The \u201cF74\u201d is essentially a sedan version of the \u201cF70\u201d hatchback, so it was bound to receive the same score.<\/p>\n<p>Euro NCAP says the 2 Series Gran Coupe was held back by its 78% Adult Occupant Protection score, which predictably matched the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/09\/11\/2025-bmw-1-series-euroncap-crash-test\/\">result obtained by the 1 Series<\/a> earlier this year. The four-door sedan also received identical ratings of 85% for Vulnerable Road Users and 80% for Safety Assist. It did manage a slightly higher Child Occupant score, 86% instead of 84%.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, there\u2019s no denying the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/04\/12\/2025-bmw-2-series-gran-coupe-diesel-matte-blue-paint\/\">2 Series Gran Coupe\u2019s<\/a> result is disappointing. Euro NCAP\u2019s biggest crash test of the year involved 23 cars, and only four others received a four-star rating.
