This is the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe! It’s basically a 1 Series hatchback with a cool new, swooping roofline, but there’s a lot of reasons to love it! Get it in its range-topping M235i version and you’ll have a coupe with 306hp and a 0-60mph time of below 5 seconds! Sounds good, but is it practical, nimble and fun enough to really bring the fight to the Audi A3 Saloon and Mercedes CLA? Join Mat now and find out for yourself!

HAAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
Matt, you're just getting better and better. I thought it was not possible, since it was already very good. We need more presenters like you. Awesome review and awesome car. Thanks mate.
I can't get my head around how clumsy and ungainly this car looks from the side. It certainly doesn't look like a BMW nor a coupé!
Looks like the Elantra
agree
All of these 4 door "coupes" look awful in profile. Most look like a dog curling one out.
@@jamesharmer4253 yeah, they butchered all the good ones, BMW 6-series GC is discontinued and replaced with 8-series GC which is too muscle car looking, and VW Passat CC got turned into Arteon which is now a hatch like Skoda Rapid or new Skoda Octavia
it looks fat
7:40 Well I wasn’t expecting that.
Same 😳
Same! Fancy seeing you here Walshy 😂
Caught me off guard 😂
me neither...ahahaha
😂😂
7:37 she did say “currently not available” sooo we are waiting BMW

Nah the isofix flip up covers.

Out of all the channels that I ever watch this hands down has the most marketing. And yet it's not annoying at all. Good job on that guys!
Why soo many haters on this car.. I love it!
I barely got this car last month and didn’t know a lot of people hate it lol

“This function is not currently available”
Will it be in the future??!

man if they add that function as a standard feature for the next model year, the current model year buyers will be pissed
@@pininfarina575 with over the air updates they should be able to get it too 😂
Liked the video straight after that one line :)
Was honestly gonna buy a different car but took one of these for a test drive and was surprised at how violent it is for what it looks like. But if you get the right options it looks less like a grandmas car and more like something that should be fast.
awesome little car, my last one was a 2000 B5 Audi s4 and this thing is fun to drive
Voice Assistant scene was a surprise! 😲 and then the "thats what she said" 😲😲👀 Matt seems like he's going through stuff
I had a BMW M235i 2015 and the ruvoice commands still existed and wasd much more amazing Than post 2019 shitty monitor screen which made things unnecessarily more worse and complicated. For example the circular know to control.the menu was arbitrarily changed in terms of direction whereby spinning the control wheel left moved the GPS map to the right for example be just 3-6 years ago it was not that stupid. Furthermore fan made concepts of the 235 couple looked million times better than the real one
The most korean/japanese looking bmw ever!
whats wrong with Korea 😭
@@verystrongseju nothing's wrong with korea it's just that the 2 series is losing it's trademark BMW look.
@@verystrongseju Korean Spotted.
Play perfect games i am Korean and you’ve gotta problem?
Sadly it doesn't look like the new Mazda 3 which is a beautiful car. As BMW fan I'm depressed with the actual design strategy of the brand.
2:01 Get ready for more of the *"Not as good as Mercedes"* comments from Mat.
*How the tables have turned*
Marvello Perdana still faster than CLA 🙃
Did you even watch the video? He literally said „the interior is not as flamboyant as in a Mercedes but the quality is better and it has the best interior of all cars in that class“. Lmao man...
Indeed
@@barretres But looks so much worse... especially the Front.. 🤮
*how the turntables
Bought this car last month and I love it . Didn’t know a lot of people hate it tho Lol
Hey - enjoy your purchase...;o)
Had the 228i X-Drive model as a rental. Car handled well and acceleration was good. Nice driving position.
What wasn't so good was the poor low speed downshifts, combined with the auto engine stop & hard seats, driving in traffic was annoying and crashy feeling.

Ya I didn't expect him to do that
When I look at it it reminds me of like a Hyundai or in general a car of japanese design
These are mainly targeted at Chinese markets.
Recent Hyundai and Japanese designs look miles better. This looks like an old Hyundai
Well for the longest time Hyundai has copied BMW designs so...
Same with the new 1 series unfortunately
T-DavE definitely
"CAN I GET A BLOWJOB?" LMFAO
Legendary moment
I have a 2016 mercedes amg c63s and im considering getting this next as a cheaper alternative and more of a daily it looks so beautiful and the inside too, and the performance seems a reasonable change without sacrificing much on speed ☺️
To be honest it doesn't really look that "coupé" I don't know
It doesn't. It looks like a generic compact car. Actually, if they come out with a 'normal' 4 door 1 Series sedan, it won't look that different (and maybe even uglier). But I don't think they would do that because it's pretty obvious that the SEDAN is this one. It doesn't need a 1 Series 4 door.
it's a grandma coupe. looks like a saloon to me
Coupe is actually 2 door beauty, not 4 door, this is stupid. Cls is not coupe, 6 series gc is not coupe, gle coupe is not coupe and etc
It's not. It's grand coupe
Cuz it’s FWD and the car is to short yet too high up
BMW’s kidney grills are now known as nose grills.
it always reminds me of a pig nose, but you get used to it pretty quick
Or now known as the Kia Forte grille.
@@Ivan-np3ls I would have said gorilla myself.
KIA grill
Holy shit I agree with all written in this topic, KIA and Nlse grill. Shit it looks so bad in the front. What's up with the positioning of those headlights!?
Im not sure who needs sacking first, the person who drew the design or the person who picked it to build.
The person who gave the idea of calling it a coupe.
Mat: I actually now prefer the infotainment system you now get on the Mercedes CLA
BMW I-drive: Am I now a joke to you?
Mbux was better anyways
no the idrive is the best
Nice looking Hyundai Elantra you got over there!
Hey dont insult the Elantra like that! 😂
More like a Kia Rio LMFAO. The grill looks just like Kias
Doesn’t even look nothing close to an Elantra
But okay

Love the cheeky remarks
"Thats what she said"
Great Video.
It was great to see the comparisons to the trunk or speed cluster from other cars in the same class and great humor, you had really laughing out loud at some point. Just a bit more dirty jokes than usually, but they were nice. Great review!
That thing doesnt look like a BMW.
my sentiments, too. from the side I'd venture it's a Japanese or Korean design ...
It is absolutely hideous... look at those proportions! even worse than the 1st gen cla
Totally, they killed the 1 Series and 2 Series sedan, now the problem is, if they touch the 2 door 2-Series :(
It’s for people which cant buy a real bmw
BMW is not BMW anymore. I mean look at the E60, E46 or E39. And now look at the cars they call "BMW".
7:40, thought you'd never ask Matt, sending you address now.
🤣🤣🤣
Awesome car and great review as always, when will we see it in a drag race?
1:28 ... Jawdropping, after the sketch, i burst into laugh =))
Remember when BMW used to make cool looking cars?
Looks like the 0-60 was downhill too!
Back in 2013 when all the cars were sexy
Well the M8 Gran Coupe is the most beautiful car ever!
i8 looks great, but if it had the V8 in M5 competition (mid engine layout) and delete the rear seats and use them as storage instead, it will be a one hell of a car. 😍
Yes. It was downhill
They still make beautiful cars, it's 2 series, it must be uglier to not to compete with higher class models.
This grill is starting to look like Kia's tiger nose
Because new BMWs have connected kidney grills, and the vertical lines are gone. Kia's tiger nose grill looks better now.
You guys do know that KIAs grill was "inspired by" BMWs. So in other words, copied. The thing Asians do best.
@@betterbeavailable well, latest BMW models lost their signature side creases and look way too Japanese or Korean now, should I say BMW is copying others? Get over it.
@@waynewynnx7976 It doesn't bother me at all. It's you who need to get over with BMWs new design language.
@@betterbeavailable BMW's new designs some have nice and some hideous front/rear fascia but really bland side profile, especially the 3series that looks like some Lexus from 2010 and this 2series GC that looks so generic, much less interesting compared to the new Asian designs imo.
I’ll admit the rear can look odd from some angles. But I took a 220d M Sport home for a night and was amazed how much better it was to drive than my F22 M240i and F20 120d. Hopefully they’ll tidy up the back a little for the facelift.
10:35 I wonder why BMW decided to use the 1 series(which is based on a Mini) as the basis for the 2 series Gran Coupe, when they could have just added two doors to the regular 2 series coupe and stretch the wheelbase for more interior space. It would definitely increase the fun factor of this car, with more power, rear wheel drive and an optional six speed manual transmission.
That would be very close car to the 3 series. They don't want to decrease sales of their best seller car.
Justifies MINI's overall production. In the end, the BMW's that are based off the MINIs are what's really keeping the MINI brand viable. And now, the new MINIs will be based off of what really were intended to BMWs now. Like the latest X1, that came out before the next Countryman.
@@fp5495 the mini brand is more than viable without bmw using a few of their chassis 😂
BMW is my favourite car brand, but what they've been doing to their design department lately is questionable. That thing is absolutely hideous.
Mynt im in the same boat
Agreed
Mynt I couldn’t agree more
I totally agree with you. I find its design overly complicated, and the grille is way too obnoxious.
In my opinion the e series had the best body styles like e9x e46 e6x e39 e82. I thought the f series was ok but just didn't have as good looks and weren't quite as subtle but then the g series...
This carwow vid had weirdly more dirty jokes then usually
Is there a problem lala
@POISON chill bro
Harsshil Lala its awesome lol
Thats because he is married now
POISON Dirty jokes has nothing to do with islam and we humans aren’t beasts either to talk the whole time about sex and/or dirty jokes. It’s was just annoying in this video because it was unnecessarily too much.
When Mat flashed the "concept" drawing and the real thing I cackled
Excellent as always with Mat, its a joy and spot on in most cases. However, 9.9 lt per 100 k is more than decent fuel economy considering the 300+ horsepower and 4 wheel drive (4.4 sec to 100!!).
My US version has averaged over 36 MPG so far over about 2000 miles. Not bad at all
interesting. my e90 335i gets 10km per liter so pretty much the same? 3L twin turbo I6
@@ckodezpohio5944 don't forget VZ is also AWD. Apart from that consumption is also relevant to hp and weight, my VZ over the weekend with 3 people on a trip of 500 km had an average of 8.2 lt/100 km, as the car is still new I didn't go over 150 km/hour on highways , mostly around 120/130 and country roads where speed is from 50 to 100 and half of those km with clima on. Nevertheless, I didn't get this car to save on fuel, and I believe the same stands for all who have this car or wish to have it, otherwise I would have bought instead a Yaris Hybrid to drive around town.
@@pkaps5799 yup! tbh that's still Allgood! we don't buy 35i to save on gas, even though mine save more than the n/a 3ltrs. and I can imagine ur economy is like that bc it's pushing a 2Litre out of its economy purpose. still fun none the less
thats one beutiful hyundai i30 fastback!
weekend Personally think the Hyndaui looks better lol
Tbh i find the i30 way better looking
Exactly, only hideous...
I30n looks far better. The rear of this is all weird and high while the front is just straight up fugly. Actually the side isn't great either. This car just looks shit
S G somehow reminds me of a suv coupe but BMW says SPORT COUPE
My favorite brand letting me down.
In BMW realm, this is grotesque.
Say thanks to the environment regulations
9.9 l/100km doesn't seem much eco friendly to me tbh...
@@cyberdemon6517 I doubt FWD is more environmentally friendly than RWD is...
@@codemy666 ikr

@@codemy666 well the car is lighter and loses less energy due to friction etc so yes, technically, it is more environmentally friendly (or should be)

7:40
Now I know why Mat used to like bmw idrive system so much
Like the new editing style 👍
Completely screwed up the look. Love the current 2 series coupe and especially the M240i. BMW went the wrong direction here; car got uglier, slower, and FWD.
FWD based to be "eco", they forgot to be BMW.
The next 2 Series coupe will still be a 6 pot and RWD.
BMW.... We still made the car just cheaper.... But will cost you more....
this isn't a replacement for the 2 series coupe lol
Jake Harvey I understand that but it’s disgusting...not at all what BMW should be selling
Ultimate driving machine wouldn’t be FWD 🤔😤
It's bmw's xdrive 4wd system, hence the 4.4 to 60...but agreed, it should be rear drive!
kane Langston #750 I will re-phrase it then, an ultimate driving machine should have a north/south facing engine 🤷🏼♂️
In snow or gravel it´s not bad at all. Ban electronic handbrakes thou!

@@romips9839 no sir, no. Matt doesn't strike us as the type. I could be wrong, but I highly doubt it.
Never thought I'd see the day when we have a 1.5L 3 cylinder engine with 140HP in a freaking BMW.
Downsizing is the norm now
@@shaleendutta3950 sure but I never expected it to be in a German car known for high performance, quality and driving pleasure.
I mean I don't associate puny engine power front wheel drive cars with expensive German automakers known for luxurious high performance, expensive cars.
It's taken straight from a base Mini Cooper, and it shouldn't be used there either.
140HP 1.5L is acceptable, but a 3 cylinder bimmer isn't. But at least it is not offered in 3 series yet. The smallest displacement E36 was 316i with NA 1.6L pushing 98HP. Even NA 1.5L in the lesser and slightly older mitsubishi colt has 98HP also but far more fun to drive. The 1.6L colt was 120HP.
@@yuliartoandry Bmw F30 318i had a 1.5 liter 3 cylinder engine (B38A15M0) with 130ish hp, so basically every F series, whether 3, 5 or whatever is a piece of shit car, speaking from experience. Last true Bmw cars were E series, even the end of E series generation is debatable (Im looking at you bmw e90). So to sum it all up, after E39 and E46 it all went downhill, brand got dilluted.
Please say it, please say it...
