BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo which has been in production since 2017 and is now in for a mid-cycle
refresh. Previous spotted prototypes kept hiding their grilles behind plastic
cladding and vinyl stickers, yet the latest batch of spy shots shows the new
face, complete with a slightly larger grille, slimmer headlamps and revised
bumper. The taillights seem to be unchanged from the outgoing iteration,
though, yet the rear bumper has been modified.
On the inside, the facelifted
6-Series GT will continue to mimic the look of the 5-Series – after all, it
used to be named the 5-Series GT before BMW decided to rename it. Thus there
won’t be many visual differences compared to the current model, but we do
expect it to introduce a few technical changes, such as a larger touchscreen
display for the latest infotainment system and perhaps updated digital dials
alongside new trim and upholsteries.
Most of the engine
lineup will carry over from the facelifted 5-Series. The latter is thought to
add particulate filters to the petrol units, and to electrify others. The 620d
might launch with a mild-hybrid system, which will improve fuel consumption and
performance, and a plug-in hybrid powertrain should complete the lineup.
We will find out more about what to
expect when the 5-Series gets presented, before the end of 2019 or in early
2020. The updated 6-Series GT should follow it shortly.
