BMW's lineup of Gran Coupe models will expand in 2019 to the 2 Series. The four-door subcompact was already spotted on public roads, but the big news is that it will arrive with a hybrid drivetrain too. That's the word from BMW Blog, which claims that BMW will stuff an electric motor in the M Performance version.
The range-topping, non-M model will most likely arrive with 252 horsepower, just like the two-door version.
Below the hybrid, BMW will offer a wide range of gasoline and diesel engines. Just like the latest 3 Series, the 2 Series Gran Coupe will feature a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine, most likely rated at 143 horsepower. BMW will also offer a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with close to 200 horses. The diesel range should include a 2.0-liter four-pot in three flavors: 156, 197, and 240 horsepower.
The 2 Series Gran Coupe will be part of the new-generation 2 Series that will replace the F22 model, introduced in late 2013.
