BMW 218i M Sport 1.5i Gran Tourer

from £194.34 (+ VAT) per month

The BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is the larger of the two MPVs available from BMW. After its first venture into people-carrier territory with the 2 Series Active Tourer, BMW has now added bigger offering, offering a more practical and affordable family car than the likes of the 5 Series saloon or expensive SUVs such as the X3 and X5.

Both petrol and diesel engines are available, and all are at least fairly fuel efficient. The Gran Tourer’s engines are borrowed from the MINI range, as are its front-wheel-drive layout and many mechanical parts. This package means the Gran Tourer competes directly with cars like the Ford S-MAX and Citroen Grand C4 Space Tourer – albeit at a rather higher price.
