The BMW 3 Series GT stands out as a refined blend of luxury, space, and dynamic performance. Designed for those who crave comfort without losing the essence of a sporty drive, the GT offers a more spacious and practical alternative to the standard 3 Series. Here’s an in-depth look at its design, performance, efficiency, and technology highlights.
The BMW 3 Series GT measures approximately 4,824 mm in length, 1,828 mm in width, and 1,508 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,920 mm — significantly longer than the standard 3 Series. Boot space stands at a generous 520 litres, expandable via split-folding rear seats. Its aerodynamic fastback design enhances both efficiency and aesthetics, while the power-operated tailgate adds convenience.
The BMW 3 Series GT engine lineup includes a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol (330i) producing around 252 hp and 350 Nm, and a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel (320d) generating 190 hp and 400 Nm. Both engines use an 8-speed automatic transmission. Power delivery is linear, with the petrol variant being particularly lively and the diesel excelling in efficiency and torque-rich cruising.
The BMW 3 Series GT mileage ranges from around 13–15 km/l for petrol and 18–20 km/l for diesel, depending on traffic and driving conditions. The GT’s relaxed engine tuning and highway gearing make it one of the most fuel-efficient touring sedans in its class.
The BMW 3 Series GT interior offers a driver-focused layout with luxury detailing. Key features include an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, BMW iDrive controller, Apple CarPlay, ambient lighting, three-zone climate control, and a Harman Kardon audio setup. The spacious rear bench and adjustable backrests make it perfect for long journeys.
Safety features in the BMW 3 Series GT include 6 airbags, ABS, dynamic stability control, traction control, cornering brake control, and electronic differential lock. Additional driver aids such as park assist, rain-sensing wipers, and automatic headlamps further improve usability and peace of mind.
