In today’s competitive market, two-year old cars are considered old. Take the BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo for one, 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.
BMW 6-Series GT Review: Here’s Why You Should Consider The Ugly Duckling
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 (if not all) 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.
