BMW 6GT 620d launched

On sale just in the Luxury Line trim, the 620d comes fully loaded in terms of features. The 620d gets its firepower from a 2.0-litre heart that pushes out 188bhp and 400Nm

BMW introduced the 6 Series Gran Turismo at the Auto Expo last year. Subsequently, in June, the company launched a diesel version with a 3.0-litre motor. The Munich-based carmaker has now introduced a new 620d trim with a 2.0-litre heart. It is priced at Rs 63.90 lakh – same as the 630i.

Speaking about the launch, Dr. Hans-Christian Baertels, President (act.), BMW Group India, said, “With the launch of the first-ever BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo, we created a new segment in the Indian luxury car market. Its distinctive vehicle concept, which fuses the long-distance comfort of a luxury sedan and modern functionality in an alluring coupé style, has proven to be an instant hit in this class and has become a trend-setter. The BMW 620d Gran Turismo featuring an exceptionally efficient entry-level diesel engine further strengthens the portfolio of the first-ever BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo.”

The 620d Gran Turismo will look identical to the other variants except, of course, the badging on the boot lid. This means it comes with the same kidney grille, adaptive LED headlights, frameless doors, and the Active rear spoiler. Other features in the car include two colour screens for the passengers at the back with a BluRay Player, HDMI connection and more. The car gets leather upholstery, leather wrapped upholstery, ambient lighting and a two-part panoramic sunroof.

The 6 Series 620d GT develops 188bhp and 400Nm, and comes paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. BMW claims that the car does the 0-100km/h dash in just 7.9 seconds. The 6GT gets multiple drive modes – Sport, Comfort, Comfort+ EcoPro and Adaptive.
