Our friends at BMWblog attended the early reveal of the 2009 BMW 5-Series GT Concept prior to its official debut in Geneva. Thankfully Bangle finally moved aside so we can show the new design.
What we’ve been referring to as the
Progressive Activity Sedan has now been revealed as the
BMW 5-Series GT Concept prior to the 2009
Geneva Motor Show. It blends the styling characteristics of the
2009 7-series and the
CS Concept that made its debut in Shanghai two years ago.
The wheelbase is close to the 2009 7-series sedan’s 120.9 inches allowing for an extremely roomy interior space with a large capacity rear cargo area. The kidney grille up front shares the proportions of the 7 series along with the shape of the tail lamps. The headlights take more than just a little influence from the now canceled CS Concept. The coupe-like roof line finishes off in a hatchback-style trunk area with a pretty neat closure. The full hatch opens to reveal a large cargo area, but a secondary smaller tailgate opens to reveal a convenient pass through for smaller items.
We’ll bring you more information as it becomes available. Stay tuned for the latest in the 2009
5-Series GT Concept saga a.k.a. the biggest elephant in the room.
