BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe F44

Subcompact Sedan

Product Gallery

Product Overview

BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe F44 is a subcompact sedan in production from 2019. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.0 liters.

BMW has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.25 coefficient of drag to show for it. Unfortunately, the designers took some time off and delivered an ugly, FWD-based car. In comparison, Mazda and Honda make much more compelling options in this segment.

Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe F44 uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.

Reviewer score 86% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The M240i variant also features a range of aerodynamic turning vanes and splitters to reduce lift. BMW claims the new coupé has 12% more torsional rigidity and maintains 50:50 weight distribution. The car’s extra length has enabled the boot to grow to 390 litres, although space in the rear predictably remains limited.

Pros

Powerful engine
Comfortable to drive
Excellent rear-seat practicality

Cons

Lack of rear leg room

Reviewer score 75% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

All Gran Coupe models come as standard in Sport trim, but for an additional £2,500 you can specify the M Sport trim. For this you get larger 18-inch M alloys, a bigger 10.25-inch central touchscreen display and Dakota leather upholstery rather than cloth. By comparison the Mercedes CLA 220d AMG Line costs £35,475 and comes with no more standard equipment than the BMW.

Pros

Gorgeous looks
Comfortable to drive
Good standard equipment

Cons

Somewhat soulless engine
Not the most refined

Reviewers from carwow have found:

The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe has a distinctive large grille and LED headlights at the front, exactly like the 1 Series. It's only in profile and at the rear that you can tell it's a 2 Series. The frameless doors and different roofline are really the biggest changes. The 1.5-litre petrol is the best all-rounder but the diesels are good for long trips. The M235i is fast but not exciting enough.

Pros

Fantastic infotainment system
Comfortable to drive

Cons

No swoopy roof

Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:

The 2 Series Gran Coupe will make its public debut during the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show opening its doors on November 22. The front-wheel drive platform let BMW carve out an acceptable amount of space inside. The infotainment system looks almost exactly like the 3's, and I like the split-screen functionality.

Pros

Gran Coupe looks and feels like a coupe
Fantastic infotainment system
Comfortable to drive

Cons

Lack of rear-seat space
Not as fun to drive as rivals
