BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo facelift revealed
The Facelift for the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo (GT) has just been announced. Updates from revamped layout increased equipment rates and mechanical upgrades on the 6 Series GT range. BMW also continues to sell a broad variety of diesel and petrol engine options.
Styling updates to the 6 Series GT facelift include a broader version of BMW’s ‘kidney’ grille style, revised front and rear bumpers, and updated headlights and taillights.

The 2.0-liter petrol line-up consists of a 630i, 258hp/400Nm, four-cylinder unit and a 640i, 333hp/450Nm, 3.0-liter, six-cylinder unit while the diesel variants include a 190hp/400Nm, 2.0-liter engine in the 620d, while the 630d engine (tuned to make 286hp and 650Nm torque) and 640d engine (tuned to produce 340hp and 700Nm torque) is available with a 6-cylinder 3.0-liter engine.
In its continuing attempt to electrify its entire range, BMW has also fitted all the above-mentioned engines with a 48V mild-hybrid system. This system is designed to boost fuel efficiency and to provide improved power, it can also add 11hp to the engine outputs for a short period.
The overall interior design remains relatively unchanged, although the facelift includes a larger 12.3 “infotainment system with the latest software from BMW and a new digital instrument cluster. Other features include an automatic climate control system for four zones, electrically adjustable rear seats (optional), a panoramic sunroof, a premium Bowers & Wilkins audio system, and more.
