BMW is ready to freshen up its smallest four-door coupe in India. The facelifted 2 Series Gran Coupe is all set to launch on July 17, and pre-bookings are already open for those who want to lock in their keys before the first batch hits the streets.
What’s New Outside
At first glance, you’ll notice BMW hasn’t messed with the Gran Coupe’s winning silhouette — it still rocks that sporty coupe-like roofline with a tight rear end. But the front end now looks sharper than ever. The kidney grille sits lower and comes with a new trick: it’s got an illuminated frame that stands out in the dark. The LED headlamps have been reshaped too, giving the car an edgier stare that matches its sporty vibe.
Walk around the back and you’ll spot new LED tail lights that add a bit more flair when you hit the brakes or unlock the car at night.
Upgraded Cabin Goodies
Slip inside and the updates continue. Front and centre is BMW’s new curved touchscreen running the latest OS9 system — so menus are slicker, responses are quicker, and everything just feels more premium. The 10-inch digital instrument cluster sits right in your line of sight, keeping all the driving info crisp and easy to read.
Sound lovers will enjoy the 12-speaker Harman/Kardon system, and your phone stays juiced thanks to the wireless charger. BMW knows its crowd — sporty drivers who still want their creature comforts.
What’s Under the Hood
In India, the 2 Series Gran Coupe facelift sticks with the punchy 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder turbo-petrol engine. This unit churns out a healthy 154 BHP and 230 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox that shifts quick enough to keep the drive fun.
It’s not a fire-breather but should hit the sweet spot for city runs and highway stints alike, balancing zip and fuel economy well. For many buyers, that’s exactly what you want in a premium compact BMW.
Pre-Bookings Open — Launch Around the Corner
If you’ve had your eye on the Gran Coupe, this is your chance. BMW is taking pre-bookings now — handy if you want to beat the waitlist once prices drop on July 17. Expect it to be priced smartly, slotting right into the entry luxury sedan bracket that’s perfect for those stepping into the BMW badge for the first time.
Is It Worth It?
With the new look, a more loaded cabin, and enough features to make everyday drives more comfortable, the facelifted 2 Series Gran Coupe looks like an easy win for BMW. It’s stylish, practical enough for daily duties, and sporty enough to keep weekend drives interesting.
So when you see those fresh LED DRLs or that glowing grille rolling into your neighbourhood later this month, you’ll know — BMW’s smallest coupe just got a sharper edge without losing its fun-loving charm.
