BMW announced in May that its 2017 i3 electric car will offer an all-electric range of 114 miles—a big jump from the current model's 81 miles. The new longer-range i3, which is available now, catapults the model to first place in EV range among vehicles priced below $50,000. And yet, that position will be short-lived with 200-mile EVs, such as the Chevrolet Bolt, expected later this year.
The new 2017 BMW i3 carries a 33 kilowatt-hour battery on board. The EPA estimates driving range in city driving at 124 miles and highway driving at 102 miles. The increase in range also bumps up the price by $1,200 compared to the current version—pushing the starting price to $44,595. The price of a fully loaded i3 can climb as high as $54,000. The 2017 model offers new features such as an available sun roof, sustainable eucalyptus wood, and a new color: Protonic Blue Metallic. The new i3 remains a four-passenger car.
