Inside, the cabin gets a significant tech upgrade featuring BMW’s latest curved display setup running the new Operating System 9. The interior combines premium Veganza upholstery with illuminated trim accents and newly designed sport seats offering electric adjustment with memory function. Tech enthusiasts will appreciate the Harman Kardon surround sound system, panoramic sunroof, wireless smartphone connectivity and an advanced heads-up display with augmented reality features.

Power comes from a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivering 153 bhp and 23.45 kgm of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. While not the most powerful offering in BMW’s stable, the 2 Series Gran Coupe manages the 0-100kph sprint in 8.6 seconds with a top speed of 230kph, striking a balance between performance and efficiency.

Positioned against rivals like the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine, the 2 Series Gran Coupe distinguishes itself with standard M Sport package that enhances both its dynamic capabilities and visual appeal. The combination of refreshed styling, cutting-edge technology and BMW’s trademark driving dynamics makes this facelift a noteworthy update in the entry-level luxury segment.
