Big Motoring World reviews the
sustainable, silent and quirky BMW i3 – the latest hybrid to be released by the
German automaker which is taking the market by storm.
The beauty of a hybrid, aside
from its flawless efficiency and low carbon emissions, is its silence on the roads.
Rather than just a show-off for the latest technology and engineering, it’s a
serious proposition which continues to bridge the gap between fashion and
efficiency. The
i3 is sensible, practical and ideal for city driving. It’s seriously light
with its carbon-fibre reinforced plastic frame.
Range
Much has been said about the
practicality of a hybrid for longer journeys, as you need to be charged up and
in range of power. The battery doesn’t last as long as a petrol engine –
however, the changeover to the two-cylinder range-extending petrol engine is
seamless. The engine takes nine litres of petrol, so it’s compact but gets you
through the rest of your journey and keeps the weight of the car to a minimal.
And the dashboard will keep you right up to date with all the information you
require in a prompt, efficient manner.
Interior
Of course, this vehicle is all
about travelling light so it’s compact inside but there’s plenty of style and
substance in the cabin. A slick leather interior is naturally tanned with an
olive oil leaf-based agent, with a wooden dashboard complementing the latest
technology.
BMW
BMW is going big on electric and
this car is right up there with the best they’ve released to date. As well as
its efficiency and stylish look, the power is incredible as it goes 0-62 mph in
4.4 seconds. It also hits a top speed of 93mph – what more could you need?
