BMW 6 Series GT Summary

The new 6GT is essentially the ‘Tourer’ version of the 5 Series that scores more on space and practicality. The latest iteration is locally and gets styling updates, added equipment, three powertrain options, and three variants to choose from.

Inside, the cabin layout remains the same as on the older model with the use of two-tone colour for the upholstery. It also gets a dual-screen setup. An infotainment system and a digital instrument cluster both sized 12.3-inch dominate the dashboard apart from other features such as a panoramic sunroof, dimmable ambient lighting, electronically adjustable front seats with memory function, four-zone climate control, hands-free electric tailgate, four Type-C USB slots, wireless smartphone charging, and two 10.25-inch rear entertainment screens. It also boasts of boot space of over 600-litre.

On the outside, the 6 GT appears similar to the earlier model sporting the coupe-like sloping roof flowing down to the boot section. To give it a fresh touch, BMW has tweaked the front and rear bumpers to give it a more aggressive appearance. Even the adaptive LED head lamps are slimmer with a new dual L-shaped DRLs. The vertical slats on the signature kidney grille are now finished in chrome giving it a more premium appeal. It also gets a new design for the split LED tail lamps with graphic design and dual functional exhaust tail pipes.

Under the hood, the 6 Series GT is powered by a set of three engines. A 2.0-litre petrol making 255bhp/400Nm of torque, a 2.0-litre diesel motor with 188bhp/400 Nm of torque and a 3.0-litre diesel motor churning out 262bhp/620Nm torque. The eight-speed automatic transmission is standard across the range.
