BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe Test Drive and Review

BMW is undoubtedly among the top car manufacturers there is and one of the mainstream segment vehicles they have are entry-level luxury sedans. However, for a long time- seven years precisely, the brand has not launched any remarkable vehicles in the segment, giving free reign to its rival, Mercedes and Audi. Finally, in some time in India, their 2 Series Gran Coupe will be hitting the market. The car was internationally revealed in 2019. The model will debut in the Indian market solely with 2.0-liter diesel engine and 220d guise and two trims, which are Sport Line and M Sport. We will be giving a detailed review based on the drive test of M Sport variety. The upcoming car reviews in India for BMW 2 Series based on the drive test can prove immensely helpful to a new buyer.

Exterior of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe

The car was unveiled last year and was subjected to a fair bit of criticism, mainly because of the exterior styling, which seemed too heavy and ungainly to many. The odd angling at some parts of the car is mainly responsible for these. However, when observed closely, these do not seem as repulsive. This is more notable in the blue colored model specifically. While the taillight appears a little too pinched, the other intricate details like the grille design and bumper definitely appear quite soothing to the eyes. The bumper lights are further topped with a black shroud, which make it more noticeable. Other than these, other notable features include the twin-barrel headlights, and light signature and overall subtle creasing and angles of the shorter bonnet.

The wheel type and size is 18-inches alloy for M-Sport version and it is 17-inches for Sports Line. They have a neat five-spoke pattern and you get a clear view of the calipers and discs behind it. The dipping roof and the rising mid-section together intensify the coupe design of the car.

Interior of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe

The first major notable thing about the interiors of the car as you get in to drive the lowering roof and can feel a little too crammed even for someone with an average height. The capacity of the car is 430 liters but the boot space is comparatively smaller as well. However, the seats are comfortable and luxurious- equipped with electric adjustment as well as bolstering as well. Other interior design feature includes ambient lighting, controller knob, steering wheel buttons, and even hand gestures. The overall design and features of the interior of the entry level BMW 2 Series is much better than many other more expensive options available in India.

The Drive Test

There are little amount of front wheel spin on loose surfaces and the turn in is quite sharp. Understeering also does not happen to easily. The grip of the wheels is quite good. However, the car is quite heavy and many drivers may find it a little too difficult to drive, it still can be managed well with the comfort mode. The speed increases from 0-100kmph in 7.5 seconds and is quick enough for any typical buyer. The overall car review is quite notable especially after the driving experience that one has.

The engine is quite refined too but you can hear the diesel clutter and tyre noise, which is not bothersome, but present, unlike the case of BMW cars with higher specifications. Overall, as per the latest car reviews for the BMW 2 Series across the world, this is definitely a notable choice once it arrives in India for any average buyer.
