The second generation of the BMW 4 Series consists of the BMW G22 (fastback coupé version) along with the upcoming BMW G23 (convertible version) and BMW G26 (four-door fastback coupé version, marketed as 'Gran Coupé') compact executive cars. The G22 4 Series was launched in June 2020 and succeeds the F32 4 Series.
The G22 will be produced alongside - and shares many features with - the G20 3 Series. As with the G20 3 Series range, the G22/G23/G26 will be powered by turbocharged petrol and diesel engines. Unlike its predecessor, the new 4 Series has a significant departure in design from the 3 Series in order to distinguish between the two models and to move the 4 Series upscale. The most notable of the design changes is the large kidney grille at the front which was inspired by the 1930s BMW 328.
