BMW6 Series Gran Turismo (G32) 2017 - 2020

　　BMW pulled the plug for the 5 Series GT and replaced it with the 6 Series Gran Turismo in 2017 for those willing to have a more spacious vehicle but didn't want an X5.

　　The German automaker shuffled its nameplates, and thus the 5 Series GT was replaced by the 6 Series Gran Turismo (GT), and, at the same time, the 6 Series lineup was replaced by the 8 Series in both Coupe and Gran Coupe (four-door coupe) versions. But regardless of these naming changes, the 6 Series GT proved to be an excellent companion for those who needed to travel long distances comfortably. And it also provided a higher ground clearance than a 7 Series.

　　Even though it was based on the same CLAR (Cluster Architecture) platform as the 5 Series (G30), the 6 Series GT sported a different design. Its headlights were swept-back and slightly raised on the front fenders. Still, the front bumper resembled the one mounted by the automaker on the G30, with a broad grille and side scoops that hosted the LED fog lamps. From its sides, the long roof and the sloped-down tailgate tried to resemble the shape of a coupe, and it did that better than the 5 Series GT. In addition, the frameless doors and the darkened B- and C-posts amplified the look of a long coupe.

　　The interior was extremely spacious, competing with its famous brother, the X5. At the front, the bolstered bucket seats were available with either fabric or quilted leather and multiple electric adjustments. On the instrument panel, the automaker installed digital dials, while the dashboard sported the infotainment screen mounted in a floating position, like in the 5 Series. In the back, there was plenty of room for three occupants, and even electric adjustments for the backseat were offered as an option.

　　BMW chose a wide engine range to power this long-range cruiser, with either gasoline or diesel powerplants paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Power went to the rear or in all corners, depending on the options.
