What you see here are the very first spy shots of
BMW’s upcoming 2-Series Gran Coupe, a new Bavarian four-door sedan to slot
underneath the 3-Series.
Rumored to debut in 2020, the BMW 2-Series Gran
Coupe with the codename F44 is around 4.5 meters long, roughly the same length
with the current 2-Series Gran Tourer, aiming to rival models like the next
Mercedes CLA.
The new 2-Series Gran Coupe will be front-driven as
the rest of the next-gen small BMWs, as turning it into a rear-driven car was
deemed too expensive and too close for comfort to the 3-Series. An optional
xDrive all-wheel drive system will be offered.
Based on the same underpinnings of the also upcoming
1-Series, the Gran Coupe version of the 2-Series will also share most of its
engine options, including petrol, diesel and hybrid powertrains with three- and
four-cylinders. Sadly, there will be no six-cylinder option this time.
