The 6GT is a BMW that puts comfort and space first, and driving dynamics second. But does it work?
In India, BMW only offers the long wheelbase version of the 7 Series, and because of that there’s a huge price difference between the 5 and the 7. Many customers who are looking for something within that price gap don’t have much to choose from and that’s where the 6GT comes in.
We’ve already driven the 6GT 640i in Portugal at the global press drive, but now we got to drive the 630i here in India where a lot of different variables affect the way the car performs. Right off the bat, I have to say that the 6GT has been developed to keep passenger comfort in mind, and BMW have admitted this themselves.
The 6GT is a lot more elegant and seductive in its design, compared with the bloated and disproportionate 5GT. The 6GT also has a much longer wheelbase and therefore special attention has been placed on cabin space.
COMFORT & LUXURY
When you enter the vehicle, you’re immediately greeted by an airy and open cabin. There’s plenty of space for front passengers, but the luxury feel is accentuated when you sit in the rear seat. There’s plenty of leg and head room. Where the 5 Series is a bit cramped and confined, the 6GT feels like an open-air arena – and quite literally too when you open the panoramic sunroof.
