New BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe is here

Following the launch of the BMW 4 Series Coupe and Convertible, the Gran Coupe is the third model to join the new BMW 4 Series, which is longer, wider and more dynamic than any of the previous midsize series.

The Gran Coupe combines the sleek look of a two-door coupe with the functionality provided by four doors and expansive spaciousness, including a wide-access luggage compartment.

When compared with a two-door coupe, the Gran Coupe offers passengers easier access, thanks to the four-door configuration. The doors are frameless, having the characteristic design features of BMW midsize coupes.

The functional elegance of the 4+1 seater is highlighted by prominent round instruments with a black panel look and its free-standing flat-screen iDrive monitor. The spacious luggage area makes loading and unloading much easier. Wide-ranging customising options are offered by three special equipment packages and the M Sport package.

The interior of the Gran Coupe represents elegance, combined with outstanding ergonomics. All controls are configured to give the driver optimal access. An approach known as layering – the intelligent use of space through the structuring of lines and surfaces into layers – expresses the hallmark BMW driver focus.

Four- and six-cylinder petrol engines, plus one four-cylinder diesel engine, are available.

The high-end is represented by the 435i’s six-cylinder in-line 3.0 litre petrol engine delivering 225kW. The BMW 428i Gran Coupe and the BMW 420i Gran Coupe are equipped with light and powerful four-cylinder engines that deliver 180kW and 135kW, respectively.

Like all BMW diesel variants, the four-cylinder engine offered for the Gran Coupe is known for its smoothness, torque and outstanding efficiency.

The BMW 420d Gran Coupe delivers 135kW, with a claimed average fuel consumption, depending on tyres, of only 4.7 to 4.9 litres per 100km.

The standard variant of the Gran Coupe features a six-speed manual transmission, but all engines can be combined with the optional eight-speed Steptronic or eight-speed sport Steptronic transmissions, which also feature manual shifting using paddles on the steering wheel.

The elegant and dynamic character of the Gran Coupe is accompanied by excellent economy and efficiency, thanks to the BMW Efficient Dynamics strategy, with wide-ranging innovations for intelligent mobility.

The entire range of BMW ConnectedDrive options can be ordered for Gran Coupe. Among the highlights are the Navigation System Professional, the full-colour BMW heads-up display, Driving Assistant, glare-free high beam assistant, Active Protection and the latest development stage of the Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function.

Innovative interface technology also permits easy integration of smartphones in the vehicles.
