BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo gets new diesel engine

As from July 2018, a four-cylinder diesel engine will be available for the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo. Under the bonnet of the new BMW 620d Gran Turismo, the 187bhp engine provides for a particularly efficient form of driving pleasure in the model, which was designed for long-distance ride comfort and versatile functionality.

Turbocharging with variable turbine geometry and common rail direct injection constitute the prerequisites for sporty power delivery and a high degree of efficiency on this 2.0-litre engine. Maximum torque of 400Nm is available between 1,750 and 2,500rpm, with maximum power output of 187bhp being achieved at 4,000rpm.

Therefore, the choice of power units available for the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo now totals five engines. In addition to straight six-cylinder diesel engines, a straight six-cylinder petrol engine and a four-cylinder petrol engine will be offered. The new entry-level diesel transfers power with a standard eight-speed Steptronic transmission. All suspension systems available for the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo are also optionally available for the new model variants, including Adaptive Two-Axle Air Suspension, Integral Active Steering and the Executive Drive system with Active Roll Stabilisation.
