2017 BMW i3

The 2017 BMW i3 94Ah is a distinctive premium electric vehicle that combines innovative BMW engineering, instant electric performance, excellent city maneuverability, and an incredibly unique interior. The 94Ah battery represents the larger battery option introduced for the 2017 model year, providing significantly more driving range than the earlier i3 versions.Powered by a 33 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and an electric motor producing 170 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, the i3 delivers instant acceleration and an exceptionally responsive driving experience. The electric motor sends power to the rear wheels through a single-speed transmission, giving the i3 smooth, seamless acceleration.The 2017 i3 94Ah provides an EPA estimated range of approximately 114 miles on a full charge, depending on configuration and driving conditions. This makes it particularly well suited for commuting, errands, and urban driving. Equipped vehicles can also use DC fast charging to significantly reduce charging time.The exterior is unlike virtually any other vehicle on the road, featuring BMW's futuristic i design with LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, aerodynamic wheels, short overhangs, a tall cabin, and distinctive rear-hinged rear doors. The lightweight construction and compact dimensions make the i3 exceptionally easy to maneuver and park.Inside, the i3 features one of BMW's most unique cabins. Depending on configuration, materials can include natural leather, sustainable textiles, eucalyptus wood, and recycled materials, creating a premium interior with a strong emphasis on sustainability.The cabin seats four passengers and provides a surprisingly spacious environment for its compact exterior. The high seating position provides excellent visibility, while the rear-hinged rear doors make getting into the back seats easier when the front doors are open.Technology is a major highlight. The i3 features BMW's iDrive infotainment system, with an available large display, navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, USB connectivity, voice commands, SiriusXM, and smartphone integration depending on equipment.The i3's driving experience is one of its biggest strengths. The electric motor provides instant torque, allowing quick acceleration from a stop. Its rear-wheel-drive layout, low center of gravity, lightweight carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic passenger cell, and tight turning radius make it extremely agile around town.The i3's regenerative braking system also allows for substantial one-pedal driving, meaning the vehicle can slow dramatically when the driver lifts off the accelerator. This makes stop-and-go traffic particularly smooth and intuitive.The compact dimensions are ideal for city driving. The i3 can fit into tight parking spaces, maneuver easily through congested streets, and provide an elevated seating position for excellent visibility.Safety features include Dynamic Stability Control, Dynamic Traction Control, Anti-Lock Braking System, Brake Assist, multiple airbags, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, and a rearview camera. Depending on configuration, available technology includes Park Distance Control, Parking Assistant, and Forward Collision Warning with Pedestrian Detection.The i3 also offers a surprisingly practical rear cargo area for its size. The rear seats can fold to provide additional room for groceries, luggage, shopping, and everyday items.For buyers looking for even greater flexibility, the i3 REx version was also available with a small gasoline range extender. However, a standard 94Ah i3 BEV is fully electric and does not have the gasoline range extender.Owners appreciate the 2017 BMW i3 94Ah for its distinctive styling, instant electric acceleration, premium interior, agile handling, compact size, innovative construction, and low operating costs.The 2017 BMW i3 94Ah is the perfect vehicle for someone looking for 170 horsepower, approximately 114 miles of electric range, insta
