Exterior Design

The 2020 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe showcases a sleek and modern design that balances elegance with sportiness. While it draws inspiration from the 2020 Kia Forte, it retains BMW's iconic styling cues, such as the large kidney grille and frameless windows. Standard features include full LED headlights and daytime running lights, with an optional panoramic moonroof for added sophistication.

The M235i xDrive variant takes the design up a notch with a more aggressive front bumper, a dark gray finish on the grille and air inlets, and trapezoidal exhaust tips. These elements, combined with 18-inch wheels (up from the standard 17-inch rims), give the M235i a distinctly sportier appearance.

Interior Design and Technology

Inside, the 2 Series Gran Coupe offers a premium and tech-forward cabin. Both models come equipped with sport front seats, while the M235i adds leather upholstery, an M Sport steering wheel, and ambient lighting as standard features. Rear legroom is comparable to the 3 Series, making it a practical choice for small families or those who frequently carry passengers.

The centerpiece of the interior is the 8.8-inch center display, controlled via BMW's iDrive system. Opting for the BMW Live Cockpit Professional upgrades the display to 10.25 inches and adds a configurable instrument cluster. Additional tech features include a 9.2-inch head-up display, wireless charging, and multiple USB ports (including USB-C). While Apple CarPlay is available, it requires a subscription after the first year, and Android Auto is notably absent.

Performance

The 2020 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe delivers impressive performance across both variants. The 228i xDrive is powered by a 228-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 258 lb-ft of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds and has a top speed of 130 mph with all-season tires (151 mph with performance tires).

The M235i xDrive, on the other hand, boasts a 301-horsepower engine with 332 lb-ft of torque, reducing the 0-60 mph time to just 4.7 seconds (4.6 seconds with the optional performance package). Both models feature an eight-speed automatic transmission and BMW's advanced all-wheel-drive system, which uses selective braking to enhance traction and stability.

BMW has equipped the 2 Series Gran Coupe with a comprehensive suite of safety and driver assistance technologies.
