BMW 6 Series GT Safety
NHTSA safety across every BMW 6 Series GT model year we cover.
Across the 2 model years of the BMW 6 Series GT we cover (2019 to 2020), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. No recalls are on record across those years.
The BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo is a large, four-door fastback that blends sedan comfort with a lifted ride height and hatchback practicality. Positioned above the 5 Series and aimed squarely at premium long-distance travelers who want executive refinement without committing to a full luxury sedan, it occupies a distinctive and narrow slice of the market for model years 2019 and 2020.
The 2019 and 2020 BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo lacks federal crash-test ratings, leaving a significant gap in its safety profile. Neither model year received an overall NHTSA star rating, nor were individual crash categories assessed. This absence means a calculated Safety Index score cannot be provided for this vehicle. Despite the untested structural safety, its record for recalls and owner complaints is exceptionally clean. BMW issued zero recalls for the 6 Series Gran Turismo across both 2019 and 2020 model years. Furthermore, NHTSA received only two owner complaints for these models, with zero reported crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths. While the presence of active safety technology is noted, its effectiveness in a collision remains unverified by independent federal testing. Buyers prioritizing a comprehensive safety assessment based on federal data will find this model’s record incomplete.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally praise the 6 Series Gran Turismo for its supple, long-haul ride comfort and composed highway driving dynamics. Interior refinement and material quality are frequently highlighted as class-competitive strengths. Some reviewers note that the model's unconventional body style limits its mainstream appeal, and a few question whether its value proposition holds up against more traditional rivals in the segment.
- NHTSA did not crash-test the 2019 or 2020 BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo, so there are no federal star ratings available to evaluate structural occupant protection for either model year.
- Both covered model years carry a zero-recall record, meaning BMW has not issued any federal safety recalls for this vehicle during the 2019 to 2020 window.
- Owner complaints filed with NHTSA total just two across both model years combined, with no crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths reported in connection with those complaints, though all such filings are unverified allegations.
- Because crash-test data is absent and the complaint volume is extremely low, shoppers have limited federal safety information to work with and should consider seeking out any available third-party or Euro NCAP test results to supplement their research.
