“The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe might be another exercise in niche-filling, but you can’t say that it hasn’t been a well-executed one. Those drivers who find the 1 Series too, well, ordinary and the standard 2 Series Coupé too cramped could well find themselves swayed by the in-the-middle Gran Coupé.”

“The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is a good car, but will only appeal to a small audience. It’s just about big enough to be considered family transport, but its coupe design brings compromises on rear space and practical load-lugging ability.”

“Its gorgeous slinky roofline means there’s less head room for tall rear passengers – those 6ft and over will struggle to sit up straight in the back.”

“Whether or not you find the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé visually attractive is an individual matter, but we find its styling contrived and awkward. These attributes are married to lax body control that fails to deliver the precision or finesse for which BMW coupés are known.”

“Something in the back of your mind may be telling you it’s not a thoroughbred BMW in the traditional sense of the word, but driving it confirms that is exactly what it is.”

“The regular 2-series Gran Coupe variant has most of the strengths of the 1-series, minus a bit of its rear headroom, and with some extra swagger in its style.”

“The BMW M235i Gran Coupe is a really rather attractive package. It’s both easy to live with and offers great performance and an enjoyable driving experience as well. While the styling won’t please all tastes, this is a great affordable performance model.”

“While many might say this is a new car that BMW didn’t really need to add to its range, the 2 Series Gran Coupe offers plenty of appeal. Its looks might be controversial, but what can’t be queried are the levels of technology and the great driving experience.”

“The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is a four-door coupe with a fine interior and a great infotainment system. Space in the back is average, though, and it looks a bit awkward.”

“Good-looking with strong styling and fine handling, the 2GC is in some ways the pick of BMW’s small car range.”

“Perhaps one of the most encouraging things about the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is that it doesn’t cost the earth and should be a coupé that finally makes it onto fleet lists – with the added benefit of being a suitable antidote to the needless SUV stampede.”

“The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is a good effort and in the, admittedly small, pool of small four-door coupes, it’s the best to drive of the bunch – if you can live with the looks.”

“The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe comes across as a bit underwhelming. I’d choose a 1 Series if I wanted a BMW hatchback, or a Honda Civic if I wanted something a little left-field and high-quality. Actually, I’d probably have a Skoda Octavia vRS and end up with a better all-rounder for less money. And the best part is that choosing any of these cars wouldn’t make me feel I’d paid over the odds for a bit of marketing spiel.” (Alex Robbins)

“BMW has taken the practical 1 Series hatchback and turned it into a sleeker but less practical four-door coupé, badging it as the 2 Series Gran Coupé. There’s a sensible amount of space and reasonably involving driving dynamics, wrapped up in traditionally strong BMW quality and ergonomics.”
