Overview
Belonging to the subcompact hatchback segment, the 2016 BMW i3 carries all the qualities of a true electric vehicle. With a starting price of MSRP $42,400, the BMW i3 offers a single trim. This puts it in direct competition with cars like the Volkswagen eGolf and the Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive. There aren#39;t any powertrain options to explore here. The i3 is equipped with a single 125-kW electric motor setup with a rated power output of 170 horsepower. In a straight line, the i3 clocks a 0-60 of 6.6 seconds. A 22-kWh battery can be found here, which gives the i3 a range of 81 miles. While the powertrain leaves you devoid of choices, the choice is instead offered through the 6 beautiful colors available for the car.
