BMW makes the 4 Series Gran Coupé evolve in comfort and efficiency


    This is confirmed by the industrial project launched for the latest generation of the 4 Series Gran Coupé, a model that is assembled through a flexible production process at the BMW plant in Munich on the same line as the fully electric i4 and the 3 Series Sedan and 3 Series Touring models.


    BMW reaffirms this awareness of a gradual transition with the Power of Choice program, which provides the 4 Series Gran Coupé offering the choice between three petrol engines with powers between 184 and 374 Hp and the ultra-modern 2.0 TwinPower Turbo diesel unit with injectors. with solenoids that work at 2,500 bar and which, thanks to the exhaust gas treatment technologies and the presence of the 48 Volt hybrid system, contain Wltp consumption in 4.8 liters per 100 km and CO2 emissions in 126 gr / km.


    The new four-door coupe is 143 millimeters longer, 27 wider and 53 higher than the previous version.


    The track has also been widened (+50 millimeters at the front and 29 at the rear) as is the wheelbase (+46 millimeters) and 5 millimeters more than that of the 3 Series Sedan. The specific design of the bodywork results in larger interior spaces, especially in the rear area. The trunk offers 470 liters of space (+ 39 liters) times that can be expanded up to 1,290 liters by reclining the rear backrest sections.


    The generational leap is also perceived by observing the exterior design and the evolution of the details, such as the three-dimensional structure of the expressive front with the large protruding double kidney B grille, the thin full-Led headlights with U-shaped optical fibers for the daytime running lights. Adaptive LED headlights with Bmw Laserlight and Selective Beam and High Beam Assistant are available as an option.


    Precise lines, doors with frameless windows, recessed handles and powerful shoulders shape the elegantly sporty silhouette of the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé, while the roofline culminates in a pronounced spoiler on the tailgate. The horizontal lines dominate the back. Full-LED rear lights are darkened, extending to the sides. The interior of the new 4 Series Gran Coupé is dominated by the design of the center console which houses a control panel where the Start / Stop button, the BMW Controller, the Driving Experience Control, the electromechanical parking brake and the gear selector are gathered. specific for this model. Racing-style seats and a leather steering wheel are standard.The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé underlines its sporting credentials - further improved - with the top-of-the-range version M440i xDrive Gran Coupé which uses the 374 HP 6-cylinder petrol engine.


    In the 430i Gran Coupé the new 4-cylinder petrol engine with 245 HP makes its debut while the 420i Gran Coupé has 184 HP. In the case of the 420d Gran Coupé, under the hood is the modern 190 hp four-cylinder diesel, also replicated in the 420d xDrive Gran Coupé variant. It should be noted that in the M440i xDrive Gran Coupé and in all diesel variants there is mild hybrid technology that reduces emissions and further increases dynamism and efficiency by providing 11 hp more when accelerating or when shooting quickly. All engines are fitted as standard with an 8-speed Steptronic gearbox. The optional 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission (standard in the M440i xDrive Gran Coupé) complements its sharper dynamics and shift paddles on the steering wheel with a Sprint function.The sporting characteristics of the new 4 Series Gran Coupé are combined with a low center of gravity and a weight distribution of nearly 50: 50, as well as superior body rigidity. There is also an active air deflector control system that includes flaps at the top and bottom, as well as air intakes and an underbody (almost completely sealed) that optimize aerodynamics leading to a drag coefficient of 0.26 .air and an underbody (almost completely sealed) that optimize aerodynamics leading to a drag coefficient of 0.26.air and an underbody (almost completely sealed) that optimize aerodynamics leading to a drag coefficient of 0.26.
