The 2022 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe has been revealed ahead of an Australian arrival in the fourth quarter of this year.

 

Style-wise, the four-door coupe borrows heavily from the all-electric i4 with its sloping roofline and liftback rear.

 

Dimensionally, the Gran Coupe measures 4783mm in length, 1852mm in width and 1442mm in height. For context, it’s 143mm longer, 27mm wider and 53mm than the old model.

 

The wheelbase is 46mm longer taking it to 2856mm. Track width is up 50mm at the front and 29mm at the rear. The luggage space also jumps 39L to 470L, fold the back seats and there’s 1290L.

 

Like the two-door range, at launch, BMW will offer three grades - the 420i, 430i and M440i xDrive – all powered by turbo-petrol engines.

 

The 420i is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing 135kW and 300Nm. The 430i uses the same engine, however, it’s tuned to deliver 190kW and 400Nm. Both variants use an eight-speed automatic transmission to drive the rear wheels.

 

BMW claims a 0-100km/h sprint time of 7.9 seconds for the 420i and 6.2 seconds for the 430i.

 

The range-topping M440i xDrive gets a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six developing 285kW and 500Nm, it’s matched to an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. BMW says it will hit triple figures from rest in 4.7 seconds.

 

All models will use BMW’s Operating System 7.0 infotainment set-up consisting of a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen. The system features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

 

The brand’s Remote Software Upgrade tech is also standard, it enables improved vehicle functions, the ability to update the vehicle software and additional digital services to be imported over the air.

 

BMW says the new 4 Series Gran Coupe will arrive locally towards the end of 2021, specifications and pricing will be confirmed closer to the launch date.
