Following the launch of the BMW 4 Series Coupé and Convertible, the Gran Coupé is the third variant to join the new BMW 4 Series and will be unveiled at this year's Geneva Motor Show. The new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé combines the sleek look of a two-door coupé with the functionality provided by four-doors and expansive spaciousness, including a wide-access luggage compartment.

Design

The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé has exactly the same dimensions as the two-door coupé (4638millimeters long, 1825 millimeters wide and a wheelbase of 2810 millimeters. Up front, both models are identical and share the typical BMW design features like the double-kidney grille, dual round headlights and the large air intake in the front apron. However, the roof of the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé is twelve millimeters higher, 112 mm longer stretching into the rear quarter panels and boot lid. The typical BMW short overhangs, the long bonnet and the set-back passenger compartment complement the design of the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé.

Finally the boot volume of 480 liters is 35 liters larger than that of the two-door version for more convenience in meeting the challenges of everyday driving situations.

The new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé offers a choice of five powerful and efficient engines. Topping the petrol range is the 435i’s six-cylinder in-line 3.0-liter petrol engine which delivers 306hp, with a combined fuel consumption 8.1l/100 km and 189g/km of CO2 emissions.
