This 2021 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe brings a fresh perspective to the entry-level luxury segment. With its sloping roofline and coupe-inspired silhouette, it stands out from the pack of traditional compact sedans while retaining the practicality of four doors and a spacious trunk. It’s a confident, stylish choice for urban drivers who want more than just A-to-B transportation.
Under the hood lies a 2.0-litre TwinPower Turbo inline-four, delivering a lively 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Paired to an 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission and BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel drive system, the 228i provides strong acceleration (0–100 km/h in just over 6 seconds) and year-round capability — ideal for Canadian winters. Despite its performance credentials, it remains efficient, sipping an average of 8.2 L/100 km combined.
Inside, the cabin feels thoroughly modern and unmistakably premium. The Premium Enhanced Package turns the 228i from well-equipped to truly luxurious. Drivers benefit from Live Cockpit Professional, BMW’s fully digital gauge cluster and infotainment system with crisp graphics and seamless navigation. Gesture control adds a high-tech flair, allowing you to adjust volume or skip tracks with the wave of a hand.
Connectivity is top-notch, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, and multiple USB ports.
Ergonomics are also a strong suit — the power-adjustable heated front seats with lumbar support offer excellent comfort, and the heated steering wheel is a welcome touch in colder climates. Rear seat space is competitive for the segment, and the 430-litre trunk is surprisingly generous for a vehicle with coupe-like proportions.
On the road, the 228i xDrive feels nimble and composed. Steering is precise and well-weighted, and BMW’s adaptive drive modes let you tailor the experience from relaxed to sporty with the press of a button. Whether you're navigating tight city streets or enjoying winding back roads, the 228i feels planted and responsive.
In a class where many competitors lean heavily on front-wheel drive architecture and conventional designs, the 2021 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe offers something different: European flair, real performance, and luxury tech that trickles down from BMW’s flagship models. With the Premium Enhanced Package, it’s not just an entry point into the brand — it’s a full-fledged BMW experience......Read Less
