4th April, 2014

  • New BMW 4 Series variant
  • Arriving from June 2014
  • 420i, 420d, 428i and 435i available at launch

BMW Group Australia has confirmced the impending arrival of a new addition to its 4 Series range – the all new 4 Series Gran Coupe.

This new model follows the recent introduction of the Coupé and Convertible BMW 4 Series models, and with its added functionality, further broadens the appeal of the range.

According to Phil Horton, managing director of BMW Group Australia, the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé brings the BMW 4 Series styling and dynamics to a wider audience.

“The Gran Coupé variant adds more functionality to the BMW 4 Series without compromising any of the aesthetics or driving enjoyment of the vehicle.”

“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 Coupe and the Gran Coupe 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 allows for greater rear passenger headroom and improved comfort. 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 the latest BMW TwinPower turbo engines boasting relevant power and torque figures, yet still returning competitive fuel economy. 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 rating: 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 rating: 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 rating : 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 rating: 7.6 litres/100 km; CO2 emissions: 178 g/km.

These 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.

As well as claiming relevant performance figures for their engine class, all three models combine efficient engine and transmission combinations with a suite of BMW EfficientDynamics technologies to achieve competitive consumption and emissions figures. Each BMW 4 Series Coupé is equipped with Auto Stop/Start, Brake Energy Regeneration, ECO PRO mode and on-demand ancillaries such as electric power steering.

The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé shares a high level of standard specification nearly identical to that of the equivalent BMW 4 Series Coupé models. The exceptions include the addition of automatic tailgate operation and 40:20:40 split fold rear seats which are fitted as standard on every BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé model.

The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé will also include an inbuilt SIM card on every model to enable the full suite of BMW ConnectedDrive features for the first time in Australia.

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