Spy Video: 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe Road Test

Compact Luxury Sedans and the Future of BMW

Recently, BMW posted a spy video where a prototype of the future 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe was tested and nearly completely camouflaged. That’s the future of luxury cars and I’m excited to see where BMW is heading with its least expensive 4-door sedan. From the spy footage, one can glean here and there about what BMW has in store for the next-generation 2 Series GC .

Evolutionary Styling Cues

Most of the car is concealed by heavy camouflage but the gross overall look and dimensions of the test mule do resemble the current 2 Series Gran Coupe. The layout of the window line, the profile of the roofline, the shortness of the trunk, and the overall roofline slope do not change. This is indicative that BMW will maintain the 2 GC’s appealing fastback sedan design.

I would predict more extroverted front and rear bumpers according to the latest trademarks of the brand. The camo car has also received revised wheels which are integrated well into the overall sportier aesthetic.

Refined Chassis Dynamics

In the spy video, the prototype can be seen navigating though what looks like some rather sharp and twisting mountain roads. This suggests that BMW has been improving the 2 Series GC’s dynamics.

I am expecting enhancements such as a firmer body structure, new suspension positioning, and more responsive steering for enhanced high-speed stability. The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe of the next generation promises to become an incredibly thrilling and entertaining compact luxury sedan for enthusiastic driving.

Interior Technology Improvements

Despite the interior section being fully obscured, it goes without saying that the 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe will come with the newest BMW infotainment systems.

I would like to witness a curved display setup like in the case of the i4 and iX EV; better driver assistance features; and refined materials and structure. The interior should appear more premium and contemporary as compared to what is on offer with the current model which has a rather utilitarian feel to it.

Electrification on the Horizon

It seems that the spy tester still relies on old fashion piston engines. But I expect the 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe to have new mild hybrid powertrains as the automaker transitions to full electrification. This could be complemented by an entry-level plug-in hybrid variant in response to steady emissions standards increment. Electrification would increase fuel economy slightly, and at the expense of relatively limited power output.

The final BMW compact car that deserves our attention is one of the most important cars in BMW’s lineup.

Conclusion

BMW has a lot to prove with the third-generation 2 Series Gran Coupe based on the investment in this test mule. The model aims to continue with the tradition of low price but with a significant advancement in driving dynamics, technology, and better interior touches.

Depending on how it all turns out, it could be the finest compact sports sedan BMW has ever launched to the market. Yes, it does, and based on the positive things that have been said about this car, I can’t wait to get behind the wheel once the 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe hits the market.

Please watch the video below where we present you the all-new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe in a test mule, the car being camouflaged.

P.S.: Do you think the car will have a great design or not? I think it will look fine, but will not look like a BMW. Oops…
