BMW 6 Series GT
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.
From a pure safety-data standpoint, the 2019 and 2020 BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo presents a picture that is both reassuring and incomplete. On the reassuring side, BMW issued zero recalls across both covered model years, which is a genuinely clean record for any vehicle in this segment. Owner complaints filed with NHTSA are almost nonexistent, totaling just two across the entire coverage window, with zero reported crashes, zero fires, zero injuries, and zero deaths attached to those filings. That is about as quiet a complaint record as you will find. The critical gap, however, is crash-test coverage. NHTSA did not test the 6 Series GT in either model year we cover, meaning there are no star ratings or Safety Index scores to anchor our assessment. Shoppers cannot lean on federal crash-test data to evaluate how this vehicle would perform in a collision. BMW does equip the 6 Series GT with a suite of active safety technology as standard or optional content, but without independent crash-test validation from NHTSA, there is no objective structural safety benchmark available here. The bottom line is straightforward: the recall and complaint record is excellent, but the absence of crash-test data leaves a meaningful blind spot that safety-conscious buyers should weigh carefully before purchasing.
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.
