2021 BMW i3 on Road

Wondering what hybrid electric power can bring to your daily drives in Los Angeles? The BMW i3 range is 153 miles for standard models, and as high as 200 miles with the optional gas-powered i3 range extender. Read on for an inside look at the BMW i3 range and other performance specs, and then browse our new i3 inventory to see what models are available right now at Pacific BMW in Glendale!

2021 BMW i3 Performance Specs

The i3 is available in two models: the i3 and the i3s. Both run on an AC Synchronous Electric Motor paired with a 42 kWh high-voltage battery, and can charge fully in under six hours. Either trim can also be upgraded with an available Range Extender, taking the BMW i3 range from 153 to 200 miles. Explore more specs below:

Base BMW i3 Performance Specs

  • 168 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque
  • 0-60 MPH time of 7.2 seconds
  • 100 combined MPGe
  • BMW i3 range of 153 miles on a single charge
  • Range of 200 miles with i3 range extender

BMW i3s Performance Specs

  • 181 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque
  • 0-60 MPH acceleration time of 6.8 seconds
  • 100 combined MPGe
  • BMW i3 range of 153 miles on a single charge
  • Range of 200 miles with i3 range extender

BMW i3 Range Extender

Is the i3 range extender worth the added coast? If your daily travels often take beyond the Hollywood borders, then adding the optional 2-cylinder gasoline i3 Range Extender boosts the BMW i3 range by 47 miles — offering you greater convenience and peace of mind. Compare the i3 price with and without the i3 range extender, below, then compare the i3 vs. competitors like the Tesla Model 3:

  • BMW i3 Price — $44,450 MSRP
  • BMW i3 Price with Range Extender — $48,300 MSRP
  • BMW i3s Price — $47,650 MSRP
  • BMW i3sPrice with Range Extender — $51,500 MSRP

By contrast, a standard hybrid uses gas and electric power simultaneously. That puts the i3 in the EV category, even though its performance and efficiency benefits are more aligned with hybrid models.
