The idea of a three -cylinder car with an unimaginable front -wheel wheel was two decades ago. However, we are here in 2025, and BMW now offers many models with a formula that DieHard will never accept. The Gran Coupe 2 series is already in the second generation, based on the foundations that Purist could not have imagined in the first decade of the twentieth century, not to mention the previous century. But the smallest sedan in Bavaria is not intended for traditions; It is a sized mode that targets customers looking for a welfare for beginners.
Again, BMW has played 2 Series Gran Coupe with M. New photos from South Africa show 218 modests, equipped with a 1.5 -liter small gasoline engine. The triggered cylinders that are shipped to the turbine entry point to the assortment of BMW sedan, although some markets, including the United States, do not get this engine, which is also used in Minis. In the United States, “F74” is a strict relationship with four cylinders.
These press footage shows that you can customize even a wide BMW sedan. The intense doors feature four doors, which appear in red fire, the M SPORT package and the entire kidney network. It exceeds the 17 -inch standard wheels for the 18 -inch set, although buyers can choose large factors. Basically, a sedan of the latest hatchback series, the Mercedes CLA competition seems more elegant than its predecessor.
While the outer surface is a clear improvement, we are less convinced of the cabin. Call us from the old style, but we will miss the IDrive console and the physical buttons of climate control. The analog faces are also an ancient hobby that we would like to return to. There are more plastic more than we preferred in a luxury car, although we understand 2 Gran Coupe series that occupies the location of beginners in the BMW collection.
For more distinctive interiors, BMW offers at least four larger sedans (3,5, 7 and 8 chain), provided that your budget allows. We may also say five sedan cars, although the Gran Coupe series of 4 series of technically is a five -door lifting. 8er dies, so if you want one, faster, with the end of production in 2026.
With only 154 hp and automatic transmission, 218 GC will not set your pulse race. Then again, Audi A3 Sedan or Mercedes Cla versions are not lower degree. These cars are present to provide younger buyers to the luxury sector. Car manufacturers want people to upgrade high -end models as their jobs grow and their income. The 2 Gran Coupe series plays a major role in helping BMW in keeping it in the excellent part.
