The bookings for the entry-luxury sedan commenced a few weeks back through BMW's official website as well as authorised dealerships across India.

The updated BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe sports a refreshed exterior that leans heavily into the brand's evolving sporty design language. The front fascia is now smaller and more aggressive, with a flat nose, peeled-back LED headlamps, and bonnet creases that jut out aggressively, meeting at the grille and giving it a more muscular stance.

In profile, the coupe features bigger wheel arches that add to its road presence, and at the rear, it is characterized by boldly styled LED taillamps that run horizontally to make the car look wider. In terms of practicality, the coupe offers 430 litres of boot space, making it reasonably accommodating for a car with a sporty silhouette. 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe: Features
Inside, the new 2 Series Gran Coupe has been comprehensively updated to reflect BMW's modern interior layout, consistent with its newer sedans. The dashboard itself includes a curved display unit that accommodates both the touchscreen infotainment and the all-digital driver's display, both of which operate on the latest brand operating system.
Part of the luxury treatment is the presence of ambient lighting bars that both enhance the cabin's look while also varying in color according to interior temperature settings—blue for cold and red for hot, providing functionality as well as panache. The incorporation of high-end materials and de-cluttered dash arrangement reflects BMW's dedication to high-endness and driver-centricity.

Under the bonnet, the facelifted 2 Series Gran Coupe sports a 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology. It produces 154 bhp and 230 Nm of torque, with the help of an additional 20 bhp under acceleration from the electric motor. The mild-hybrid assistance propels the coupe from 0 to 100 kmph in 8.6 seconds.
The car rides on a front-wheel-drive platform, and BMW says it stiffened up the chassis for improved dynamics. With stiffer front springs and multi-valve dampers, the new setup will provide a smoother ride and better cornering capability—something long associated with BMW buyers.

'There's A Chance I Won't Drive At All...': Max Verstappen Addresses Horner's Exit, Mercedes Rumours
Max Verstappen said Christian Horner's departure won't affect his future with Red Bull. He remains committed through 2028 and is excited about Laurent Mekies' leadership. Max Verstappen has made it clear that Christian Horner's sudden departure as Red Bull team principal will not influence his own future with the team. The four-time world champion, who has been the subject of transfer speculation linking him to Mercedes for the 2026 season, indicated on Thursday that he remains committed to seeing out his current contract with Red Bull, which runs through 2028. Speaking to reporters ahead of this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix—a circuit close to his heart due to his Belgian birthplace and maternal roots—the 27-year-old Dutchman emphasized that his focus remains solely on car performance, not management changes. Horner's Departure Has 'No Impact" When asked if Horner's exit after two decades at the helm made it more likely that he would stay with Red Bull, Verstappen gave a firm and simple response: 'No, it doesn't. Not really." He also downplayed the reported tensions between his father, Jos Verstappen, and Horner, saying personal disputes had no role in shaping his professional decisions. 'People can have a difference of opinion, and I expect that to happen. If everyone agrees, there is a problem. 'You need to have differences in opinion. Now, we will work in a different direction, and I am excited about it. I don't think it will matter at all for the decision over my future." Backing Mekies for New Chapter Verstappen expressed enthusiasm for the team's new leadership under Laurent Mekies, who has been promoted from Red Bull's sister team, Racing Bulls, to replace Horner. 'I had already had quite a few meetings with Laurent as well, you know. The last two weeks have been quite intense. 'I'm equally excited for the team now moving forward because that's what we have to do." Mekies' technical background is expected to sharpen Red Bull's engineering direction as they look to reclaim dominance in a fiercely competitive field. On His Future: 'Life Is Unpredictable" When asked whether he had a decision to make regarding his future, Verstappen responded with philosophical ambiguity. 'There is also the possibility of not waking up tomorrow, and so there is no driving. 'Life is unpredictable and, in general, I am happy with where I am at… 'The target was that when I signed my deal, I would drive here until the end of my career." Despite the swirling rumors and shifting leadership, Verstappen appeared calm and focused, preferring to channel his energy into performance on the track.

Christian Horner's Exit Has No Impact On My Future Plans: Max Verstappen
Max Verstappen insisted on Thursday that Christian Horner's shock departure as team boss of Red Bull will have no impact on his future plans. The four-time world champion, who has been linked with a move to Mercedes next year, suggested that he expects to stay with Red Bull until the conclusion of his current contract in 2028. Speaking to reporters in the paddock ahead of this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix, one of his 'home' races as he was born in Belgium and his mother is Belgian, the 27-year-old Dutchman said he was concerned only with improving the speed and performance of his car. The rest, he said, was not of great interest to him, adding that past tensions between Horner and his father Jos Verstappen had no bearing on decisions about his future. Asked if Horner's exit after 20 years as team boss made it more probable that he would stay at Red Bull next year, Verstappen said: "No, it doesn't. Not really." He said the well-publicised discord between his father and Horner was never a problem. "People can have a difference of opinion and I expect that to happen because if everyone agrees, there is a problem. "You need to have differences in opinion. Now, we will work in a different direction and I am excited about it and I don't think it will matter at all for the decision over my future. "The only thing that matters is that we work on the car and make it as fast as we can and try and be more competitive this year, a little bit, but for sure with the new regulations next year." Verstappen had earlier welcomed the appointment of Frenchman Laurent Mekies, promoted from junior team Racing Bulls, as Horner's successor and clearly sensed that it could usher in a stronger technical and engineering focus at the team. He gave an oblique response when asked if he had a decision to make about his future. "There is also the possibility of not waking up tomorrow and so there is no driving. "Life is unpredictable and, in general, I am happy with where I am at… "The target was that when I signed my deal, I would drive here until the end of my career." Verstappen will be hoping to end the speculation and give both the team and new boss Mekies a boost with a convincing performance this weekend on his favourite circuit. The Dutchman finds himself in the unaccustomed position of third in the drivers' standings, behind leader Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, both of McLaren.
