Road Test

The entry-level 2 Series Gran Coupe rides on a front-wheel-drive-based platform that’s less performance-oriented than most BMWs. But this new little sedan can still put a grin on a driver’s face when the road gets twisty. Be aware that the ride is stiff and that the rear seat is better for carrying kids and preteens than adults.

Model History

2025-Present

Current Generation

The second-generation 2 Series Gran Coupe offers more standard equipment and options. Revised powertrains include a 241-hp, 228 xDrive and the high-performance, 312-hp, M235 xDrive. A seven-speed dual clutch replaced the previous eight-speed automatic as the standard transmission. The 228 xDrive and M235 xDrive launched first, with the front-wheel drive 228 sDrive Gran Coupe arriving mid-year. The 2025 2 Series Gran Coupe has increased in length by about 1 inch, while the wheelbase remains unchanged. A new controls system is based on the updated iDrive 9 infotainment system. The ride is quite firm. The front seats are very supportive and comfortable, but the rear seat is cramped.

2020-2024

2020 Redesign Year

Don't be misled into thinking the new for 2020 2 Series Gran Coupe is simply a four-door version of the 2 Series. The Gran Coupe rides on a completely different, less performance-oriented platform that it shares with the X1 and X2 small SUVs. Nonetheless, it packs a healthy level of BMW DNA and will put a grin on a driver’s face when the road gets twisty. Its front-drive-based platform only shows its limitations when the car is pushed to the limits. The standard 228-hp drivetrain delivers eager power through a responsive transmission. Ride comfort skews firm. The rear seat is cramped and access is awkward. All-wheel drive is standard. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and blind spot warning all come standard.
