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.
