes with dual-tone interior theme, frame-less doors, shark-fin antenna, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an 8.8-inch MID, dual-zone climate control, and electrically adjustable front seats.

Under the hood, the car is plonked with a 2.0-litre diesel engine which delivers 190 PS of maximum power. There will also be a petrol variant which will join the lineup in future. It will be a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine which is known to churn out 192 PS.

Most of the interior elements remain unchanged, but, with the Black Shadow Edition, you get newly designed Sport Seats with electrical memory function. In addition to ambient lighting, the car also comes with what BMW calls the illuminated trim, a segment-first, functions as a decorative lighting element with a space-shaping effect in the dark. Rest of the features like the 10.25-inch touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay, 2-zone climate controls, 12.3-inch digital instrument display and others, remain unchanged.

BMW 220d is a Wonderful car.
I have gone through many of the videos by Youtubers and Auto Experts and all are praising the car with the only drawback being the pricing too close to 3 Series.
Had the On-road price been little closer/lesser than Superb it would have been a bestselling car for BMW.

The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé seamlessly transfers the elegant aesthetics of its larger stablemates. The exterior embodies a modern and athletic design with precise lines and sculpted surfaces creating a fascinating interplay of light and shade. The standout characteristic is its stretched silhouette, four frameless doors and prominent shoulders with side taper at the C-pillar which gives it a sporty, low and broad-set stance. Slightly angled full-LED headlights form the prominent BMW four-eyed face and draw attention to the BMW kidney grille giving a fresh interpretation to the classic BMW icons. The full-LED taillights extend into the centre of the rear end and provide an all-new take on the familiar BMW ‘L’ shape with a single slim light element and a distinctive sweep to the side.

Despite its sporty appearance, the interior is designed to accentuate cabin spaciousness and the driver-focused cockpit with exquisite materials. It features a leather multifunction steering wheel. The Sport Seats (for driver and front passenger) with electrical memory function offer greater long-distance comfort. The elegant coupé form with generous cabin space welcomes the rear passengers with easy entry and ample kneeroom. Adding to the sense of space is the standard large panorama glass sunroof. The large 430 litres luggage compartment can be expanded by folding down the 40/20/40 split rear seat backrest. The rear seat can be folded down completely to create more space. The illuminated trim, a segment-first, retains normal appearance in daylight but functions as decorative lighting elements with a space-shaping effect in the dark. Ambient Lighting with six dimmable designs creates an atmosphere for every mood.

The car has front-wheel-drive architecture in which the engine is positioned transversely, thereby saving space without compromising on the driving dynamics. To reduce understeering, an ARB technology (actuator contiguous wheel slip limitation system) works in combination with DSC (Driving Stability Control). The BMW Performance Control system increases the stability of the car by targeted braking of the wheels.

The most powerful engine in the category offers superlative performance and acceleration.

BMW TwinPower Turbo petrol engine melds maximum power with exemplary efficiency and offers spontaneous responsiveness even at low engine speeds. The two-litre four-cylinder petrol engine produces an output of 190 hp and a maximum torque of 280 Nm at 1350-4600 rpm. The car accelerates from 0 -100 km / hr in just 7.1 seconds.

The seven speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission performs smooth, almost imperceptible gearshifts. The long seventh gear keeps revs low, helping to cut fuel consumption on long journeys. At any time, in any gear, the transmission collaborates perfectly with the engine, enabling it to develop its full power and efficiency. For even greater driving pleasure, it comes with steering wheel paddle shifters and cruise control with braking function. Using Launch Control, ambitious drivers can achieve maximum acceleration with optimized traction from a standstill. Using the Driving Experience Control switch, the driver is able to choose between different driving modes to suit the driving conditions - ECO PRO, Comfort and Sport.

A host of BMW ConnectedDrive technologies continue to break the innovation barrier in automotive industry. Modern cockpit concept BMW Live Cockpit Plus includes 8.8-inch Control Display with touch functionality, 3D Navigation, a 5.1-inch digital instrument cluster with analog dials. The occupants can operate a number of car functions simply by speaking to their BMW Virtual Assistant. The Parking Assistant with Rear View Camera makes parking in tight spots easier. The Reversing Assistant provides unmatched support in reversing out of a parking spot or through narrow driveways. It keeps a record of the last 50 metres driven and assists by taking over the steering. Wireless Apple CarPlay® / Android Auto ensures seamless smartphone connection with the car to access several functions.

BMW EfficientDynamics includes features such as Steptronic Sport automatic transmission, Auto Start-Stop, Brake-Energy Regeneration, Electronic Power Steering, 50:50 Weight Distribution and ECO PRO mode in Driving Experience Control.

BMW Safety technologies include six airbags, Attentiveness Assistance, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Brake Assist, ARB technology (actuator contiguous wheel slip limitation system), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) including Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and Electronic Differential Lock Control (EDLC), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), electric parking brake with auto hold, side-impact protection, electronic vehicle immobilizer and crash sensors, ISOFIX child seat mounting and integrated emergency spare wheel under the load floor.

Oh no - yet another Teuton, and a Beemer no less, with FWD! The planet must really be going through hard times, that first, the 3-pointed star and now that "ultimate driving machine", the BMW, is offering a "Gran Coupe" with FWD in their line-up.
I must regretfully add that all the praises from the Experts & YouTubers wont convince me that a FWD-er with sporting pretensions, is better than an equivalent RWD-er.
