Revealed alongside the redesigned 1 Series, the 2025 2 Series Gran Coupe is getting a refresh. Expected to hit production lines in November 2024, the new 2 Series Gran Coupe has been spotted undergoing testing in various configurations.
Early sightings suggest a base model with a small engine, possibly a 1.5-liter or even a 3-cylinder unit. Like its 1 Series counterpart, the 2 Series Gran Coupe will ditch the rear-wheel-drive platform in favor of a front-wheel-drive layout to reduce costs.
Engine options are expected to include 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engines and diesel for the European market.
The US will get front-wheel-drive 228 and all-wheel-drive 228xDrive and M235xDrive versions.
All trims will come standard with a dual-clutch transmission, with some enthusiasts lamenting the absence of a manual transmission, especially for the performance-oriented M235xDrive.
Revealing a sportier look, the next-generation 2 Series Gran Coupe arrives with exciting upgrades compared to its predecessor. shots reveal quad exhaust pipes, hinting at a performance-oriented model, likely the M235.
Other sporty features include low-profile tires and stylish wheels. Sharp brake calipers hint at increased stopping power.
Inside, a unified curved display combines the instrument cluster and infotainment system, likely featuring the latest iDrive 9 software seen in other BMW models built on the UKL platform. This platform also underpins the X1, X2, and MINI vehicles.
The new 2 Series Gran Coupe is expected to offer more cargo space than before, and a long-wheelbase version is planned for the Chinese market.
