BMW reboots the i3 as a high-range, performance-focused EV sedan
TL;DR
BMW unveils a modern i3 on its Neue Klasse platform, pairing motors on both axles for 463 hp and 476 lb-ft, with an 800-volt system, EPA-rated 440-mile range, and 400 kW DC fast charging. The battery is integrated into the chassis for weight and stiffness, and the car features bidirectional charging, a tech-forward interior (17.9-inch driver display, optional 3D HUD, Digital Key Plus, Alexa AI), with production starting in August 2026 and deliveries planned for fall; pricing will be announced closer to launch.
