BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe returns to PH in 420i guise
BMW Philippines distributor SMC Asia Cars Distributor Inc continues to expand its lineup of vehicles this 2023.
After launching the iX3, X1, 7 Series, and 3 Series Touring, the Bavarian automaker has now revealed the all-new 4 Series Gran Coupe. That's right, the next-generation four-door liftback of the 4 Series has arrived in the country, and it's looking stylish while also packing plenty of features.
Despite getting an extra set of doors, the 2024 4 Series Coupe still comes with the sleek roofline that has become one of its signature features. Meanwhile, the front fascia has been redesigned and gets the infamous vertical kidney grille design, more aggressive LED headlights with U-shaped fiber optic LED daytime running lights, and a sportier front bumper.
Towards the side, the all-new 4 Series Gran Coupe will surprise owners with the flush door handles, as well as the massive 19-inch M light double-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in run-flat tires. And speaking of M, the four-door liftback also comes with the M Aerodynamic Package for that extra zing and style.
Hop inside and the 4 Series Gran Coupe greets occupants with Sensatec Perforated Tacora Red upholstery. This serves as a nice contrast against the predominantly gray and silver-finished cabin. Like the rest of BMW's lineup, the vehicle is equipped with the Live Cockpit Professional. It consists of a 5.1-inch digital instrument cluster and an 8.8-inch infotainment display. It also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as navigation and a hi-fi loudspeaker system.
Other key features inside 2024 4 Series Gran Coupe include; automatic climate control, LED ambient lighting, an M leather steering wheel, an anthracite headliner, sport seats for the driver & front passenger, velour floor mats, an automatic tailgate, and memory seat function for the driver.
Under the hood is a 2.0-liter B48 TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder engine that is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. The engine puts out a respectable 184 PS at 4500 to 6500 rpm and 300 Nm of torque between 1300 to 4300 rpm. It can sprint from 0 – 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds and hit an electronically-limited top speed of 240 km/h. Complementing the powertrain is an M Sport suspension setup that provides improved handling.
The 2024 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe is available in 420i spec and can be yours for PHP 4.890 million. It's also covered by the brand's 5-year/200,000 km warranty.
