BMW isn't afraid of inventing new niches and that's exactly what this Geneva-bound concept will do. Part saloon, part hatchback, part SUV and part estate BMW refers to this 5 Series proportioned machine as the Progressive Activity Sedan. There's no denying it's got something of the look of BMW's existing genre-defying X6 about it, without the lofty ride height.
Quite who the 5 Series Gran Turismo Concept is aimed at is anyone's guess, though if you've more than two children then it's not for you, as it only offers seating for four. The variable boot is accessed by one of two means, the two-piece tailgate offering either a full hatchback opening or a saloon-like bootlid - much like Skoda's Twindoor opening on its Superb. Production cars will feature BMW's latest engine line-up, including its acclaimed six-cylinder turbodiesels. Certain to be rear-wheel drive only in the UK, BMW's XDrive four-wheel drive system is likely on the continent when this concept turns into reality.
