It's a coupe. No, it's a full-size sedan. No, it's a station wagon. Yes, what now? It's the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo. This vehicle combines the best of all. Within three years it has become a fixture in the middle class and this is also evident in the various sales markets. Now BMW is clearly sportier with the new model and the engine range of three petrol and five diesel units offers noticeably more power. All are charged by turbo and are up to 14 percent more economical. Inside, the new BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo impresses with its high-quality materials, the new user interface of the Professional navigation system from the luxury class, and an even better connection to smartphones.
With the plus of 200 mm in length compared to the sedan, the GT almost reaches the ranks of the upper-class sedans. This impression is also reinforced by the new design at the front and rear. The new standard LED headlights for dipped and main beam and the LED fog lights are also much more dynamic. The vehicle is visually wider on the road. The rear view is also more powerful with modified LED taillights and sweeping, defined lines. There are also clear changes in the interior: more chrome around the controls in the interior, new decorative wood, colors and leather upholstery increase the quality; Haptics and ergonomics have been improved again. Sportiness paired with the elegance of a coupé, comfort thanks to four doors, a seat position raised by 59 millimeters with an excellent all-round view and a generous impression of space are convincing. In addition, under the large tailgate there is a trunk with a volume of 520 to 1.600 liters and which is very variable.
Sportiness, agility and high cost-effectiveness: that's what makes the new generation of engines in the BMW 3er Gran Turismo. Three completely new petrol engines from 135 kW / 184 PS to 240 kW / 326 PS and five diesel units from 110 kW / 150 PS to 230 kW / 313 PS are available with
Classic BMW xDrive rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, with Steptronic manual or automatic transmission. All four- and six-cylinder petrol engines as well as the four-cylinder diesel come from the newly developed, modular BMW EfficientDynamics engine family. Despite increased performance values, considerable efficiency gains can be achieved: They range from 4,5 percent less consumption and CO2 emissions for the BMW 318d Gran Turismo to 13,8 percent for the BMW 320d Gran Turismo.
