The BMW 2 Series family in the U.S. consists of a coupe and convertible model, but starting in 2020, it will gain a new family member. The 2 Series Gran Coupe has been rumored for years now and according to our sources, the four-door entry-level coupe will arrive on this side of the pond. Earlier today, first spy shots of the 2er Gran Coupe surfaced on the interwebs, in a way a confirmation to the numerous rumors.
The 2020-2021 model is based on the next generation 2 Series and aims to bridge the gap between 1 Series Sedan and the 3 Series Sedan. With a length of approximately 4.5 meters, the 2 Series Gran Coupe has roughly the same length as the current Gran Tourer. Initially designed as a rear-wheel drive, which was however found as too expensive and too close to the 3er, the 2er Gran Coupe is now a front-wheel drive vehicle, but with an optional xDrive system.
The six-cylinder is taboo for the 2 Series Gran Coupe , therefore the strongest version of the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine – 252 hp – will be used as the top model. An iPerformance model could deliver additional performance, thanks to an E-module. Alternatively, a 2.0-liter petrol engine with 197 hp as well as three diesels with 156, 197 and 240 hp would be offered.
When it comes to market, the 2 Series Gran Coupe will take on the both the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class.
LOL @ THAT MOCK UP.
FWD + BMW = STUPID
They’ve already jumped the shark with the excessive overlapping niche models, now this. Ugh.
Another BMW with an unexciting and uninteresting front end.
Ahhh u are seeing that on a (stupid) render?! Interesting! Ur very smart…NOT!
Honestly I will ALWAYS support whatever BMW brings up. Very much like my long suffering fan ship of Arsenal FC. At some point critiquing becomes outright cynicism when you never see anything good that comes out of BMWs designs.
No offense ,but that’s a pretty bad rendering. The front can use so much work
