6 Feb, 2017

Looking for a new family car? The BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer might be just what you're looking for!

10 Reasons why the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is perfect for your family

10 Reasons why the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is perfect for your family

Purchasing a family car is a whole different ball game compared to buying a car for yourself. You’d want a car that’s comfortable, efficient, roomy, and of course, safe.

The BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is all that, and more. Click through this gallery to find out why.

1. It can keep up with your young family’s leisure-oriented lifestyle

1. It can keep up with your young family’s leisure-oriented lifestyle

The BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is designed with your family’s lifestyle in mind. Everything from its storage solutions to its seating capacities to its entertainment options make it the ideal vehicle for your family’s road trips—whether it’s out into the great outdoors or simply a trip to your neighbourhood mall.

2. It seats 7 people comfortably

Are the grandparents coming along to lunch? Are a few of your kids’ friends staying over? Forget having to bring a second vehicle—choose a car that can seat you all. Because the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer has a third row of seats for two extra passengers, it comfortably seats 7 people.
3. Storage solutions for all your knick-knacks

3. Storage solutions for all your knick-knacks

Whether it’s a place to store your keys, your kids’ books, snacks, or water bottles, the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer has got you covered. The front seat has a middle compartment perfect for smartphones, wallets, or keys and cup-holders behind the gear stick.

There are also storage compartments under the seats, optional folding tables found on the backs of the front seats, storage nets, and bottle holders found around the vehicle. No more toys strewn across the car seats or food scattered all over the place. Sweet, right?

4. All this trunk space!

When you don’t need the extra third row, you can lower it into the floor to save space and to create storage space. If you need even more space, you can fold the second row of seats over to create space for even the bulkiest of items.
5. Contactless opening and closing of tailgate

Got your hands full? The BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer makes it so much easier for you to load things into your car with a contactless opening/closing of the tailgate. All you have to do is wave your foot under the rear bumper for your tailgate to pop open or close. Pretty cool, huh?
6. Quick access to emergency services

When it comes to safety, the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer certainly delivers. Its Intelligent Emergency Call gives you quick access to emergency services, as well as support from BMW’s staff. If you ever need assistance on the road, support is only a button away.

In case of an accident that activates airbags or belt tensioners, an emergency call is automatically made to the BMW Call Centre. Your location, the severity of the accident, and possible injuries are transmitted and then relayed to the nearest rescue coordination centre.

7. LED headlights and cornering lights for relaxed and safer driving

7. LED headlights and cornering lights for relaxed and safer driving

The BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer’s headlights use bright and efficient bi-LED light for low-beam and high-beam headlights. The tail lights and cornering lights also use LED technology.

You can switch on low-brightness cornering lights for better side illumination, making it easier for you to spot pedestrians and bicyclists. The cornering lights also serve as static curve illumination at speeds of 40-70 km/h.

8. Extra tight parking spaces? No problem!

8. Extra tight parking spaces? No problem!

Never be intimidated by a tight parking space ever again. Park Distance Control lets you easily negotiate with tight spaces, with sensors that measure your distance to the objects in front of you and behind you. You’ll also be able to get a better look at the obstacles around you with the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer’s Control Display.
9. Minimised fuel consumption and CO2 emissions

With BMW EfficientDynamics, the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer boasts a BMW TwinPower Turbo engine that delivers maximum performance and minimum fuel consumption (3.9-6.4 l/100 km) and CO2 emissions (104-149 g/km).
10. Travel long distances without refuelling!

10. Travel long distances without refuelling!

The diesel-powered BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is capable of achieving a range of up to 1,200km at full capacity. It allows you to travel from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and come back without having to refuel!
