BMW has lifted the lid on the final addition to the ‘G22’ 4 Series family with the arrival of the G26 2022 4 Series Gran Coupe, due to hit showrooms in late 2021.
The G26-generation 4 Series will be launched with a choice of three engines, as well as an M Performance variant due for delivery in November this year. The entry-level 420i is powered by a 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder petrol engine pushing out 135kW and 300Nm, with the 430i receiving a more powerful 190kW and 400Nm tune. Acceleration from 0-100km/h is claimed in 7.9 seconds and 6.2 seconds, respectively.
The M440i xDrive Gran Coupe is powered by a 3.0-litre turbo inline six-cylinder petrol paired with 48-volt mild hybrid technology, producing 275kW and 500Nm, with an extra 8kW on offer from the 48V unit. The 0-100km/h sprint is claimed in just 4.7 seconds.
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.
2022 BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe has gotten bigger and more stylish

The 2022 BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe has appeared as a larger and more stylish iteration of the first-gen model. The second-gen BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe is 5.9-inches longer, 1.0-inch wider, and 2.1-inches taller than the first-gen car. It also has a 1.8-inch longer wheelbase to offer more wiggle room despite the sloping coupe-like rear profile.
Also, the front and rear tracks have grown slightly by 1.6-inches and 0.7-inches in the front and rear, respectively. Astonishingly, the result of this growth spurt is a silhouette that looks eerily similar to the BMW i4, and it seems both cars share the headlights and taillights, as well.
