2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe 218 review: 2 to Tango
Last Updated on: 25 Sep 2025
The 2 Series Gran Coupe is BMW's entry level model, rivalling the Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan. Built on a front-wheel-drive platform shared with the Mini Cooper and X1, the 2 Series breaks from BMW’s traditional rear-wheel-drive layout, but still manages to deliver on driving enjoyment. Available with a petrol engine only, the 2 Series Gran Coupe blends appealing styling, high-quality interiors, and lively performance. Here's a closer look at how it stacks up across key categories.
Quality interiors
Fun to drive
