BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé Review 2022

The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé is a bold and commanding five-door coupé that brings more practicality to the 4 Series range, striking a nice balance between performance and functionality.

Rivals to the 4 Series Gran Coupé include the Audi A5 Sportback, Kia Stinger, Mercedes CLA, and Volkswagen Arteon.

Design, Practicality and Boot Space

The first thing you'll notice about the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé is the imposing front kidney grille with a hexagon pattern which gives it a serious road presence. The grille is underlined by large air intakes and slim LED lights, and towards the rear, it's finished off with an angled tailgate.

The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé is the most practical in the 4 Series range. There's plenty of space in the front for anyone above six feet tall, and they'll also find a big glovebox and a helpful centre armrest. There's slightly less space in the back, and taller folk might find their heads hitting the roof.

Boot space for the 4 Series Gran Coupé comes in at 470 litres which can be extended to 1290 litres with the rear seats split 40/20/40 and folded flat. This pips the regular 4 Series by 30 litres, making it bigger than the Audi A5 Sportback and Mercedes CLA

Interior and Trims

The interior of the 4 Series Gran Coupé is what you'd expect. It features a range of pleasant materials which are nice to touch, and even though there are some fewer quality materials, they're in well-hidden places.

Coming standard in the 4 Series Gran Coupé is a 10.25-inch infotainment system which can be controlled as a touch screen or through the rotary controller between the front seats. It comes with sat-nav, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay as standard. There's also a sharp 12.3-inch digital instrument display behind the steering wheel.

Three trim levels are available, the M Sport, M Sport Pro, and the M440i xDrive.

The entry-level M Sport comes with 18-inch grey alloy wheels, an M Sport leather steering wheel, three-zone automatic air conditioning, and front and rear parking sensors.

The M Sport Pro adds to this with 19-inch black alloy wheels, M Sport brakes with red callipers, M Sport seat belts, and M adaptive suspension.

The top-of-the-range M440i xDrive comes with 19-inch M double-spoke alloy wheels, an aluminium tetragon interior trim, extended high-gloss Shadowline exterior trim, and features its exclusive engine with mild-hybrid technology.

Power and Performance

A range of petrol and diesel engines are available for the 4 Series Gran Coupé.

The entry-level 420i petrol engine will be good enough for most. It's a nice balance between price and performance, coming with 184bhp and achieving an official 0-62mph in 7.9 seconds.

bmw-4-series-gran-coupe-2022-interior

If you want more power, go for the range-topping M440i xDrive, which features mild-hybrid technology. It comes with a whopping 375bhp and achieves 0-62mph in just 4.7 seconds, making it a very exciting drive.

One of the diesel options would be a good choice if you plan on covering some miles. They all feature mild-hybrid technology taking their fuel economy above 50mpg, and they're also more than powerful enough, coming with 190bhp and achieving 0-62mph between 7.3 and 7.6 seconds.

All 4 Series Gran Coupé's come with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, which is responsive and acts with little delay when you want to accelerate. However, steering can be too overwhelming, making on-the-road performance a little jumpy.

Leasing vs Buying

Prices for the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé start from £43,110.00 OTR* or to lease from £495.20 per month.

Simon BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe 420i M Sport Auto (Professional Media) *Inc. Sun Protection Glass*

Very comfortable, great on a long journey, good economy, excellent gearbox. Navigation is the best out there. Practical with the rear hatch and fold down seats. Good looking car although I chose the wrong colour - a little bright for me! Rides well on the 18 inch wheels but looks better with 19s. Glad I went for the 18s though. Overall really pleased with the car. It isn't that fast but that doesn't matter once up to speed. It is quiet, efficient and completely hassle free.

Richard BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe 420d (190) M Sport Auto (Professional Media) *Inc Sun Protection Glass*

My biggest disappointment with this car is the media technology. It just isn't very good. This is my first modern BMW, and the media compared to similar cars is quite behind. No car play, pod casts restart after a phone call with no way to fast forward. I knew before i ordered the car there was no Car Play, but the rest of it lets it down. Also, no electric seats! Clearly not an issue with Nationwide Vehicle contracts, this is all BMW centric.

Stephen BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe 420d (190) M Sport Auto (Professional Media) *Inc Sun Protection Glass*

As an "in stock" deal this was fantastic value for money. It's good to drive and pretty powerful for a 2 Litre diesel, although having also test driven the 430D that would have been my preference but was sold out on the in stock deals. Also a stunning car to look at for a 4 door car in my opinion. Minor niggles are the seats which are a bit of a hassle to raise / lower the height - electric seats would be better and the media system has a tendency to not always link up to Apps, particularly spotify which can be frustrating. But overall, very happy with the car for the price per month

No folding mirrors, engine auto stop should not engage as default on start up but selected when required (this is a so annoying feature on modern cars)
