BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe

The first ever BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe has been launched in India as the entry model in the BMW lineup. While the BMW X1 compact SUV will start lower on price, the 2 Series becomes the least expensive sedan in the sporty car maker's portfolio in India. The BMW 2 Series will be available in petrol and diesel in India. 

There are 7 colours but the Storm Boy (grey), Snapper Rocks (teal/aqua), and the Misano Blue are exclusive to the M Sport only. The 2 Series is built on the brand's UKL front wheel drive modular platform. So like the X1 and the MINI Countryman, it does get an xDrive or all wheel drive version in Europe. India will only get the two wheel drive version.

The 2 Series Gran Coupe comes with BMW's signature new kidney grille. The raked-back headlight units with double-barrel LED detailing give it a unique look and also add on to the aggressive look. The flowing roofline that flows into the fastback-like rear and that's what gives it its unique look . The L shaped LED taillights also give it a nice look. Adding to the attraction are the pillarless windows.

On safety the car packs in a lot. 6 airbags, isofix child seat mounts, 3-point seatbelts for all 5 occupants, ABS or anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control that I already mentioned, runflat tyres and tyre pressure monitoring, and a lot more - and these are all standard across both variants.

The 220d comes with a 2-litre diesel engine producing 190 horses and 400 Nm. 0-100 kmph is done in just 7.5 seconds. The 8-speed step-tronic transmission helps ease the way you drive.
