A fastback built for drivers who pack
Drive a 3 Series Gran Turismo
The BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo is a five-seat fastback with a rear hatch, an eight-speed automatic, and standard xDrive all-wheel drive. BMW built it in Germany through the 2019 model year, then discontinued it, so expect 2019 and earlier model years on Turo. Browse every BMW rental in Canada, or book a BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo car rental for sport sedan manners with hatchback space.
On Turo, you book from a local vehicle owner and choose the year, colour, and options that suit your trip. Pick it up yourself or arrange delivery, including at airports like YYZ or YVR where listings offer it.

Hatchback space, sport sedan soul
The 3 Series Gran Turismo carries far more than its sleek shape suggests. Its wide rear hatch opens onto 24.6 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seats. Fold those seats down and you get 56.8 cu ft — room for suitcases, ski bags, and a weekend's worth of cottage supplies.
Turbocharged power and xDrive grip
The 330i xDrive pairs a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder with 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, available from just 1,450 rpm. It runs 0–60 mph in 5.9 sec (the manufacturer's figure), so highway merges feel easy. The 340i xDrive steps up to a 3.0L turbocharged inline-six with 322 hp and 330 lb-ft.
Both trims send power through an eight-speed automatic to standard xDrive all-wheel drive. That grip comes in handy through Canadian winters and the slushy shoulder seasons on either side. Tire setups vary, so check each listing before you book.
Room to stretch out
The 3 Series Gran Turismo gives you more cabin space than you'd expect from a sport sedan. BMW raised the seating position, so you sit a little higher and see more of the road ahead. Five seats and a spacious interior make it easy to bring friends or family along.
The dimensions back it up. A 115.0-in wheelbase and 190.0-in overall length make it longer than a typical compact sport sedan. That extra length shows up as an open, airy cabin (welcome when a road trip runs long).
Stand out with a 3 Series Gran Turismo
The 3 Series Gran Turismo is a rare find — a discontinued fastback most travellers won't spot on a rental lot. It suits road trips with gear, ski weekends, and couples or small families who want BMW manners without stepping up to an SUV. With five seats and a hatch that swallows bags, it's one of the more distinctive picks for car rental in Canada.
Top 3 Series Gran Turismo features
Active rear spoiler
Three details set the 3 Series Gran Turismo apart: its active rear spoiler, its four-door fastback profile, and its status as a modern classic.
The 3 Series Gran Turismo's active rear spoiler deploys automatically at speed to add stability, then retracts as you slow down. You don't press a button or change a setting — the car handles it on its own.
It's one of the Gran Turismo's signature design details. Around town, the spoiler stays tucked away, so the rear end looks clean and smooth. Out on the highway, it rises into place and helps the car feel steady and composed at cruising speed.
Fastback profile with four doors
The 3 Series Gran Turismo pairs a coupe-like sloping roofline with four side doors and a rear hatch. You get the sleek silhouette of a fastback without giving up easy access to the back seat or the cargo area.
The design follows BMW's Gran Turismo idea: take the comfort of a sedan and add the flexibility of a hatchback. Rear passengers climb in through their own doors, and bags slide in through the wide hatch. It looks sporty at the curb and works hard on a weekend away.
A modern classic worth seeking out
The 3 Series Gran Turismo has earned modern-classic status. BMW built it in Germany and ended production after the 2019 model year, so you won't find a new one on any dealer lot.
Renting one on Turo lets you drive a piece of BMW's recent history without committing to ownership. Each listing shows the model year and trim, so you can pick the version that interests you most. It's a smart way to try a fastback that's growing harder to find (and a fun story to share at your destination).

Top tips and things to know before renting a 3 Series Gran Turismo
Get to know your 3 Series Gran Turismo
A little prep goes a long way: read the listing details, plan for premium fuel, and compare prices before you book.
Start with the listing before you set off. Check the model year and trim (330i vs. 340i), and look at the fuel-use figure, which listings in Canada show in L/100km. At pickup, confirm the hatch opens fully so you know your gear will fit.
Many BMW listings in Canada note snow tires and heated seats as features, which helps on winter trips. These details vary by listing, so check before you book.
3 Series Gran Turismo driving tips
The 3 Series Gran Turismo requires premium unleaded fuel, so plan your fill-ups. Its 15.8-gal tank gives you good range on long highway stretches between cities.
At 190 in long, it needs a bit of extra room when you park. Let xDrive do its work in wet or wintry weather, but always drive to conditions. If you book in Canada, you can cross provincial borders and drive into the US, but not into Mexico.
How much does it cost to rent a 3 Series Gran Turismo?
The price of a 3 Series Gran Turismo rental depends on location, model year, trim, and season. Local vehicle owners set their own prices, so compare a few listings in your area.
Planning a longer stay? Many local vehicle owners offer weekly and monthly discounts, which can make a long-term car rental more affordable.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
