2014 BMW 320D GT review – The tourer you have been waiting for

When you see the car, its fresh lines lure you to take a peek inside.

The rear legroom puts a 5 series to shame.

Step into the backseat and you are welcomed by a sea of space, to put it in perspective even after adjusting the drivers seat to my height of 6.1” I was comfortable in the back seat with leg room to spare. The atmosphere feels airy with the increased headroom and the beautiful panoramic sunroof. The backseat has three headrests but the middle seat is practically redundant with the tall transmission tunnel.

The earth loving ECO Pro mode is ideal for city traffic but does make the car extra sluggish as the acceleration, gear shifts and even the air-conditioning is toned down for maximum fuel efficiency.

The Comfort mode is which brings out the best in the 3GT. The suspension is softer the steering feels lighter and the throttle response feels ideal for just about everything be it driving in peak city traffic or cruising on an inviting highway. The large size and the weight do deliver their share of noticeable body roll.

Switch to Sport Mode and the difference can be felt in a jiffy, the steering becomes heavier and more responsive, suspension becomes stiffer and the throttle delivers an increased flow of torque. It was a delight switching between Comfort and Sport mode for smooth cruising with some quick overtaking.

The single biggest disappointment we had with this otherwise perfect car is the lack of cruise control.

Let alone the Mercedes C Class and the Audi A4, Cruise control is now an integral part of the Honda’s and Hyundai’s of the worlds as well, why would BMW omit out this crucial feature along with a GPS in a car specifically meant for long hauls leaves us in amazement. With the increase in mobile coverage across the country the lack of a GPS can be overlooked but not Cruise control.

Adding to the comfort is the 208 watt 9 speaker HiFi system delivering clear sound from the CD player or a Bluetooth / USB source. Coming to convenience and safety the car comes with rear view camera, front and rear park distance control sensors, auto headlights, six airbags, ABS, Cornering brake control, Dynamic stability control and run flat tyres.

The luxe factor is

Bmw 3 series gt (2013 – 2020) review.

BMW 3 Series GT (2013 – 2020) At A Glance

The BMW 3 Series GT is another spin-off of the 3 Series saloon, and is designed to compete with other premium hatchback-cum-coupes like the Audi A5 Sportback and the Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake.

First introduced in 2013 and sold until 2019, it mixed a longer wheelbase with a hatchback rear to not only offer more boot space than the 3 Series Touring but also increased rear legroom. With the same drivetrains it offers similar performance and handing to its siblings, although whether the looks carry the same appeal is a matter of personal opinion.

The 3 Series Gran Turismo is a stylish hatch version of the 3 Series and sits above the saloon and Touring models in the range. It will appeal to buyers who need more practicality than a standard four-door 3 Series and is a strong alternative to the Audi A5 Sportback. It's an interesting design and while not as svelte as the standard 3 Series, it's certainly better looking than the larger 5 Series GT.

As well as a longer and taller body, the 3 Series GT also has a longer wheelbase than the standard car which means better interior space, particularly for rear seat passengers.

The fact it's a hatchback means a big boost for practicality so although the 520-litre boot is only 25 litres bigger than the Touring, the load space will be easier to access. All models come with an electrically opening tailgate and 40/20/40 split folding rear seats. If you can’t stomach the idea of owning an estate but still want the most amount of space, the GT does at least give you one without the other.

The 3 Series is also the first BMW to come with an active spoiler which raises at 68mph to reduce drag and increase downforce. Other nice details like the electric tailgate and frameless doors help make it feel more special than a standard 3 Series, and while it’s hard to see it as a coupe, it does has a different style that.

At launch there were three petrol engines and two diesel with either a six-speed manual or optional eight-speed automatic gearbox, while later versions added additional high performance engine options. 

The big difference over a 3 Series saloon is the ride. The GT is noticeably softer on the move and offers better long distance comfort thanks to tweaked suspension settings. It certainly lives up to its 'Grand Tourer' name and is very comfortable at motorway speeds with minimal noise.

This does somewhat come at the expense of handling though as the GT doesn't feel as agile as a standard 3 Series, and for many buyers this somewhat goes against one of the key appeals of buying a BMW in the first place.

When new, the GT cost between £1300 and £1,600 more than a 3 Series Touring. That seems odd to us considering the 3 Series Touring is already a great family car. True, the GT does have plenty of style about it but seems expensive for what it is.

Reviews for BMW 3 Series GT (2013 – 2020)'s top 3 rivals

Ask Honest John

Does my bmw 3 series have a serious suspension fault, replacement for our bmw 320d touring, which economical suv do you recommend to replace my jeep grand cherokee, inside of the bmw 3 series gt (2013 – 2020).

• Boot space is 520–1600 litres
• Euro NCAP rating of five stars

BMW 3 Series GT (2013 – 2020): Practicality

The biggest difference between the 3 GT and its siblings is for rear passengers, who get more legroom with an extra 75mm and a generally more roomy feeling.

While the rear of a 3 Series saloon can feel a little cramped, especially if you're over six feet tall, the GT has a more limousine feel akin to a 5 Series and helped by the very comfortable seats. Whether in the front or back, you sit higher than in a 3 Series saloon which means a better view out. It's also easier to get in and out of.

All GT models come with an electric tailgate as standard and the tailgate opens to reveal a very practical and useful boot space. It can carry 520 litres of luggage which is 40 litres more than an Audi A5 Sportback and impressively more than a 3 Series Touring. There's a 12v socket in the boot (handy if you have a powered coolbox) and a multifunction storage tray under the load compartment floor.

BMW 3 Series GT (2013 – 2020): Quality and finish

The switches and controls feel solidly built too, although there are a few areas where some evidence of penny-pinching can be found - the smaller buttons on the dashboard feel a little flimsy, but overall it’s a good cabin, if a fraction behind what you’ll get from the equivalent Audi.

There are lots of soft-touch surfaces dotted around the cabin and the steering wheel and arm rests are thickly padded. Higher-specification versions also offer wood trim, although this might not suit all types of buyers.

BMW 3 Series GT (2013 – 2020): Infotainment

As standard the 3 GT gets a 6.5-inch infotainment screen, controlled via the i-Drive system, with some functions repeated on the dashboard and steering wheel.

The system also includes Bluetooth, USB input and a radio. DAB was optional at launch but was included as standard from 2016 cars onwards while sat nav was optional then standard on the latest models. With most BMWs sharing the same systems you can be confident that the 3 GT’s infotainment is easy to use and packed with features - the iDrive system is one of the most intuitive on the market.

Bmw 3 series gt (2013 – 2020): prices.

It’s important to note that the 3 GT was far less popular than the saloon and Touring 3 Series models, so there are fewer examples on the used market in comparison.

However, there is still six years’ worth of sales to potentially pick from. A quick search of the classified ads turned up a smart 2019 320d xDrive M Sport, with automatic transmission and under 150 miles on the clock for just over £30,000, with plenty of similar examples - the 320d in M Sport trim is one of the most popular specifications.

At the cheap end of the scale the earliest cars are now very affordable. We found an early 2014 318d in SE specification with 65,000 miles for under £10,000, or a petrol 328i Luxury automatic from 2013 with 60,000 miles for £11,000.

BMW 3 Series GT (2013 – 2020): Running Costs

It’s not a small car, but it does benefit from typically efficient BMW engines. The 318d isn’t quick but has a claimed official 64mpg combined with the auto gearbox option, while the 320d claims between 57mpg and 63mpg depending on specification and gearbox, so you should get close to 50mpg in the real world.

Unsurprisingly the big 3.0-litre petrols are clearly the thirstiest. A 335i manual claims a best performance of 42mpg, so you can expect around the 30mpg mark regularly and a lot less if you use the performance.

The same logic applies when it comes to insurance costs too, with the lower spec models potentially offering reasonable insurance costs. The 318d in M Sport trim is in group 23, while the 320d is group 24 in SE spec but goes up to 29 for other specifications.

Because the 2.0-litre petrol is available in two power outputs, 320i and 328i GTs also vary considerably. An SE model is group 28 or 35, 28 and 26 for Modern spec and above. 330d and 335d models attract the highest premiums - the later goes into group 42 out of 50.

Driving BMW 3 Series GT (2013 – 2020)

• Engines range from 318d to 340i Automatic
• Readers report Real MPG to be between 23–64 mpg

BMW 3 Series GT (2013 – 2020): Handling and ride quality

The cost of this better ride is with handling, as the longer and taller body becomes a negative. It’s still a good car to drive in this respect, with accurate and responsive steering.

What is more apparent though is that it doesn’t turn as keenly as other 3 Series models, and there is a little bit more body roll because of the extra height in the body. Whether this altered balance of ride and handling matters is largely down to personal preference, although the short of it is that the saloon and Touring are better to drive.

It uses the same chassis albeit with a longer wheelbase and while it's fitted with similar suspension, it has a more forgiving damper set-up. The result is a smoother ride over rough surfaces and a more refined motorway experience.

BMW 3 Series GT (2013 – 2020): Engines

Typically the 2.0-litre diesel option is the strongest all-rounder in the GT, which comes in two outputs in the 318d and the 320d - the former has 143PS and offers acceptable performance but nothing more, while the 320d has 184PS, is noticeably quicker and offers almost identical fuel consumption too, so there’s not a great deal to be gained by going for the 318d.

The 320i and 328i also both powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre unit with 184PS and 245PS respectively. Both are relatively refined and offer useful performance, but the 320i will be a better compromise for most people, offering enough acceleration without painful fuel consumption.

If you can stretch to it, the 330d and 335d are the most attractive diesel options, with 257PS and 313PS respectively and the choice of xDrive four-wheel-drive too.

At the top of the range the 335i and later 340i models are the fastest, with turbocharged six cylinder engines, but require the biggest budgets to keep them fuelled.

BMW 3 Series GT (2013 – 2020): Safety

Euro NCAP did not specifically test the 3 Series GT model, but instead applied the same results recorded by the 3 Series saloon to all models under the 3 Series tag. The 3 GT is based on the 3 Series tested by Euro NCAP in 2012, which was awarded the maximum five stars.

It was awarded an exceptional 95 per cent for adult protection, as well as a high 84 per cent for child protection. Pedestrian mitigation was an impressive 78 per cent, while it also recorded a high score of 84 per cent for safety assist.

Also on the options list when new were features like active cruise control and automatic emergency braking, but because they were optional rather than standard you may have to search to find a vehicle with these systems fitted. Broadly speaking, safety options are less popular than luxury features when buyers are choosing their new car, so it may be a challenge to find a car in this spec.

BMW 3 Series GT (2013 – 2020): Towing

With a range of powertrains and the option of four-wheel-drive, the 3 Series GT can make an excellent towing car. The 320i has the lowest towing capacity at 695kg unbraked (750kg with xDrive) and up to 1600kg braked, while the rest of the range offers either 745kg or 750kg unbraked and anything between 1600kg and 1800kg braked.

BMW 3 Series GT (2013 – 2020) Models and Specs

Standard specification on all 3 GT models is generous. The basic SE model gets 18-inch alloy wheels, two-zone air-conditioning, Bluetooth, USB port, 6.5-inch colour screen with iDrive Controller, Drive Performance Control with ECO PRO mode, two-part parcel shelf, automatic tailgate, active rear spoiler and rear Park Distance Control.

Modern trim adds matt chrome exterior details, 18-inch turbine-style alloy wheels, a light-finished interior with cloth and leather mix trim and pearl-effect chrome interior detailing.

Move up to Luxury trim and it’s mostly visual upgrades, with gloss chrome exterior details, special 18-inch alloy wheels, chrome interior details, high-gloss wood strips and leather seats.

Top-spec M Sport adds an aerodynamic exterior package with high-gloss trim, 18-inch star-spoke alloy wheels, an M Sport leather steering wheel, sports front seats, M Sport suspension and brakes.

• February 2013: BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo launched
• February 2014: Three new engines added to 3 Series GT range
• May 2016: BMW 3 Series benefits from latest iDrive interface
• July 2018: New eight-speed automatic for 3 Series Gran Turismo

February 2013

Bmw 3 series gran turismo launched.

Benefiting from a longer and taller body, and an increased wheelbase, the new BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo offers increased interior space and load area volume from within a sporty, coupé-like form. At launch, three petrol engines and two diesel engines are available, with a choice of either six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic gearboxes.

Thanks to the adoption of the latest aerodynamic thinking, in conjunction with BMW's EfficientDynamics measures, including for the first time on a BMW an active rear spoiler, the new 3 Series Gran Turismo is superbly efficient without compromising any of its driver appeal. Despite its extended functionality, the new BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo typically carries a £1,300 price premium over the Touring model, starting with the 320i SE at £27,880 OTR.

February 2014

Three new engines added to 3 series gt range.

The BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo from March 2014 comes with the choice of three additional engines in the range; 330d, 330d xDrive and 335d xDrive.

The 330d engine utilises the BMW TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder in-line diesel engine and comes with Sport automatic transmission as standard. This new engine derivative is available in SE, Luxury or M Sport trim levels. With a choice of rear-wheel-drive or xDrive models to choose from, the 330d offers 258hp and 560Nm of torque, while emitting just 135g/km CO2while still returning 55.4mpg in rear-wheel-drive.

The BMW 335d xDrive also uses the BMW TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder in-line diesel engine, featuring common-rail direct injection and variable twin turbo technology, to deliver 313hp and 600Nm of torque. This performance combines with a suite of EfficientDynamics technologies to deliver CO2emissions of just 148g/km and a combined mpg figure of 50.4mpg.

The BMW 330d is available from £37,000 OTR for a 330d SE Gran Turismo, the 330d xDrive Gran Turismo starts at £38,515 OTR for an SE and the 335d xDrive Gran Turismo is available from £43,415 OTR for a Luxury model.

BMW 3 Series benefits from latest iDrive interface

Incorporated into the BMW Professional media system, the latest iDrive interface and enhanced connectivity provides a simpler menu navigation requiring fewer clicks to move between key sections such as map view, messages, entertainment and media and an increase in RAM to improve performance. This new system also allows the wireless integration of selected third party applications from a compatible mobile device.

In addition to the already standard Bluetooth connectivity this can be further enhanced by opting for the new Enhanced Bluetooth which alongside the upgraded BMW Professional Navigation system now includes Wireless Charging, WiFi Hotspot preparation and an additional USB socket. The new Enhanced Bluetooth with Wireless Charging is offered as standard on all BMW 6 Series and 7 Series models as well as the M3, M4, X5M and X6M.

Accessing a library of over 30 million tracks available to stream at any time as part of BMW Online Entertainment is now even easier thanks to the new Connected Music feature. This introduces the additional option, when listening to the radio, of recognising the track, artist or album. The listener can then search for and stream other music by that artist or music of the same genre.

BMW 320d EfficientDynamics

We drive the eco-special 3 series - are the efficiency gains are worth the compromises on options and power.

5.0 out of 5

Priced identically to the 320d SE, the BMW 3 Series ED will be the pick of the range for those doing high mileages. If you want sporty alloys, you’ll have to go for the regular 320d, while the gains in efficiency over the standard model are marginal. But they add up to lower fuel and tax bills, plus there’s the bonus that the ED drives as well as any 3 Series.

This is the most efficient BMW 3 Series yet. The new EfficientDynamics model builds on the success of its predecessor, which was the biggest-selling 3 Series. Like that car, it’s based on the 320d, but boasts even better fuel economy and CO2 emissions. It’s exactly the same price as the 320d SE, too. So is there a catch?

Outside, there’s very little to distinguish the EfficientDynamics from other 3 Series trims. It does come with unique 16-inch alloys, wearing low-rolling-resistance tyres, whereas the SE features sportier 17-inch wheels.

Video: Watch CarBuyer's video review of the new 3 Series

[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"content_narrow","fid":"68815","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image"}}]]

Yet unlike other models in the line-up, there’s no option to upgrade to bigger wheels. Also, the EfficientDynamics cannot be specified in M Sport trim. Inside, the ED is identical to the 3 Series SE, which means no standard leather trim.

Otherwise, there’s enough kit, including parking sensors, cruise and climate control, Bluetooth, plus automatic lights and wipers.

There’s a leather-trimmed steering wheel as well. Overall, the cabin is quite attractive, with metal highlights, and as in other new 3 Series, it’s more spacious than before.

The EfficientDynamics model rides better than the standard car, too, thanks to the high sidewalls of its 16-inch tyres: it really does glide over most surfaces. Only ridges that span the width of the road catch it out.

Road noise is low, yet the diesel engine is always vocal, which detracts from the luxury-car feel. As ever, the 3 Series loves a twisty road, and that doesn’t change in this eco special. It has great body control and superb agility.

BMW’s familiar slick six-speed manual gearbox is standard, but the gearing has been tweaked to enhance economy. The ECO PRO driving mode increases the efficiency of the air-con system and dulls throttle response a little.

It works well – so well that you often find yourself changing up earlier than you’d expect. You can also select Sport mode, which sharpens up the throttle and steering for when the mood takes you.

In contrast with the previous generation of EfficientDynamics 3 Series, the new car can be specified with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which operates smoothly.

BMW claims the manual will return average fuel economy of 68.9mpg and emit only 109g/km of CO2. However, the standard 320d claims 61.4mpg and 120g/km, yet is 20bhp more powerful.

The 320d EfficientDynamics will save a 40 per cent taxpayer £674 a year – that’s £56 a month – in tax. And in everyday driving, the reduced power of the ED isn’t noticeable, as it produces the same amount of torque as the SE. On paper, it is slower, but the difference is marginal in the real world.

For high-mileage company-car drivers – and even some private buyers who prioritise efficiency – the ED will be a no-brainer. For others, the standard 320d is a perfectly economical and capable all-rounder that can be ordered in more desirable M Sport trim.

2019 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo Review

See Edmunds pricing data

Has Your Car's Value Changed?

Used car values are constantly changing. Edmunds lets you track your vehicle's value over time so you can decide when to sell or trade in.

Edmunds' Expert Review

• Offers massive utility compared to a similarly sized luxury sedan
• More rear legroom than the regular 3 Series
• Strong and fuel-efficient engines
• All-wheel drive is standard
• Doesn't possess the 2019 3 Series sedans' many updates
• Fewer packages and options than past model years
• Less cargo volume than a wagon or a small SUV
• Outward visibility could be better

What's new

• Several accident avoidance technologies are now standard
• One-year trial subscription to Apple CarPlay now available
• Part of the sixth 3 Series generation introduced for 2011. Note: The 2019 3 Series sedan belongs to the seventh generation.

Unlike its sedan sibling, the 2019 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo does not benefit from a complete redesign. As such, it doesn't have BMW's latest infotainment system, updated engines, and various mechanical and design enhancements that you'll find in the regular 3 Series sedan. However, it's not like there was much wrong with the 3 Series Gran Turismo that needed changing.

Cost to Drive Cost to drive estimates for the 2019 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo 330i xDrive 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.30 per gallon for premium unleaded in North Dakota.

In fact, the ways in which it was superior to the sedan in prior years still apply. Its back seat and cargo area remain considerably bigger thanks to its unique long-wheelbase hatchback body style. So if you're looking for something that'll be more practical than a sedan but don't want an SUV or wagon, this could be the "something different" you're looking for.

And even if you aren't specifically looking for something different, the Gran Turismo could end up being better suited to your needs than any number of other four-door luxury conveyances. That includes a multitude of other BMWs, from the X1 and X3 compact SUVs to the 3 Series sedan and the 4 Series Gran Coupe, which is basically a 3 Series Gran Turismo that subtracts some practicality for better looks.

Otherwise, you're looking at the same positive attributes inherent to almost every BMW: well-balanced ride and handling, exceptional engines, strong build quality and a comfortable cabin. Standard equipment is also quite generous, especially given the addition of accident avoidance technologies for 2019.

However, if there's one major downside, it's that your choice in options is more limited than in the past. Specifically, BMW's new "Tier" format for packages makes it harder to get extras you want without also making you get things you don't. For instance, if you want upgraded LED headlights, you have to get the Executive Tier and therefore the Convenience Tier and Premium Tier as well. The price then skyrockets accordingly. But when has a BMW ever been a value purchase? The often-overlooked 3 Series Gran Turismo is a smart pick.
