BMW has unveiled the carmaker’s first-ever BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe in the Philippines through a digital launch event. Priced at PhP 2,990,000 (around ₹45.30 lakh), the 2020 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe happens to be one of the smallest and most affordable 4-door vehicles.
The new 2 Series Gran Coupe has several changes, both in styling cues and technology, compared to its predecessors. The new 2 Series Gran Coupe is now a rear-wheel drive and is based on BMW’s new UKL platform.
BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe Specifications
The 2 Series Gran Coupe is powered by a 1.5-litre TwinPower Turbo three-cylinder engine, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, that can produce 140 PS of power along with 220 Nm of torque. The 17-inch double-spoke alloy wheels now sit on a 2670mm wheelbase.
The design of the new 2 Series Gran Coupe borrows some styling cues from both the new 1 Series launched earlier and the recently launched 8 Series.
The signature twin-kidney front grille and a sporty-looking bumper dominate the front face of the vehicle along with LED headlights with DRL cluster. At the rear, the swept-back LED taillights and a sculpted bumper completes the key design highlights of the new 2 Series Gran Coupe.
On the inside, the 2 Series gets an 8.8-inch touchscreen with iDrive, automated parking assist, optional Comfort Access to open the boot lid. Among other features are a three-spoke steering wheel wrapped in leather and ambient lighting.
The seats are wrapped in Sensatec leather upholstery. The rear seats can be split in a 40:20:40 ratio. The boot has a luggage capacity of 430 litres, which is 40 litres more than the previous generation. It can be extended more by folding down the rear seats.
The 2020 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe will be available in four colours: Alpine White, Black Sapphire, Melbourne Red, and Mineral Gray.
