2020 BMW 228i XDrive Grand Coupe
The 2020 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, despite the name, is a four-door sedan that will compete against other entry-level luxury sedans from Germany. When it goes on sale in March 2020, there will be two models available that are primarily distinguished by engines.
The 2020 BMW 228i xDrive, which debuted at the 2019 LA Auto Show, will start around $38,000 and features a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. As BMW's xDrive moniker indicates, all-wheel drive is standard here. Also standard is an eight-speed automatic transmission.
In regard to size, the Gran Coupe is 6.8 inches longer than the two-door 2 Series and 4.2 inches shorter than the 3 Series. As we've come to expect from BMW Gran Coupe models, the 2 Series Gran Coupe has an unmistakable fastback-like sloping rear roofline. Standard features, even on the base 228i, are impressive. BMW includes modern safety tech items such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning and mitigation, blind-spot monitoring, and pedestrian detection with automatic braking. The base 2 Series Gran Coupe also gets Apple CarPlay as standard but only with a limited one-year subscription.
