The 2026 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is a sedan with a 2.0-liter inline-four engine, 1,998 cc of displacement, and a 7-speed automated manual transmission. Across the three trims, output ranges from 241 to 312 horsepower, torque is 295 lb-ft, and 0–60 mph acceleration ranges from 4.7 to 6.1 seconds.
Front-wheel drive is offered on the 228, while the 228 xDrive and M235 xDrive use all-wheel drive. Premium unleaded fuel is required. Fuel economy is rated at 24 city and 33 highway MPG, with peak power arriving from 4,500 to 5,750 rpm and peak torque from 1,500 to 2,000 rpm.
The Gran Coupe measures 179.2 inches long, 70.9 inches wide, and 56.9 inches high on a 105.1-inch wheelbase. Its curb weight is 3,578 pounds, and cargo space behind the rear seats measures 12 cubic feet.
Buying a 2026 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe in Boston
Herb Chambers BMW of Boston serves Boston, MA, from 1168 Commonwealth Avenue. The store receives vehicles on a rolling basis, so shoppers can search inventory for current new BMW listings and review the available trim and drivetrain choices.
A trade can be part of the purchase conversation through the dealership’s online trade valuation tool. Comparing the 228, 228 xDrive, and M235 xDrive helps clarify whether the priority is the $39,600 starting MSRP, all-wheel-drive traction, or the 312-horsepower performance configuration.
What to Weigh Before Buying
Start with drivetrain selection. The front-wheel-drive 228 emphasizes the model’s lowest starting price, while the 228 xDrive and M235 xDrive add all-wheel-drive configuration; the M235 xDrive also reaches 312 horsepower and a 4.7-second 0–60 mph time.
Fuel planning matters because premium unleaded is required. The BMW’s 24 city and 33 highway MPG ratings, 12-cubic-foot cargo area, and sedan dimensions provide useful benchmarks when comparing daily commuting needs with performance priorities.
Trim pricing spans $39,600 to $50,000 before tax, title, registration, and dealer fees. A careful comparison of equipment, power, drivetrain, and intended use can help narrow the configuration worth considering.
