Which engine powers the 2025 BMW 2 Series?
Less powerful than its predecessor
Unlike the diesel and petrol engine options offered with the previous-gen model, the 2025 2 Series Gran Coupe is available only with the latter, at least for now. Notably, the powerplant under the hood of the 2025 2 Series Gran Coupe is a downsized 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder turbo-petrol unit that produces 156hp and 230Nm – 20hp and 50Nm down compared to the outgoing model’s 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbo-petrol engine. This output is routed to the front wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
What is the 2025 BMW 2 Series like to drive?
3-cylinder motor isn’t thrilling to drive and gets noisy
In our review of the 2025 2 Series Gran Coupe, we noted that vibrations from the 3-cylinder motor make it to the cabin at idle, but things feel smoother once you set off. However, the engine’s power delivery is rather linear and unexciting, and past the 4,000rpm mark, it gets audible, too. BMW claims that the 2025 2 Series Gran Coupe can hit 100kph from rest in 8.6 seconds.
Throttle response can be mildly improved by switching to the ‘Sport’ drive mode, and there’s a ‘Boost’ mode as well, which adjusts the gearing electronically to deliver 10 seconds of additional torque for quick overtakes.
Which features does the 2025 BMW 2 Series get?
New Digital Key allows for remote control of in-car functions
One of the most prominent feature additions in the 2025 2 Series Gran Coupe is the Digital Key, which allows owners to control functions such as locking/unlocking, cabin pre-cooling and boot access via their smartphones and can also be shared with up to five users. There’s a roof-mounted camera in the cabin that can record video and photos, which can be exported to your phone.
20.94 inches worth of screen on the dashboard
The 2025 2 Series Gran Coupe also gets a dual-screen setup comprising a 10.7-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a 360-degree camera, a panoramic sunroof, an ADAS suite, a wireless charger, auto-park assist, a 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ambient lighting, and more. However, you don’t get features like ventilated front seats, rear sunshades, and adaptive cruise control.
Which cars rival the 2025 BMW 2 Series?
Only one rival currently
The 2025 2 Series Gran Coupe will take on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan, priced at Rs 46.05 lakh. Compared to the compact Mercedes sedan, the 2025 2 Series Gran Coupe is costlier by Rs 85,000 to Rs 2.85 lakh, taking into account petrol variants only. While the A-Class A 200’s 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine is slightly smaller than that of the new 2 Series Gran Coupe, it has an extra cylinder and develops 163hp and 270Nm – 7hp and 40Nm more than the BMW.
