The BMW 6 Gran Turismo is special and basically the successor of the not so successful BMW 5 Gran Turismo. It has moved up a number and will be a niche product in the luxury 6 series. It will especially appeal to long-distance drivers and those who treat themselves to such a trip from the back seats of the car. Due to the shape, there is more space for passengers, and as a result, there is also more space for luggage. So everything that the phrase "Gran Turismo" emphasizes.
As they say at BMW, 6 Gran Turismo combines an innovative vehicle concept with the aesthetic touch of a coupe. The result of this combination is, of course, the typical BMW driving pleasure, enormous functionality and luxurious comfort. The dimensions of the car are generous, the length is quite 5.091 mm and width 1.902 mm. The roofline is coupe-style and flows into the rear. There are three independent seats with plenty of legroom, and despite the low line, the rest of the space is above average. In the range of additional equipment, you will even find a package for electrical adjustment the last two seats. The size of the trunk is from 610 until 1.800 liters.
It takes care of driving comfort air suspension on the rear axle, which is already part of the car's standard equipment. For an additional fee, you can consider air suspension on the front beam, dynamic damper control, active stabilization and more. Managing all this complex technology is a breeze as most systems work fully autonomous or by simply pressing a button. All systems can be combined with four-wheel drive BMW xDrive.
BMW iDrive includes 10,25-inch touchscreen display with live content menus, and the voice recognition system will recognize instructions, even in normal conversational language. Of course, management with gestures and a projector Head-Up. Both systems have already been renovated and represent a new generation of interactive technology. The assistance functions that are already at the doorstep have been advanced and renewed autonomous driving. Active cruise control now has a feature Stop&Go, and with this, overcoming force jams will be simplified.
When it arrives on the market, two gasoline and one diesel power unit will be available. The more powerful two will have them built-in as standard 8-speed Steptronic gearbox and xDrive four-wheel drive. The 630i and 640i petrol units will have it 190 kW (258 hp) respectively 250 kW (340 hp) powers. A diesel representative will power it 196 kW (265 hp) powers.
