Munich. BMW consistently continues to pursue the
brand’s current model offensive whilst developing an innovative
vehicle concept for the premium compact segment. During the annual
results press conference, BMW AG CEO Harald Krüger will announce the
presentation of the first BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe. With the sporty and
elegant four-door coupe, the premium automobile manufacturer is adding
to its range in the compact segment a particularly designoriented
model for modern, urban target groups. The concept of a four-door
coupe, already successful in higher vehicle classes, will in future
combine a dynamic charisma and an expressive design with a high degree
of everyday suitability also in the premium compact segment. The first
BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe will make its word debut at the Los Angeles
Auto Show in November 2019, with the worldwide market launch beginning
in the spring of 2020.
The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe sets new accents in individuality,
aesthetics and emotion in the premium compact segment. It combines an
emotive design with sportiness and the latest innovations in operation
and connectivity technology. Therefore, the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe
offers the ideal prerequisites to attract new target groups to
hallmark BMW driving pleasure. BMW already offers a unique range of
compact models for various different requirements and target groups
that is unmatched within the competitive environment. The BMW 2 Series
Gran Coupe will once again create fresh impulses in this class. It
builds on the latest BMW front-wheel drive architecture and shares a
multitude of technological developments with the new BMW 1 Series,
which will also be presented during the course of 2019.
The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe has been conceived as a global offering
that constitutes an attractive enrichment, especially for markets in
which car buyers show a strong affinity for notchbacks. As an
exclusive alternative to the classic saloon, the four-door coupe
addresses all target groups that prefer a sophisticated design and a
self-assured look in the compact segment as well.
The fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and
electric power consumption figures were determined according to
the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable.
The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in
Germany. The range shown considers the different sizes of the
selected wheels/tyres and the selected items of optional
equipment, and may vary during configuration.
The
values are already based on the new WLTP test cycle and are
translated back into NEDCequivalent values in order to ensure
comparability between the vehicles. With respect to these
vehicles, for vehicle-related taxes or other duties based (at
least inter alia) on CO2 emissions, the CO2 values may differ
from the values stated here (depending on national legislation).
Further information on official fuel consumption
figures and specific CO2 emission values of new passenger cars
is included in the following guideline: ‘Leitfaden über den
Kraftstoffverbrauch, die CO2-Emissionen und den Stromverbrauch
neuer Personenkraftwagen’ (Guide to the fuel economy, CO2
emissions and electric power consumption of new passenger cars),
