A number of spy photographs believed to be that of the 2020 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe was shared on a number of social media platforms and blogs. The camouflaged 2020 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe was spotted doing test drives at the storied Autobahn highway system in Germany.
Based on the photos, the upcoming 2 Series Gran Coupe is simply going through with the traffic. However, with its highly camouflaged façade, it has caught the attention of quite a number of people. One of the most noticeable changes in coupe's body is its rear end. The car now sports trapezoid-shaped exhausts each situated on the corner of each back. There is also a new diffuser styled design that runs in between the two exhausts.
The new photos of the famed sedan gave fans some hint of what to expect once it hits the market. Based on the spy photographs, the sedan will continue with BMW's current design aesthetics. However, one major feature was removed as it no longer features the massive grille which was greatly criticized by fans and analysts alike.
As for its specifications, the 2020 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe will have a two-wheel front-drive platform. There are rumors pointing to the possibility of an all-wheel drive. However, many auto insiders have noted that these rumors should be taken with a grain of salt as BMW has yet to release the official specs sheet of the upcoming sedan.
Following its debut in Los Angeles, the 2020 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is expected to hit showrooms both in Europe and the United States within the first half of 2020. With the sedan spotted on the Autobahn for test drives, it has led many analysts to conclude that BMW might well be on the last phase of tests before finally unveiling the car.
The top model of the upcoming 2 Series Gran Coupe is expected to sport a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine from the X2 M35i model. This engine is capable of outputting 302 horsepower with 332 pound-feet worth of torque.
Once it hits the market, the 2020 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe will go head-to-head against some of the most notable names in this particular segment of the market. Among its biggest rivals will be the Audi A3 Sedan and the Mercedes-Benz CLA Class, both of which are expected to sport a new generation model anytime soon. As for its price, BMW has stated that it will reveal it along with the car within the foreseeable future.
