BMW globally unveiled the 3 GT facelift a couple of months back. This time around, India being one of its important markets, it has launched the new 3 Series Gran Turismo at Rs 43.30 lakh. The new 2016 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo is offered in three trim levels: 320d Sport Line, 320d Luxury Line, and 330i Luxury Line. Loaded with impressive performance figures, styling and the fact that it has no direct competition for now, it is indeed expected to do well in the Indian market.
BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo is available in one petrol and two diesel variants. The diesel 320d is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that puts out 187bhp of power and 400Nm of torque. While, the top spec petrol 330i is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine which puts out 249bhp of power and 350Nm of torque. The front and the rear section have been revised, thereby making the Gran Turismo appear bigger than the regular version. In terms of dimensions, the GT is about 190mm longer, 79mm taller and about 17mm wider. The new pair of LED headlamps connect to the kidney grille on the front. The bumper houses fog lamps and has been revised for freshness. The rear sports bigger LED tail lamps.
As for the interior, it gets premium leather upholstery as seen in the 3 Series. The GT version comes loaded with electrically adjustable seats, powered sunroof and the iDrive system. The rear sear section offers better legroom and the company claims that it can accommodate around three passengers comfortably. The car comes with a decent 520litres of boot space which can be easily stretched to 1,600litres, all thanks to the 40:20:40 split configuration at the back.
