BMW i3 Review: Best Hibrid Electric Cars

Electric cars like the BMW i3 slowly began to surface and began biting / able to compete with cars that use fossil fuels. This is because the need for fossil energy is increasingly depleted (and costs for fossil energy is increasingly bloated), so the engineers have long been thought of to build electric cars are efficient and good for the future.

BMW i3 series is the first battery-powered car that was done by the company BMW. see M4 Convertible BMW cars. Battery-powered cars made with a clear freedom, imagination and commitment to compete in the European premium car brand products.

BMW i3 at present with two variants. The first variant of the BMW i3 is a car that uses pure electric power that is able to cover a distance of between 80 to 100 miles. As for the second variant of the i3 called Range Extender, electrical energy comes with the energy of gasoline(petrol). so when its (electrical battery) power runs out, we can go on using the resources that come from gasoline(petrol).


BMW i3 Design and Style

BMW i3 Design and Style
BMW i3 has a design and style that is very innovative compared to bmw other products, particularly can be seen from the design of the door (direction of the car door is opened).

BMW i3 Design and Style
This car was built with carbonfibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) that has a light weight so as to make the battery more efficient. And, in keeping the car's weight is still lighter car has a hollow driveshafts, honeycomb windscreen wiper, forged aluminum suspension and wheels and lightweight cabin fittings that makes everything look better.

If we sit in the driver's seat BMW i3, as if we were sitting in a car that comes from the future. With a dashboard display that fits and the right position making it easier for the driver in control (for a fixed control play a kind of circle that contained the middle).

On the dashboard there are two screens, one in the middle of the dash, and another one in front of the steering wheel, both have different functions. Take a look at the steering wheel which is also coated with blue lines that make it more attractive. In the middle there is a drinks holder. Distance seat second row with the first row safe enough to provide comfort for passengers

The bad thing of this is their door interlock, so to open the back door (entrance backward) we had to open the front door first. However, the BMW i3 provides a good user experience for a car under £ 30k.


BMW i3 Performance

BMW i3 has the ability to drive the electric force reaches 168bhp, this is not at all bad and very impressive. This car is able to cover 0-62mph in just 7.2 seconds (in electric mode) and a top speed of just 93mph possible. For the BMW i3 range extender, it has a load of 120kg heavier, so it takes a bit more than just a pure electric, which is 7.9 seconds and both have the same maximum speed, 93mph.

BMW i3 Performance
When using the battery, the farthest we can cover 94 miles and the lowest is 68 miles. but when in a state of full battery and a fresh tank, then we can take up to exceed 150 miles.


BMW i3 Price

For an electric car, the BMW i3 prices at $ 42.400 price. I think the price is quite reasonable for all the advantages of features and innovations that superbly given the BMW i3.
