BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe facelift receives slight cosmetic changes and more features
BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe facelift revealed, marking four years since the model’s original launch. The updated model brings a refreshed design and a suite of new features, in line with BMW’s latest offerings. Production will take place at the BMW Group plant in Leipzig, with global market launch scheduled for March 2025.
Project updates
The refreshed 2 Series Gran Coupe features a significant visual overhaul, aligning its design more closely with the latest BMW models. The front fascia now mirrors that of the latest 1 Series, featuring sleek oval headlights and a smaller kidney grille that has become a hallmark of the brand’s evolving design language.
While the car maintains its familiar silhouette with a flowing roofline and short overhangs, BMW has slightly increased its dimensions, adding 20mm to the length and 25mm to the height. The rear also receives updates with new taillights reminiscent of those of the 1 Series.
Interior renovation
Inside, the facelifted 2 Series Gran Coupe undergoes a complete redesign, featuring BMW’s curved display. This configuration integrates the touchscreen infotainment system and digital instrument cluster into a single, continuous frame. The center console has also been redesigned, with updated air vents and distribution panels. Standard features include BMW Live Cockpit Plus and ventilated seats, increasing overall comfort and convenience.
Furthermore, the vehicle is equipped with BMW Driving Assistant as standard, offering advanced safety features such as forward collision warning, lane departure warning, exit warning and speed limit information. Parking is made easier with the inclusion of Parking Assistant and Reversing Assistant.
Powertrain options: Petrol and diesel variants
Under the hood, the 2 Series Gran Coupe offers a range of petrol and diesel engines. These include a 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine in the 220 variant, producing 170 PS and 240 Nm of torque. The M235 variant comes with a more powerful 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine producing 300 PS and 400 Nm. On the diesel side, the 218d is powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine that produces 150 PS and 360 Nm. The 220d variant combines the same diesel engine with 48-volt mild hybrid technology for greater efficiency. For some markets, such as the USA, BMW will offer the 228 variant, which delivers 241 hp and 295 Nm.
Indian Market
The outgoing 2 Series Gran Coupe is currently BMW’s most affordable model in India, with prices starting from Rs. 43.90 lakhs (ex-showroom). While the facelifted version is slated for a global debut in 2025, Indian customers can expect the updated model to arrive late next year.
