The BMW 5-series GT goes on sale in the United States in December. BMW adds liftback GT to 5-series array

BMW will bring the elevated seating and packaging of an SUV to its 5-series line with the addition of a liftback model called the Grand Turismo or, simply, GT.

The automaker is now revealing the production look for the vehicle, which will debut at this fall's Frankfurt motor show after having been previewed as a concept car at the Geneva show in March. It will go on sale in the United States in December, priced in the low-$70,000s range.

With a prominent kidney grille, the 5-series GT couldn't be mistaken for anything but a BMW. The lower half of the body incorporates a look similar to that of the new 7-series, but above the waistline are clear visual similarities with the X6. Overall, the vehicle is longer, wider and taller than a 5-series and rides on a 7.1-inch-longer wheelbase.
