The BMW Gran Turismo arrives in Singapore

Performance Motors Limited (PML) today unveiled the BMW Gran Turismo in Singapore. A combination of essential features of a prestige sedan, a modern Sports Activity Vehicle, and a classic Gran Turismo, the BMW Gran Turismo is setting fascinating new highlights in the upper mid-range segment as the world’s first model in a brand-new segment.

Stylish and elegant in design, the BMW Gran Turismo comes with coupe-like, stretched and sleek roof line and two-piece tailgate. This unique five-seater, which comes optionally as a four-seater, offers luxurious comfort with its extra-long interior. It further provides a slightly elevated seating position for comfortable and convenient access as well as superior all-round visibility covering all traffic conditions, and truly impressive variability.

As its name alone indicates, the BMW Gran Turismo is ideally suited for a truly wonderful travel experience. The luxurious ambience immediately makes the driver and passengers feel at home, legroom at the rear is the same as in the BMW 7 Series, headroom is equal to that of the BMW X5. The title angle of the rear-seat backrests, in turn, adjusts individually to the respective, personal requirements of the passengers. And with the rear seats moving fore-and-aft up to 100 millimetres, together with the backrests tilting forward completely if required, luggage capacity may be enlarged up to 1,700 litres.

Engines both powerful and efficient, Driving Dynamic Control featured as standard, the most advanced suspension technology, and innovative driver assistance systems, help to ensure a truly unique driving experience.
