This generation of the 4 series did attract a lot of controversy at the beginning of its release, largely because of the fact that its front face double kidney grille became larger and more slender. However, when the double-door version was officially met with everyone last year, many people still expressed the view of "true incense".
The elegant and dynamic side lines of the double door naturally capture countless consumers, but if you like the front face of the BMW 4 Series to meet the needs of more daily travel, then bmw's official release of the BMW 4 Series GrandCoupe in the second half of this year should be your best solution.
The shape of the BMW 4 Series GrandCoupe looks no different from the two-door version from the front, and the huge double kidney intake grille is matched with the angel eye headlights of the LED laser adapted to the near and far light, and the return rate on the road is absolutely a plus.
If you think that the 3 Series is too ordinary BMW loyal fans, upgrading the 4 Series GrandCoupe should be a good choice. The side of the body is more substantial than the two-door version, and the borderless doors are retained, taking into account the practical and ostentatious personality.
The wheelbase is 2856mm, which is only 5mm more than the two-door version, and only the four-door version is slightly better in terms of body height. Come to the rear of the body, thanks to the design of the coupe. The rear of the car falls rapidly from the C-pillar backwards, giving people a very sporty feeling, which is tighter than the "hips" of the new 3 Series.
The taillight part is the same as the two-door version, and the biggest difference is the rear enveloping part. The layered design of the BMW 425i Gran Coupe rear surrounds the room with different feedback sounds in the newsroom.
The cylinder brother believes that the design is better for the visual effect of the same color, the sneakback design has a pleasing 470L of space after opening the trunk, and the space of 1290L can be obtained after the second row of seats is lowered, and the practicality of the four-door version is indeed more in line with the needs of the Chinese market than the two-door version.
From the outside to the inside of the car, it is still very "BMW". Even if the steering wheel of the thong is removed, the sporty atmosphere can be felt from the moment you sit in your seat. The wrapping of the seat is quite good, and the combination of leather on both sides and the middle fur combines movement and comfort, and can maintain a fairly high coefficient of friction even in fast and continuous corners, so that your body will not be excessively sideways.
The size of the central control screen is 10.3 inches, the full LCD instrument is 12.3 inches, the configuration of the central control is consistent with the double-door version, and the paddle shift function is also retained on the steering wheel. The rear seats can accommodate two adults, but if you need to sit for 3 people, it will be crowded and can only support short-distance emergency use. And the rear backrest angle does not support adjustability, the backrest angle is more vertical than the opponent of the same level, and the long-term riding comfort is also slightly inferior.
Of course, the essence of BMW is not in the interior, but in the driving control. It is said that life can not avoid a 3 Series, the 4 Series as an evolution of the 3 Series in the G series of the generation has a significant difference in appearance compared to the F generation, so what about in the driving control?
From the actual experience, sure enough, as we expected, the 4 series is more faithful to the "original taste" of Bavaria.
First of all, in daily driving, although the low-power B48 engine is not outstanding in horsepower, it is still sporty in tuning, and when driving at low speeds, even if it is adjusted to THE COMFORT mode, it is still relatively difficult to start smoothly and linearly at the start of traffic lights.
If you're blindfolded and you feel it, you might think it's a BMW with a dual-clutch transmission, but it's still the classic ZF 8AT. But as long as the speed gradually increases, the smoothness of this set of power becomes quite excellent. Even under today's National Six B emissions, the acceleration of the middle and rear sections of the car is still slightly pushed back, but it is indeed smoother than the middle and rear sections of the previous generation 4 Series.
When you want to experience the driving control of this car, you only need to adjust the button to SPORT mode, and turn on the sports mode combination instrument function on the central control screen to maximize the driving pleasure of this car.
The chassis limit of the vehicle is quite high, after equipping the 19-inch front 245 and 255 width P ZERO summer sports tires, on the closed road 80 hours a sharp steering wheel steering into the corner, basically can not hear the sound of the tire, and the steering feel of the speed gain is also quite good, not too heavy but let the driver quite confident, the front of the car is more than the standard axle version of the current 3 series to a higher grade, Even in the case that everyone previously thought that the standard shaft version of the 3 series was already the same level of benchmark in driving control, this 4 series obviously had a deeper foundation in dynamics.
The suspension tuning of the 4 Series GrandCoupe is still relatively tough in daily use, but the filter shattering shock is exceptionally good, and it will not be hard to accept. If you are used to this kind of excellent tuning that is biased towards toughness, I believe that you can get the love of many people who love driving. This kind of suspension that responds quickly when the road surface is uneven can actually make daily driving more comfortable.
The chassis part and appearance part of the BMW 425i Gran Coupe M Sports Obsidian Suit Edition that were tested this time are indeed the two links that opened the gap with the 3 Series, but in order to improve the appearance and control, this model costs 150,000 more than the ordinary 325i version, which will dissuade consumers who love this car? Brother Cylinder believes that this kind of consumer products that are not volume is destined to satisfy a more discerning consumer group, and the sales volume of the 3 series in this generation is so impressive, I believe that the 4 series can also climb in sales.
