With electric cars constantly gaining popularity in the U.S. we suspect that a lot of drivers will be waking up on Christmas morning to a little plug-in hatchback sitting in their driveway. While all of those lucky drivers will be able to reap the benefits of never paying for gas, a lot of them will have to give up the performance that comes with traditional cars. This is not the case with the new BMW i3.


This futuristic little EV hatchback is changing the whole electric car market. BMW thought that just because you want to drive an electric vehicle doesn’t mean you should have to sacrifice the enjoyment of driving your car. This is why the i3 still generates 170 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. The cool part is that in an electric car, the torque is instant which means you will be able to beat almost any car out of a dead stop.

BMW also makes the new i3 available in three distinct trim levels: Mega World, Giga World, and Tera World. You can learn what they all mean by visiting us at the BMW of San Antonio showroom and speaking with our staff about taking a test drive. Hope to see you soon!
