2023 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe Review

Vehicle's Overview

The 2023 BMW 228i Gran Coupe provides playful handling and a duo of turbocharged four-cylinder powertrains. The interior of the 228i Gran Coupe showcases a straightforward, driver-focused design with internal ambient lighting that lights up the dashboard and door panels. Although BMW states that rear-seat legroom is almost identical to the larger 3-series sedan, both front- and rear-seat occupants report feeling cramped inside.

Interior

Interior

The standard illuminated BMW 228i interior trim showcases the sporty design of the 2 Series Gran Coupe. The interior styling of the BMW 228i cabin provides a simple driver-focused design featuring ambient interior lighting that illuminates the door panels and dashboard. The entire interior cabin comes designed with the driver in mind, from the ergonomically oriented screens and controls to the included Sport Seats. The 2-series Gran Coupe provides a smaller cargo area since it is a coupe but offers enough space for grocery runs or fun weekend road trips. Regarding infotainment and connectivity, the 2023 BMW 228i Gran Coupe is equipped with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

Exterior

Four frameless doors, a dynamic shape, and sleek LED taillights give the traditional coupe style a contemporary twist. The double kidney grille's expressive design produces a very evocative appearance, highlighting the iconic BMW shark nose.

However, the 90-m diameter tailpipe of the BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe makes a visual statement. The 228i Gran Coupe features LED rear lights that highlight the vehicle's dynamic rear and provide better visibility.

An eight-speed automatic transmission with sporty gear changes is a standard on the 228i xDrive Gran Coupe. However, the gear shifts are configured for optimal performance in Sport mode and with the gear lever in the left-hand S/M position. So whether you choose automatic or manual using the gearshift paddles or gear lever, you can coast with incredible dynamic driving comfortably.
