With the latest EfficientDynamics and ConnectedDrive technologies, the new 2 Series Gran Tourer takes advantage of BMW's lead in driver safety, energy-saving and connectivity features. The 2 Series Gran Tourer shares its advanced front-wheel drive architecture - including the transversely mounted engines - with the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer.

There are lots of useful features in the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer. There are lashing points in the load bay and 'monorails' on the backrests of the front seats as standard, allowing a folding table to be attached. Much thought has gone into providing numerous storage compartments and space, including room for 1.5-litre bottles in each door panel.  

Within the vehicle's silhouette - characterised by a long wheelbase and short overhangs - distinctive lines rising towards the rear give the profile a clear wedge shape. The expansive side glazing accentuates the spacious interior, while a high roofline and large doors promise comfortable access to all seats. 

The interior of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer generates an airy feeling of space, combining a horizontal layering of surfaces and volumes with the hallmark BMW driver-centric design. A high seating position enhances all-round visibility; the visual demarcation between the centre console and the instrument panel actually gives the latter the appearance of floating in midair.

Five lightweight, powerful and fuel-efficient petrol and diesel engines will be available at launch in the new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer, all featuring the latest BMW TwinPower Turbo technology with either three or four cylinders. All engines in the range comply with the Euro 6 emission standard.  

The rear suspension features a compact multi-link design with particularly stiff control arms and a hollow anti-roll bar. Finally, an electromechanical power steering system provides precise steering and excellent feedback, with both hardware and software tuned for this particular application.
