BMW i3
Join the electric revolution and say goodbye to costly fuel bills and polluting CO2 emissions with the BMW i3. This fun-to-drive city car boasts smartly contemporary looks that hint at a future in which the combustion engine has ceased to exist.
Design
The BMW i3 puts a fresh spin on the traditional BMW design. Retaining the classic kidney grille and clean lines of its fuel-powered siblings, this electric car possesses appealingly compact dimensions that make it an ideal vehicle to drive around busy streets. The i3 is available with two-tone paint options that allow it to become even more of a head-turner. A practical four-door body enables easy access to a surprisingly spacious cabin that provides room for five travellers. A 260-litre boot space might not seem like much but split-folding rear seats allow luggage capacity to increase to 1,100 litres.
Performance
The i3’s electric motor is paired with a 33kWh lithium-ion battery, producing 168bhp – and 0-60mph in a little over seven seconds. With the battery fully charged, the car’s range is 115 miles. You can opt for a range extender, which adds a two-cylinder 34bhp petrol engine that keeps the battery charged-up as you drive – and effectively doubles the i3’s range. Naturally, this option produces CO2 emissions. However, these are as low as 13g/km.
Technology and Safety
A four-speaker sound system is installed as standard, featuring an AM/FM tuner and DAB radio. A 10.3-inch screen is included, providing access to the car’s satellite navigation system. Bluetooth connectivity also features, allowing you to stream music from compatible devices and make and receive hands-free calls. Safety comes in the form of a carbon fibre-reinforced plastic shell and a host of protective features, such as six airbags, seatbelt reminders and Electronic Stability Control.
