Certified CenterBMW is ready to expand its electric lineup. While it already produces the electric i3, a plug-in hybrid version of the 3-Series, 7-Series, and X5, the German automakers have their sights set on more.
In a statement, BMW’s chairman of the boar, Harald Kruger, said the entire company plans to increase its electric offerings across the board, including both Rolls-Royce and BMW’s M models. By 2025, 25 vehicles will be electrified models, 12 being fully electric. He also stated that all fully electric BMWs will be sold under the i sub-brand, including the X3.
Kruger went on to confirm that BMW will unveil a new iNext concept slated for production in 2021. The iNext will be “a vision of how we imagine a four-door, fully-electric vehicle between the i3 and i8.” It was also mentioned that the iNext will get the company’s Gen 5 electric powertrain.
Rumors have been circulating that a 3-Series will be the first in production, with a sportier roofline and potentially using carbon fiber construction. We can also be hopeful that it will include the equipment to make it capable of Level 5 autonomy.
