2023 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe
Don't be misled into thinking the new for 2020 2 Series Gran Coupe is simply a four-door version of the 2 Series. The Gran Coupe rides on a completely different, less performance-oriented platform that it shares with the X1 and X2 small SUVs. Nonetheless, it packs a healthy level of BMW DNA and will put a grin on a driver’s face when the road gets twisty. Its front-drive-based platform only shows its limitations when the car is pushed to the limits. The standard 228-hp drivetrain delivers eager power through a responsive transmission. Ride comfort skews firm. The rear seat is cramped and access is awkward. All-wheel drive is standard. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and blind spot warning all come standard.

Brand context
About BMW
BMW’s sedans and SUVs regularly earn CR’s recommendations for packing industry-leading comfort and technology into vehicles that are agile, quick, and even fuel efficient. Among luxury brands like Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Lincoln, and Land Rover, BMW’s SUVs often rank near the top of their category. Models like the X5 are remarkable for having powertrains that accelerate quickly while also managing above-average fuel efficiency. Some BMWs can be bought as plug-in hybrids, with useful electric-only range, or in performance trims, with more powerful engines and stiffer suspensions. BMW’s growing roster of EVs also generally rank high in our tests. Like most luxury cars from European manufacturers, BMWs fall on the expensive side of our assessments of maintenance and repair costs, but some specific models are a good option to buy used. However, shoppers considering a preowned BMW should opt for warranties or budget for repairs.
