BMW’s 2 Series Gran Coupe Gets More Affordable With A New Base Petrol Variant

The 220i Sport variant, with a price of Rs 37.90 lakh, is placed at the lowest end of the pricing spectrum of the 2 Series Gran Coupé

• The sedan is now available in four variants: 220i Sport, 220i M Sport, 220d Sport Line, and 220d M Sport.

• The 220i Sport is cheaper than the top-spec 220i M Sport petrol by Rs 3 lakh.

• Misses out on multiple features including wireless charging, LED fog lamps, and bigger screens offered in the 220i M Sport.

• BMW has equipped the 220i Sport with the same 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine as the 220i M Sport.

• The 2 Series Gran Coupé is priced between Rs 37.90 lakh and Rs 42.30 lakh (ex-showroom).

BMW’s most affordable sedan, the 2 Series Gran Coupé, got its first petrol variant in January 2021. While that is a fully-loaded 220i M Sport, the carmaker has now introduced a more affordable 220i Sport variant at Rs 37.90 lakh (ex-showroom). Here’s the complete price list:

The newly launched 220i Sport sits at the lowest end of the variant list and is more affordable than the 220i M Sport by Rs 3 lakh. BMW is offering the 220i Sport in a total of five exterior shades: Alpine White, Black Sapphire, Melbourne Red, Storm Bay, and Seaside Blue. The top-spec 220i M Sport petrol variant is available in all these colours as well as two additional options: Misano Blue and Snapper Rocks Blue.

Since the 220i Sport is priced lower than the 220i M Sport, it misses out on multiple features, including LED fog lamps, 10.25-inch screens (digital driver’s display and touchscreen infotainment system), and wireless charging. Having said that, it does get dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting, a panoramic glass roof, a 6-speaker sound system, and cruise control with braking function. Safety is covered by six airbags, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), and runflat tyres.

• BMW 2 Series vs BMW 3 Series

Under the hood, it gets the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged unit as the 220i M Sport, rated at 190PS and 280Nm. This unit is paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and is offered with a front-wheel drivetrain. BMW claims the petrol-powered sedan can go from 0-100kmph in 7.1 seconds. It has a claimed fuel efficiency figure of 14.82kmpl. Like the 220i M Sport, the base-spec petrol variant also comes with three drive modes: ECO PRO, Comfort, and Sport.

BMW is offering the sedan with service and maintenance packages ranging from 3-years/40,000km to 10-years/2 lakh km. It will compete with the soon-to-be-launched Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan and Audi A3.
