The presentation of the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe sees BMW venturing into a new vehicle segment once again. The third model in the BMW 6 Series line-up follows in the tyre tracks of the Convertible and Coupe, and is the first four-door Coupe in the history of the brand. The athletic elegance of the car’s design makes it a particularly handsome addition to the range. Powerful engines and sophisticated chassis technology combine to produce an impressively dynamic driving experience. And the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe also makes its mark with exclusive equipment features and a level of practicality unmatched by its premium four-door Coupe rivals.

The design: athletic elegance and an exclusive aura.
The BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe integrates the stand-out looks and
dynamics of a Coupe into a fresh new model with a fascinating
character all of its own. The hallmark proportions of a BMW are
reproduced in an unusually low-slung, sporty package given the car’s
four-door construction. And they are defined by a fresh interpretation
of the three-box design: a sweeping, powerfully contoured bonnet, a
long wheelbase – giving the car an elegantly stretched appearance –
and a set-back passenger compartment. In addition, its low height and
a roof line that flows in a shallow arc into the rear allow the
BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe to set a new aesthetic benchmark for
four-door cars.
The design of the interior creates a harmonious link between the front seats and the rear, and embodies the perfect combination of elegance and dynamics. The driver-focused cockpit, front passenger area bordered by elegantly sweeping surfaces and generously sized rear compartment combine joy in the car’s dynamic potential with travel comfort amid a stylish and luxurious ambience. The BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe comes with 4+1 seats, while a 113-millimetre longer wheelbase than the BMW 6 Series Coupe allows it to offer a noticeable increase in legroom for the rear passengers. Plus, a through-loading facility and folding rear seat backrests give a further boost to practicality and increase boot capacity from 460 litres to 1,265 litres.
