BMW Group has announced the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé, featuring significant advancements in digitalization and enhanced driving dynamics, with production set to begin at BMW’s Leipzig plant. The updated model is scheduled for market launch in March 2025, showcasing a blend of sporty elegance, cutting-edge technology, and sustainable design.
Digital Innovation with BMW iDrive and QuickSelect
The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé integrates the latest BMW iDrive system, based on Operating System 9, offering a highly intuitive user experience. With QuickSelect, users can access all primary vehicle functions directly, eliminating the need for navigating through multiple submenus. This system, paired with a curved display, touch functionality, voice control, and multifunction steering wheel buttons, enhances the in-car experience for drivers.
Additionally, the BMW Digital Premium package offers a suite of services, including music and video streaming, advanced navigation with Satellite View, and 3D building display. The new Curve-Ahead View, available with the optional Head-Up Display, adds further navigation support, while remote software upgrades ensure the system remains up-to-date with the latest features.
Design Highlights: Sporty Elegance Meets Refined Details
The exterior of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is defined by its expressive front section, elongated silhouette, and dynamic rear design, embodying the characteristic sporty elegance of the BMW Gran Coupé line. The front features an innovative BMW radiator grille with vertical and diagonal bars, along with standard LED headlights that include adaptive features such as glare-free matrix high beams and cornering lights.
The vehicle has grown slightly in dimensions, now measuring 4,546 mm in length, with a wheelbase of 2,670 mm. The interior is entirely leather-free, emphasizing premium materials like Veganza/Alcantara trims, and features options for backlit aluminum interior accents. New sports seats, M sport options, and a redesigned steering wheel with manual gear shift paddles add to the vehicle’s sporty feel.
Enhanced Performance with New Engine Options and M Sport Package
At the top of the model range is the BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé, which features a powerful 221 kW/300 hp 4-cylinder engine, achieving 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 4.9 seconds. With the optional M Technology package, it delivers racetrack-ready performance, offering lightweight construction measures, 19-inch forged M alloy wheels, and high-performance brakes.
All models feature a 7-speed Steptronic transmission with double clutch as standard, along with new 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. Mild hybrid technology with a 48-volt system is integrated into the 220 Gran Coupé and 220d Gran Coupé, enhancing efficiency and reducing emissions. The vehicle’s chassis has also been refined, with improved rigidity and shock absorber technology to offer greater agility and comfort.
Focus on Safety and Convenience
The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé comes equipped with an array of advanced driver assistance systems, such as the Driving Assistant with front collision warning and lane departure alerts, as well as Parking Assistant with Reversing Assistant. Optional features like the Steering and Lane Control Assistant and Parking Assistant Professional add to the ease of driving and parking, even allowing remote-controlled parking via smartphone.
