据外媒报道,宝马计划推出6系Gran Tourer。宝马将于2017年，也就是新一代5系发布一年之后推出新一代6系，而新车除了通常的轿跑车、敞篷车和GranCoupe四门轿跑车之外，车型阵容还将进一步扩大，将增加一款集实用性和豪华性于一身的Gran Tourer版本。虽然该车在设计上将受到四门轿跑车影响，但将配备电控尾门，行驶高度进一步降低，同时不配备车顶行李架。作为奔驰CLS Shooting Brake的竞争车型，2017款6系Gran Tourer将更追求时尚，当然价格也比下一代5系Gran Tourer更高。预计下一代5系和6系车将进一步瘦身，重量将降低100公斤。动力系统包括各种四缸、六缸和八缸引擎。虽然一直有传言称宝马计划为新车提供三缸引擎，但考虑到很多潜在消费者并不希望看到这么大一辆车搭载如此小的引擎，因此宝马并未做出最终决定。

 

BMW 6-Series Gran Tourer planned for 2017

A report issued by Automobile Magazine says BMW is planning a 6-Series Gran Tourer.

 

The next generation 6-Series is expected to come out sometime in 2017 - a year after the all-new 5-Series - and besides the usual Coupe, Convertible and GranCoupe derivatives it will allegedly spawn a more practical yet equally luxurious Gran Tourer variant. Its design will be influenced by the GranCoupe but with a more inclined electrically operated tailgate, a lowered ride height and without roof rails.

 

Going up against the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake, the 2017 BMW 6-Series Gran Tourer will be a more stylish and pricier alternative to the next-gen 5-Series Touring. Expect the next-gen 5- and 6-Series to go on a considerable diet estimated at 100 kg (220 lbs) while the engine lineup will encompass a variety of four-, six- and eight-cylinder units. There are also talks of a three-cylinder engines but BMW still hasn't made up it is mind since many potential customers would be reluctant to see such a small engine in a big car.
