Launch of BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe today: Crucial Points of Interest
The much-anticipated 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is set to launch, offering a unique balance of sportiness and practicality. The new model boasts several notable updates in terms of design, interior technology, and powertrain options.
### Key Features and Design Elements
The 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is longer and taller than its predecessor, providing increased interior space for improved passenger comfort. The cockpit has been comprehensively redesigned, featuring a Curved Glass touchscreen integrated with BMW's latest OS9 software, reducing physical buttons on the dashboard.
A striking front-end look is achieved through the availability of an illuminated kidney grille surround, while the standard 18-inch alloy wheels add more zing to the car. The M Sport package adds bold appeal to the bumper.
### Powertrain Specifications
The engine lineup includes three petrol variants, with the base 220 model powered by a 1.5-litre, three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine producing 154 bhp and 230 Nm of torque. The 223 xDrive features a more powerful 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine delivering 215 bhp and the same mild-hybrid setup. The top M235 xDrive is powered by a more potent 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine with 296 bhp and 296 lb-ft torque.
Manual transmissions have been mostly phased out for this model range, with the dual-clutch seven-speed automatic as standard, reflecting BMW's trend except for models like the Z4 and M2.
### Additional Highlights
The 2 Series Gran Coupe shares many features with the regular coupe but provides more interior space and comfort, appealing to buyers needing more room while retaining sporty dynamics. The cabin offers quality materials like SensaTec upholstery and modern conveniences including enhanced roadside assistance, HiFi sound systems, and dual-zone automatic climate control in certain trims.
In India, the powertrain configuration includes a 1.5-litre, three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The second-generation BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe will be offered only in petrol variants in India, and does not offer diesel variants or manual transmission options.
The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe with its updated design, advanced technology, and efficient powertrains is set to redefine the compact executive car segment.
The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe's interior features a Curved Glass touchscreen integrated with BMW's OS9 software for a streamlined home-and-garden feel. Additionally, lifestyle enthusiasts might appreciate the availability of electric-vehicle options, as the Indian market will only offer petrol variants of the 2025 model.
