The second-generation BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé has been reimagined to offer an even more dynamic presence.
Lars Nielsen, Managing Director of BMW Group Asia, summed it up best: “The all-new BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé is a stunning machine that exudes power and performance, no matter how you look at it. Behind the wheel is where its racing DNA shines through, with precise cornering, powerful brakes, and a rich engine note that is pure BMW M.”
Up front, the wide kidney grille, flanked by Adaptive LED headlights, gives the Gran Coupé a low-slung, road-hugging stance. The large lower air intakes, sleek silhouette with long bonnet, short overhangs, and flowing roofline enhance its athletic proportions.
The rear is no less dramatic, with wide-set taillights and a clean, sculpted surface that has a muscular look.
The new model has grown slightly, now measuring 4.5 metres in length (an increase of 20mm) with a wheelbase of 2.67 metres.
Its width stands at 1.8 metres, and it’s 25mm taller, giving it a slightly more commanding stance on the road.
Step inside, and you’re welcomed by a leather-free, high-tech interior designed for both driver engagement and premium comfort. The standard M Veganza/Alcantara trim or Veganza perforated in Coral Red/Black lends a sporty yet refined touch, complemented by hand-sewn contrasting seams on the dashboard.
BMW’s signature Curved Display, a newly designed gear selector, and dynamically backlit interior trims all come together to create an immersive, futuristic cockpit.
The rear seats offer a 40:20:40 split-folding function, and the boot provides 430 litres of storage capacity.
Under the bonnet, the BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé is powered by a 300hp, 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder engine. With BMW’s M TwinPower Turbo Technology, it churns out 400Nm of torque, catapulting the Gran Coupé from 0-100km/h in just 4.9 seconds.
To keep power in check, BMW has fitted the car with an adaptive M suspension as standard, which allows for a variable, mechanically controlled damping system. The sports steering setup provides precise feedback, and the M Sport brakes ensure confidence-inspiring stopping power.
BMW has outfitted the new M235 xDrive Gran Coupé with a comprehensive suite of driver assistance features. Standard equipment includes Driving Assistant with front collision warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Speed Limit Info, as well as Parking Assistant with Reversing Assistant.
The all-new BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé is now available in Singapore at a retail price of $341,888 (including COE, subject to VES Band C1 classification).
