BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé pricing and specifications

BMW Group Australia has announced the pricing and specifications of the 4 Series Gran Coupé. Based on the recently introduced 4 Series Coupé, the Gran Coupé is priced from an identical $70,000 for the 420i and adds an extra pair of doors at the back for improved functionality.

“The Gran Coupé variant adds more functionality to the BMW 4 Series without compromising any of the aesthetics or driving enjoyment of the vehicle,” said Phil Horton, Managing Director of BMW Group Australia.

“And in line with BMW’s strategic product direction, the additional functionality will not come at a premium. The 4 Series Gran Coupé will be similarly equipped and identically priced to the equivalent two-door Coupé models,” said Horton.

Boasting nearly identical exterior dimensions to its two-door stable mate, the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé is 4,638 mm in length, 1,825 mm wide and shares the same wheelbase and track of the 4 Series Coupé.  The major difference between the Coupé and the Gran Coupé lies in the roofline, which sits 12 mm higher and extends a further 112 mm towards the rear of the car.

The two frameless rear doors of the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé offer greater access to the 2+1 rear bench seat and the increased height and length of the roof is said to allow for greater rear passenger headroom. Added to this is the 35 litre increase in the luggage compartment, now boasting 480 litres of room – up to 1,300 litres with the standard 40:20:40 split fold rear seats folded down – which provides more convenience for everyday commuting.

The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé line-up is identical to the two-door Coupé models, which are all powered by BMW’s TwinPower turbo engines. These include:

BMW 4 Series 420i Gran Coupé:

• Four-cylinder in-line turbocharged with direct injection,
• 135 kW, 270 Nm,
• 0–100 km/h: 7.6 sec,
• EU fuel consumption: 6.1 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions: 142 g/km.

BMW 4 Series 420d Gran Coupé:

• Four-cylinder in-line turbocharged diesel,
• 135 kW, 380 Nm
• 0–100 km/h: 7.5 sec
• EU fuel consumption: 4.6 litres/100 km
• CO₂ emissions: 121 g/km

BMW 4 Series 428i Gran Coupé:

• Four-cylinder in-line turbocharged with direct injection,
• 180 kW, 350 Nm
• 0–100 km/h: 6.0 sec
• EU fuel consumption: 6.4 litres/100 km
• CO₂ emissions: 149 g/km

BMW 4 Series 435i Gran Coupé:

• Six-cylinder in-line turbocharged with direct injection,
• 225 kW, 400 Nm
• 0–100 km/h: 5.2 sec
• EU fuel consumption: 7.6 litres/100 km
• CO₂ emissions: 178 g/km

These fuel figures are due, in part, to the inclusion of an eight-speed Sports Automatic transmission as standard fitment for all BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé models.

The 4 Series Gran Coupé also share nearly identical specification to the equivalent 4 Series Coupé models, including the full suite of BMW Dynamic Stability Control systems, 6 airbags, Park Distance Control, rear view camera, automatic Bi-Xenon headlights and anti-dazzle interior rear view mirrors.

All BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé models (excluding 435i Gran Coupé) also include either ‘Sport Line’, ‘Modern Line’ or ‘Luxury Line’ as standard.

Also available for the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé is BMW ConnectedDrive, which provides access to a comprehensive range of in-car services and apps for unrivalled connectivity. This means all models in the range will come equipped with a permanent SIM card installed with BMW Teleservices and Intelligent emergency call activated.

Optionally available is the ConnectedDrive Lifestyle package which includes ConnectedDrive services (BMW Online and apps) and Remote services or the ConnectedDrive Freedom package which adds Real Time Traffic Information and Concierge services on top of the ConnectedDrive services and remote services.

The new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé will be available in Australian showrooms from June 2014.
