AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe and the BMW 2 Series Coupe place you low down behind the wheel with good forward visibility, and both feature sharp, quick-responding infotainment screens. Their compact dimensions also mean you can tackle narrow, winding country roads without worrying about staying between the lines. Neither car is particularly generous in the back, where six-foot passengers will find their heads brushing the roof or headroom tight, and both present you with awkward access through small boot openings. If you need to hitch up a trailer, the 2 Series Coupe can tow more than the 2 Series Gran Coupe.
