BMW has launched the all-new second-generation 2 Series Gran Coupe in India, with prices starting at Rs 46.90 lakh for the base 218 M Sport variant. The top-spec 218 M Sport Pro variant, meanwhile, retails for Rs 48.90 lakh. Both mentioned prices are ex-showroom. The launch comes a few days after the brand’s recent announcement of opening bookings for its most affordable luxury sedan for a token amount of Rs 1.50 lakh. Built on the same UKL2 platform as its predecessor, the model will be assembled locally at BMW’s Chennai facility. Interested buyers can book the vehicle through the company’s official website or authorised dealerships.

Design-wise, the car now wears a more aggressive and contemporary look, accentuated by blacked-out trim elements. The front fascia gets a fresh design with BMW’s illuminated kidney grille taking centre stage, accompanied by sleeker LED headlights with reworked detailing.

A redesigned bumper and a smoothly sloping roofline enhance its coupe-like silhouette. At the rear, sharper LED taillamps, dual exhaust outlets, a subtle spoiler, and a shark-fin antenna complete the sportier aesthetic. The standard 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels can be upgraded to larger 19-inch options.

Under the hood, the updated model is powered by a 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine delivering 156bhp of maximum power and 230Nm of peak torque. This engine sends power to the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

BMW claims a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 8.6 seconds. The top speed is set at 230km/h. For added performance, the car features a ‘Sport’ mode for quicker throttle response, along with a ‘Boost’ function that temporarily increases torque for rapid overtaking.
