Review and specifications
2026 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe
The second-generation 2 Series Gran Coupe offers more standard equipment and options. Revised powertrains include a 241-hp, 228 xDrive and the high-performance, 312-hp, M235 xDrive. A seven-speed dual clutch replaced the previous eight-speed automatic as the standard transmission. The 228 xDrive and M235 xDrive launched first, with the front-wheel drive 228 sDrive Gran Coupe arriving mid-year. The 2025 2 Series Gran Coupe has increased in length by about 1 inch, while the wheelbase remains unchanged. A new controls system is based on the updated iDrive 9 infotainment system. The ride is quite firm. The front seats are very supportive and comfortable, but the rear seat is cramped.

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.
