"No matter how old you are, you can't live without a BMW 3 Series", which is BMW's classic slogan. But if you add a time period to this sentence, it must not be now. The roaring exhaust sound, the pungent smell of gasoline, are not acceptable to everyone... As a result, more and more potential consumers of the 3 Series have thrown themselves into the arms of electric vehicles, while BMW has launched a counterattack war. On March 31, the BMW i3 was officially unveiled, priced at 349,900 yuan.
Technology, space "give enough"
The last time I saw this one-piece suspension curved screen was on the imported models iX and i4, and this time it appeared on the domestic model - i3, and also has the iDrive 8 system, as well as qq music, Himalaya and other small programs that are convenient for daily use.
In some small details, the designer deliberately made a simplification, such as the lack of a large number of physical buttons in the center console area, the classic chicken leg barrier has also been replaced by an electric gear, plus the one-piece suspension curved screen, at least it does not look like people are associated with the 3 series.
Unabashedly speaking, the i3 is based on the current 3 series, but the former has achieved a comprehensive overtaking in size, its length, width and height are 4872mm/1846mm/1481mm, and the wheelbase is 2966mm, even compared with the long wheelbase 3 series version. Of course, in order to further take care of the comfort type, the i3 is also equipped with a comfort type headrest and so on. Driving control "give foot"
For BMW's user group, the decline in handling must not be tolerated, just like the lack of the current 3 series "rear anti-tilt bar", which has caused many car owners to be dissatisfied. The "rear anti-roll bar" on the i3 is not only standard, but also has an air suspension system on the rear axle, which is not only rare in the same class, but also superior to those medium and large models within the group.
In addition, the power is also a highlight of the i3 model, which is equipped with a 210 kW motor, and the official zero hundred time is 6.2 seconds, which is closer to the Tesla Model 3 rear-wheel drive version. Of course, if you look at the fuel version of the 3 series, only the top "330i" can compete with it. Finally, talking about battery life, the i3 matches a ternary lithium battery with a capacity of 70.27kWh, and the CLTC has a range of 526 kilometers, which is close to the model 3 rear-wheel drive version.
Compared with the Model 3, it is certain that the future opponent of i3 is certainly indispensable to Tesla Model 3, and the two have more similarities in performance and endurance, but in assisted driving, Model 3 is far better than i3, and the advantages of i3 are reflected in higher configuration and stronger space. Finally, we said that the price, the current manufacturer announced the price of 349,900 yuan, and this and the "325i" high-end model is close, but the i3 in terms of power, configuration and other aspects to achieve a comprehensive crush, which is to give the 3 series purchase group, a choice of electrification opportunity.
