BMW claims it has created another niche in the already crowded car market with the launch of its new 5-series GT.

To find out if the one-third saloon, one-third estate and one-third SUV could live up to its billing, Autocar's Hilton Holloway took the car on a five day drive from Lisbon to Fez in Morocco and back, and you can see the hi-res pics by clicking on the link below.

"The only real way to test this new concept was to indulge in a proper Grand Tour," said Holloway, "something that would really tax the car and test its ability to cosset the occupants."

The route took in three countries driving on tight mountain roads, dusty side streets, busy city centres and empty highways to see if the 5-series GT could do just that.

The full account of Holloway's epic trip can be read in this week's Autocar magazine, which is on sale now.
