2021 BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo launched

By CARSIFU | 27 May 2020


MUNICH: The new BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo comes in five variants (two petrol and three diesel units), all fitted with 48V mild hybrid technology.

All engines team up with an eight-speed Steptronic transmission as standard.

Fitting a powerful 48V starter-generator and an extra battery allows a high level of braking energy recuperation and storage, which is used to supply the 12V electrical system, ease the combustion engine’s workload and give it an extra injection of power.

Fitted as standard are a fully digital instrument cluster and Control Display – each with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches, and new full-LED headlights including adaptive cornering function and the BMW Selective Beam non-dazzling High-beam Assistant with matrix technology.

The outer daytime driving lights now also perform the role of turn indicators. The cornering light and high beam are proactively adjusted using GPS.

Also standard are front powered adjustable seats and Dakota leather upholstery, and rear-axle air suspension.

Load compartment capacity can be increased from 600 litres to a maximum 1,800 litres, as required.

Another option is adaptive two-axle air suspension with electronically controlled dampers, which enables ride height to be adjusted manually.

The market launch of the new BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo will begin in July 2020.

It will be built at BMW Plant Dingolfing, alongside models including the BMW 7 Series luxury sedan and BMW 8 Series luxury sports car.
