2025 kicks off the second generation for the 2 Series Gran Coupe
Overview
The 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is the second generation of BMW's smallest sedan. It shares its name with regular 2 Series, which is a coupe only. The main appeal of a 2 Series Gran Coupe is that it's a low-priced way to get into a BMW. This year's model also gets a pretty significant overhaul. Highlights include more power and a revamped interior with new technology features.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe 228 xDrive 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.86 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.
The 2 Series Gran Coupe will launch in two trims, the 228 xDrive and the M235 xDrive. With 241 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, the 228 offers higher output — 13 horsepower and 37 lb-ft or torque — than last year's 228i xDrive. The 312-horsepower M235 xDrive is also up 10 horsepower on the outgoing model. The xDrive designation means that they have all-wheel drive, which is a nice bonus for owners living in areas with a lot of wintry weather. Starting midyear, a front-wheel-drive 228 sDrive will be made available. Inside, every 2 Series Gran Coupe gets a new 10.7-inch infotainment screen and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, both of which are housed under a single piece of glass. There's a standard Harman Kardon premium sound system.
Competitors to consider
The Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA are the two other pint-size Germans competing for your attention. The Audi is mildly updated for 2025 and costs a little less to start than the 2 Series Gran Coupe. The CLA has the prestigious halo of Mercedes, but it's more expensive and a bit dated compared to the newer 2 Series Gran Coupe. You might also want to check out BMW's X1 and X2 crossover SUVs. They're similar in size and price to the Gran Coupe and provide a bit more utility.
Which 2 Series Gran Coupe does Edmunds recommend?
We think most buyers will be happy with the 228 xDrive. With standard all-wheel drive and a healthy amount of standard equipment, this entry-level trim is a pretty good value.

2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe M235 xDrive 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
Just got my 2025 M235 and this car is asking to be driven and it is fast, this is my 5th BMW and it is loaded with any options you can think of, I had friends sitting in back seats and they told me that it is comfortable, unlike my X3 this one uses much less gas and so far it is showing 29 mpg combined , the only thing I’m really disappointed is no universal garage door opener and tires … are NOT run flat while you have no spare
