The new 48V mild-hybrid is part of the update
- Styling turns inward with new equipment.
Along with the updated 5 Series, BMW also revealed the new 6 Series Gran Turismo in a digital reveal today. The 6GT gets similar styling updates as seen with 5 hybrid power trains and added equipment inside the cabin.
In terms of appearance, the updated 6 GT now wears a streamlined headlamp with an L-shaped LED light signature. The grille has been twisted and the front bumper has also got a new design. At the rear, sporty black-out diffusers with integrated trapezoidal exhaust tips are now standard in trims. However, unlike the new 5 with a smoked tail lamp, the tail lamp design in the new 6 GT remains unchanged.
The new alloy wheel designs are also part of the update along with the new paint scheme. On the inside, things remain unchanged, similar to the new 5. You get a new infotainment operating system with added connectivity options.
The new 6 Series GT gets no plug-in hybrid power train option with the update.
However, it comes with a new 48V mild hybrid system as standard with both petrol and diesel engines. Which means that all four engine options - 630 d 640 i, 620d and 630d - now achieve an 8 bhp increase in power output. Other hardware such as active steering, rear-axle or two-axle air suspension, parking assist, cloud-based navigation and more are also updated in the 6GT.
The new and updated 6 Series Gran Tourismo will have a market launch in July. It is expected that India will debut with the new 5 Series facelift by 2020 or sometime next year.
