If you remember, a few weeks ago we reported on the launch of the new generation BMW 1 Series 2024. A model that sparked some debate, due to the fine line between restyling and pure evolution.

That discussion aside, today we unveil the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé, which follows in the footsteps of its compact sibling when it comes to making up for lost time. We can only thank BMW for continuing to rely on this elegant model, in a world where the overdose of SUVs and crossovers can become boring.

This car, which retains its elegant silhouette by combining elements of compact saloon and harmonious coupé, will arrive in European showrooms from March 2025.

As with the 1 Series, the new front end is striking, sloping further forward. The bumpers, grille (which can be illuminated) and LED headlights, which have a new light signature and can include matrix technology, have also been modified.

The side view remains one of the model's strong points, with dimensions fairly similar to those of the previous model: 4.54 metres long, 1.80 metres wide and 1.43 metres high, combined with a wheelbase of 2.67 metres.

The rear, meanwhile, is the most attractive, in my subjective opinion, with completely revised lights, more aggressive lines and, in the case of the M235 that we were able to see up close, a discreet spoiler on the boot lid and four visible tailpipes.

Tell us what you think!

The first striking feature of the interior is the BMW Curved Display dual-screen configuration, with a 10.25-inch screen for the instrumentation and a 10.7-inch touchscreen for the multimedia system, which uses the brand's ninth-generation operating system, BMW Operating System 9.

Overall, this configuration reduces the number of physical controls to a minimum. As usual for the manufacturer, a head-up display and augmented reality system can be installed. Of course, there's also a mode selector and natural voice control.

As always with BMW, the driving position is exceptional and everything in the car invites you to enjoy the drive, from the feel of the steering wheel to the support offered by the seats - at least in the M235.

This is a four-door, five-seat model, but space in the rear is obviously not extraordinary, although two adults can travel in relative comfort. What about the boot? It remains unchanged at 430 litres, 50 litres more than a BMW 1 Series... but the load compartment is much narrower.

The engine range for the 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is simple: four options, two petrol and two diesel, always paired with the seven-speed Steptronic dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

The entry-level version is the 218d turbodiesel, with a 2.0 four-cylinder engine and 150 PS, followed by the 220d, with the same block but 48V mild hybrid technology, which delivers 163 PS.

Above that is the 220 petrol version, with the 170 PS 1.5 three-cylinder engine, also as a mild hybrid, while at the top of the range is the M235, a 300 PS four-cylinder with xDrive all-wheel drive (all other versions are front-wheel drive).

To enhance the sportiness of the package, BMW offers the M Sport and M Sport Pro packs, with certain features exclusive to the M235, such as specific damping, the M compound braking system, 19-inch M light-alloy forged wheels, and many others.

Also, for the first time, the roof can be chosen in a contrasting black colour and, for the more sustainably minded, recycled and vegan materials are available.
