Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is BMW i3 BEV 120 Ah

The BMW i3 BEV 120 Ah is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 135 kW (181 hp) of power and 250 Nm of torque.

This enables a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 7.3 seconds (ranked №319 out of 586 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 150 km/h.

Real-world range of BMW i3 BEV 120 Ah

The estimated real-world range for BMW i3 BEV 120 Ah falls between 270–330 km, ranking it №417 out of 586 electric vehicles. Several conditions can influence this range:

  • Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
  • Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
  • Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
  • Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
  • Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

BMW i3 BEV 120 Ah charge port type?

In Europe BMW i3 BEV 120 Ah has a CCS Type 2 charge port.
