🚗

The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe specifications describe a single engine shared by both variants. It is a 1.5 litre three cylinder turbo petrol unit of 1499 cc. Output is 156 PS, quoted as 154 bhp, with 230 Nm of torque. A seven speed dual clutch automatic handles the gears. Peak power arrives high, between 4900 and 6000 rpm.

Drive goes to the front wheels alone, which is unusual for a BMW sedan. The engine pulls cleanly from low revs and the gearbox shifts fast. Peak torque arrives early, between 1500 and 4600 rpm, so the car feels eager in town. BMW rates it at 16.35 kmpl on the ARAI cycle. The small engine and light body keep that figure reasonable for a luxury car. See how that mileage holds up day to day.

The dimensions read 4546 mm long with a 2670 mm wheelbase. Height is a low 1445 mm, which gives the coupe its stance. Width is 1800 mm, so it stays easy to thread through gaps. Ground clearance of 165 mm clears most speed breakers. The fuel tank holds 49 litres and boot space stands at 430 litres.

Both variants wear the M Sport package, so the equipment split is small. The Pro trim adds comfort and cosmetic items over the standard car. Safety and cabin kit sit at the level expected of an entry BMW. Seating is for five across two rows. The standard M Sport package brings sport styling inside and out. Check what each trim costs in your city to place the features against the price.

BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe power and torque explained

The 2 Series Gran Coupe keeps its range simple. There is one engine in India, a 1.5 litre three cylinder turbo petrol, driving the front wheels through a quick shifting 7 speed dual clutch automatic.

Both the 218 M Sport and the 218 M Sport Pro use this exact engine, so neither is quicker than the other. That makes your choice between them come down to features and price, not the way they drive.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best.

Peak figures come from the 1.5L Turbo Petrol spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The 1.5 turbo petrol makes its full 230 Nm of torque low down at 1500 rpm, which gives strong, easy pull through city traffic without working the engine hard. Both variants share it, so you can compare the two trims and choose on features alone. Peak power of 156 PS arrives at 4900 rpm, and with 3400 rpm between the two peaks, it keeps pulling as the revs climb, so overtakes and highway runs feel relaxed. As a small three cylinder turbo it should also stay light on fuel, and it is worth checking how far it goes per litre before you sign. It is the only engine here, and it suits daily commuting and the odd weekend trip equally well.
