Who it suits. Compact BMW shoppers who want all-wheel drive Drivers with substantial highway mileage Buyers budgeting around EPA fuel figures
Choose the 2027 BMW 228 xDrive Gran Coupe if you want a compact BMW with all-wheel drive and are comfortable budgeting $2,750 a year for gasoline under the EPA estimate. Highway-heavy drivers may find the 38 MPG rating more relevant, while city-heavy use is represented by 26 MPG. The 30 MPG combined figure gives a simple baseline for mixed driving. This is not an electric model, so there is no charging or electric-range calculation to make. Its 289 grams-per-mile tailpipe CO2 figure is another part of the ownership picture.
What it is
The 2027 BMW 228 xDrive Gran Coupe is a compact car in BMW’s 2 Series family. It uses gasoline, an automatic seven-speed transmission, and all-wheel drive.

The numbers
The figure to watch is 30 MPG combined. EPA city and highway ratings are 26 MPG and 38 MPG. That split matters if your driving is mostly stop-and-go or mostly open road.
This is a gasoline car, so its EPA figures are expressed in miles per gallon rather than electric range or MPGe.
What it costs to run
EPA estimates yearly gasoline cost at $2,750. That gives you a direct budget figure for fuel, while your actual bill will depend on how much you drive and your gasoline price.
Tailpipe emissions are rated at 289 grams of CO2 per mile.
How it compares
The 228 xDrive Gran Coupe belongs in compact-car fuel-economy comparisons because its combined rating is 30 MPG. Its 38 MPG highway number may matter more than the combined figure for long commutes.

Who it suits
This car fits a buyer who wants a compact BMW with all-wheel drive and a gasoline powertrain. It also suits drivers who spend enough time on the highway to use its 38 MPG highway rating.
It is a straightforward match for someone who wants one EPA fuel figure—30 MPG combined—to set a running-cost expectation.
Trade-offs
All-wheel drive is part of the package, but the EPA fuel split shows a lower 26 MPG city rating than its 38 MPG highway rating. Your driving mix will shape the result.
The car uses gasoline rather than electricity, so there is no EPA electric range or charging figure to weigh. Its annual fuel estimate is $2,750.
Verdict
The 2027 BMW 228 xDrive Gran Coupe is a compact all-wheel-drive car for buyers who want a BMW 2 Series model and a turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine. Its 30 MPG combined rating is the central running number, with a stronger 38 MPG highway result and a lower 26 MPG city result. EPA puts annual fuel at $2,750 and tailpipe CO2 at 289 grams per mile. Compare it with other fuel-efficient cars if fuel spending is your main filter.
