BMW unveils new 5 series concept
20/02/09 09:31 Filed in: News
This is the new BMW Concept 5 Series Gran Turismo which is to be shown at the Geneva Motor Show.
The smart money says that this is more than a concept and that BMW is committed to producing this model. Although has coupé looks, it proves that looks can be deceptive. Driver and passengers are said to sit fairly high, giving good space inside.
Unusually for BMW, this is a hatchback but it has borrowed the idea of a dual tailgate from the Skoda Superb. You can either open just the lower part of the tailgate, like a saloon boot, or raise the whole tailgate, like a hatchback.
The appeal is likely to be for families who want the extra practicality and space and also for older buyers, some of whom may have difficulty getting in and out of lower slung saloons.
