For 2021, the BMW 6 Series GT will undergo minor changes.

While the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo has been withdrawn from the U.S. after 2019, the premium hatchback continues to be sold in other regions and has just received a series of updates.

The updates largely mirror those introduced for the 5 Series, the model related to the 2021 model year, and include revised styling, new infotainment technology, and a mild hybrid powertrain throughout.

There are new fascias at both ends and new headlights with LED matrix technology as standard. The grille is larger and more aggressive on the vehicle, and the optional M Sport package can change the chrome to a gloss black finish.

The big news is that mild hybrid technology is now standard on all models. This is an integrated starter motor and generator that recovers energy when braking or coasting and delivers up to 11 more horsepower under heavy load.

The latest 6 Series GT is available with two gasoline and three diesel engines, depending on the market. The most powerful is an inline 6-cylinder 3.0-liter turbo diesel that delivers 340 hp and 516 ps of torque. 6 Series GT accelerates from a standstill to 62 mph in 5.3 seconds. Top speed is 155 mph.

An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard on all models, and all-wheel drive is standard or available on each model.

In the cabin, BMW has enhanced the quality of materials, with leather trim as standard. The infotainment touchscreen is 12.3 inches, paired with a standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.

The 6 Series GT remains the sole member of the 6 Series family; introduced in 2018 as the successor to the 5 Series GT, it failed to ignite the market as buyers flocked to the SUV, selling only a few thousand units annually in the US. Its long-term fate remains unclear, but the smaller 3 Series GT has already been discontinued, and the 6 Series GT will likely be discontinued as well after its current life cycle ends.
