BMW i3s 2018 review

Uploaded 7 years ago by CarsGuide

Video Summary

The BMW i3s does a good job on eco efficiency.

It has a good electric range.

The i3s is quick, with a zero to 100 km/h time of 6.9 seconds, 0.4 seconds faster than the standard i3.

It produces 135kW of power and 270Nm of torque.

20-millimeter wider tires enhance the handling and stability of the i3s.

Adjustments were made to the springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars.

Previous models looked like they were rolling on thin bicycle tires, now it has shoes to give it better grip.

The interior is a major highlight, featuring a so-called lodge interior with olive leaf extract tanned leather, recycled plastic, and wool.

The new 10.25-inch media screen is bright and impressive.

It has the new iDrive 6 media control system.

Apple CarPlay is available wirelessly as an optional fee.

Though rear seat access is awkward with the rearward opening back doors, it is more practical than a three-door hatchback.

Dual ISOFIX points and a top tether are in the back.

The boot isn't big enough for a full family's worth of luggage, only about 260 liters.

All i3s models have black wheel arches.

There are new colors and a black top finish.

The BMW i3s will benefit city dwellers and those doing their part for the environment.

Matt gives the i3s an expert rating of 7.4/10.
