After the debut, it is going to be sold in 228i and M235i forms with the latter being the sportiest of the two. This car is expected to offer competition to the Mercedes-Benz A- class and Audi A3 thus making it a force to reckon with.
To make it stand out from other cars in the market, BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe’s exterior does its best to hide the fact that it is not a rear-wheel-drive car. This is made possible thanks to the inoffensive typical BMW kidney bean grilles in together with par-for-the-course Bimmer headlights. These headlights contain LED accents and a roof line that perfectly flow into a slight integrated trunk spoiler.
Looking at the rear, you will notice a smack-dab that disclose sits most polarizing design trail in the thin LED taillights. Underneath the metal is a 2.0-liter turbo-four engine that is available in two flavors. If you are into 228i model, then you are set to get less powerful tune with 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. On the other hand, the M235i boasts of a 301hp and 332 lb-ft of torque.
As for the speed. The base 2 Series Gran Coupe will sprint to 60 mph in 6 seconds flat. The M235i version is quite different as it achieves the same in 4.7 seconds. This is mainly because of the additional gusto from a reinforced crankshaft, larger turbocharger and modified fuel injectors to mention a few. However, you should not expect to get any of these cars as a front-wheel drive car. The good news is that xDrive is standard on all the 2 Series-Gran Coupes models and works with a wheel-slip limiter. This is a car worth watching out for especially if you are a huge fan of BMWs.
