BMW is one of those carmakers known for filling all sorts of niches in its range, from the X2, X4, and X6 crossovers, to their latest introduction, the 6-Series GT.
Despite adopting the 6-Series badge instead of its predecessor’s 5-Series tag, the Gran Turismo is basically a 5-Series with a liftback and a sloping roof that bridges the gap between the sedan and the Touring (estate).
However, there’s more than meets the eye, according to CarBuyer’s review, which found that there are a few more differences between the two cars, such as the slightly taller driving position in the GT, and the more relaxed feel on the open road.
Space in the rear seats is very good, as these have been positioned lower than in the regular 5-Series, so the sloping roofline won’t affect the headroom, and legroom is very generous as well.
Additionally, the standard equipment list is great, as buyers get sat-nav, Apple CarPlay, cruise control, reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors, rear air suspension, and adaptive LED headlights at no extra cost. Be careful, though, when checking out the options list, because, aside from the full air suspension, which is a must-have, other non-necessary features can bump the price to dizzying heights.
In Britain, BMW is offering SE and M Sport versions of the 630i, 640i and 630d. The base offering can be had from £46,810 ($66,058) OTR, whereas the 630d xDrive M Sport will set you back for £56,605 ($79,880), which is very similar to a new X5, which ranges between £48,140 ($67,935) and £69,220 ($97,683).
