In the field of electric vehicles, the new forces have taken the lead in winning applause. But not everyone is embracing the products of the new forces. The capacity of this market is still very large, allowing for more diversified consumer demand and a rich product choice.
In particular, experience-driven high-end products, that is, the market of more than 300,000 as we commonly understand it, are currently mainly controlled by tesla and Weilai. Even if they have pulled a certain distance from many traditional fuel vehicles at this price point in terms of marketing methods and intelligence, they are relatively fresh. But for high-end model users whose experience is supreme, they still have a significant gap with BBA in terms of quality control and driving quality, which also makes BBA's high-end pure electric model call has been very high.
A few days ago, BMW officially announced the price of the new BMW i3 - 349,900 yuan. Compared with the previous premium of iX3 to X3, or high-end flagship models such as iX, the price of i3 is obviously more sincere. Especially before the purchase tax exemption policy of pure electric models declined, it was equivalent to the price of the fuel version of the BMW 3 Series 325 model. Considering that the chassis of the pure electric version of the i3 requires additional batteries, the cost caused by it can be understood to some extent as bmw's official concession. If you take into account the follow-up discounts of new cars, refer to iX3 has a preferential range of about 50,000, and the next 300,000 purified electric version 3 series is just around the corner!
In addition, the BMW i3 has previously announced the official map and its related parameters. The new car continues the design style of the fuel version of the 3 Series, but some details are all divided, such as the closed grille that highlights the pure electric identity, such as the more technological dual-light headlights, and the more sharp two-sided air vent shape.
The silhouette of the side of the body is almost indistinguishable from the fuel version of the 3 Series, but the difference is the charging port on the right side of the body, and the semi-enclosed low-wind resistance wheels that are standard for pure electric models. The tail also continues the shape of the fuel version of the 3 series, the blackened taillights are dynamic, and the separation is that the traditional exhaust layout is cancelled, and the black surrounded by blue lines is used to highlight the new energy identity.
Perhaps in order to give the new car plenty of space to place the battery, the new car has a significant advantage in body size compared to the fuel version of the 3 series, even compared with the height and wheelbase of the long-axis version of the 3 series, which are 18mm and 5mm more, and the length is 43mm more. At the same time, due to the increased weight of the battery placed in the chassis, BMW will be equipped with air suspension standard in the rear axle of the vehicle in order to maintain the drivability of the i3.
If you consider that the BMW i3 eDrive35L will be equipped with the 5th generation eDrive power technology, the maximum power of the motor is 210 kilowatts, the peak torque is 400 Nm, the battery capacity is 70.3 kWh, the acceleration of 100 kilometers is 6.2 seconds, and the fuel version of the 325 is counted on the purchase tax to buy the acceleration of 330, and it has to be said that the i3 is compared to the fuel version of the three series, and wins in the hardware configuration. In addition, the i3's CLTC comprehensive cruising range of 526 kilometers, not counting the first echelon of the current pure electric camp, but considering its "oil to electricity" identity, it has tried its best to place more batteries to ensure sufficient endurance level.
