The BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo is a five-door premium liftback of the full-size category, which combines the characteristic features of an executive sedan, the characteristic Gran Turismo and the now fashionable Sports Activity Vehicle ... The car is addressed to wealthy people (primarily families) who prefer an active lifestyle and are fond of travel ...
The Germans officially demonstrated a large family liftback with an internal plant index "G32" to the world community on June 14, 2017 - the five-door replaced the BMW 5 GT (body index "F07"), however, compared to the "predecessor" it became more beautiful and practical, enlarged in size and received the latest technology.
The exterior of the BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo is "drawn" in the current style of the German brand - the car looks attractive, solid and elegant enough, but from some angles it still demonstrates a bit of disproportion.
The aggressive front of the car is adorned with frowning LED headlights, grille "nostrils" and a sculpted bumper, while its powerful rear flaunts stylish lights and a pair of "curly" exhaust pipes integrated into the bumper.
Thanks to the long bonnet, the embossed side surfaces and the sloping roofline that "flows" into the barely noticeable "branch" of the trunk, the liftback, even with its impressive dimensions, has a graceful and dynamic profile, almost completely devoid of weight, the elegance of which is added by frameless glass.
The Gran Turismo "Six" is a full-size liftback with corresponding external dimensions: 5091 mm in length, 1538 mm in height and 1902 mm in width. The center distance of the "Bavarian" has a 3070 mm gap, and the ground clearance is 138 mm. Depending on the modification, the curb weight of the car varies from 1795 to 1955 kg.
Inside, the BMW 6 GT greets its riders with a noble and cozy atmosphere, while its design traces lightness, refinement, elegance and German perfection. In addition, the high status of the model is underlined by impeccable ergonomics, excellent workmanship and generous finishes in natural leather, aluminum and wood.
Directly in front of the driver - a multifunctional steering wheel of optimal dimensions and a laconic "toolbox" (as an option - completely virtual). The solid-looking center console flaunts the huge infotainment display and the family's climate and music controls.
The front seats of the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo are not only a comfortable profile with well-defined sidewalls, but also comprehensive electric adjustment and heating ranges, and for an extra charge, ventilation and massage function.
The second row of seats is able to please even the most capricious passengers - here you can observe both a comfortable sofa and a solid supply of free space.
With practicality, the "premium five-door" is in complete order - its trunk has not only the correct shape, but also an impressive volume of 610 liters. The rear sofa folds down in three sections (in the ratio "40:20:40"), as a result of which a completely flat area is formed, and the capacity increases to 1800 liters.
For the Russian market, the BMW 6-Series GT liftback is offered in four modifications, each of which is equipped with an 8-band "automatic" (the basic petrol version has a rear-wheel drive transmission, and the rest - the xDrive all-wheel drive technology, which by default distributes power in a ratio of "40:60 »In favor of the rear axis):
