With the only available 2.0L turbo engine, this sleek beauty manages a combined mpg of 27 – while giving 24 mpg in city driving and 31 on a highway run.

The fuel economy of the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe is leading among all, but it carries the lowest fuel capacity. On the highways, the Audi, Mercedes, and Lexus cover the related mpg number– but combined and city mileage of Audi is further. Despite amassing similar fuel tanks, Mercedes Benz and Lexus achieve comparable fuel economy on highways, and combined–Mercedes manages an additional mpg in cities. The BMW has the best range among all, while the Audi stands behind by showing the lowest mile numbers.

Tough, as a vehicle lower to the ground creates complications to diving in and out. Being a Coupe, the car covers only two doors. Door panels on either side carry material of soft and premium approach and perform interior ambient lighting with it. Door handles are finished in chrome accents with an audio system attached to them. The front-row seats are no doubt comfortable and can easily hold you in long-distance drives, but the passenger seated on the second-row seats asks for more legroom as well as headroom. The steering column is heated by default and its thick design offers a great grip–holds controls banded with chrome.
