There is the F52 1 Series Sedan sold in China and some other regions, but BMW has decided not to bring it to the US.
The 2 Series Gran Coupe name is consistent with the 4 Series, former 6 Series, and upcoming 8 Series Gran Coupes. I think consistency is good. It would perhaps be more obvious to the consumer what the strategy is if the 1 Series sedan were also sold here, but that doesn't seem likely to ever happen, even as Mercedes plans to sell a new A Class sedan along side the new second generation CLA "four door coupe" in the US and other regions.
