The BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo (2013–16) 318d 5-door is a premium hatchback, offering more cabin and boot space than the 3 Series saloon. It is a practical alternative to an estate or SUV, with a 2.0-litre EU6 diesel and six-speed manual. Designed for comfortable longer journeys, it suits commuters and families needing room for passengers and luggage. The 143bhp engine is aimed at easy, efficient cruising, while Modern trim and professional media bring a well-equipped feel. Its sweeping roof and wide-opening tailgate make it more useful than its shape suggests, and less bulky than an SUV. Compared with an Audi A5 Sportback, it offers familiar 3 Series character in a distinctive, versatile format. Mycarcheck.com has five look-ups across two VINs, a small sample.
