BMW i3 Latest Updates
After having launched the
uber-futuristic i8 hybrid sports car in India, BMW has now brought in its
smaller sibling, the i3, in the country
BMW is one of
the carmakers at the very forefront when it comes to developing vehicles
propelled by alternative energy. Its ‘i’ lineup in India will now see the
addition of the i3 hatchback that was first unveiled simultaneously in London,
New York, and Beijing two years back, and has now been showcased at the 2016
Auto Expo in Delhi.
Tipping the scales at just 1,195 kilos, the fully electric BMW i3
hatchback is lighter than most vehicles in its segment, yet offers
significantly more space for up to four occupants. Motive power comes from a
battery and motor combination that, when fully charged, has a range of between
128 and 145 kilometres. It is capable of attaining a top speed of 150 kmph and
accelerating from nought to 100kmph in 7.2 seconds.
Should
one so desire, the BMW i3 is also available with a range-extender, which
maintains the charge of the lithium-ion battery at a constant level en route,
as soon as it falls below a specified value. This is performed by a
two-cylinder gasoline engine with 34PS. The range extender increases the car’s
maximum range in day-to-day driving to around 300 kilometres.
BMW claims that, over a
period of three years, the maintenance and running costs for an i3 are about
40% lower than those of a comparable hatchback.
