In a world where compact crossover SUVs are at the top of the market, a four-door sedan is more attractive than a two-door. Forget the grille. The 2022 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe is a perfect blend of a 3 Series sedan and a 4 Series coupe. Mat Watson of CarWow finds out if it’s worth paying extra for the added kudos of having a four over three.
Sedans might be out of fashion these days when everything is about crossovers, SUVs, and trucks, but there’s no denying that some companies aren’t letting the segment go down without a fight. Case in point, BMW hasn’t dropped the 4 Series Gran Coupe from its lineup and has just introduced the all-new second generation, which by the way, looks exactly like the i4 minus the latter's EV-specific details.

While the last prototype was doing cold-weather testing with full camo in the northern parts of Sweden, this week we are looking at a much less camouflaged test car somewhere in snow-less Germany.
As you can see, the car is pretty much naked despite pretty much all body parts being still covered in a psychedelic-looking wrap.
Oddly enough, BMW could do without any camouflage whatsoever now, since everyone should know what to expect when it comes to the exterior design of the model. Just take a 4 Series Coupe, elongate its wheelbase a little, add a couple of smaller doors for easier access into the rear seats and switch the traditional trunk lid with a big hatch that includes the rear windshield.
