BMW is readying the facelifted version of the i3 for
its premiere at the Frankurt Motor Show, with new range-topping version dubbed i3S iPerformance. Set to offer a sportier driving experience, the i3S will
reportedly get a more powerful electric motor, adding 20 hp to the standard
168 hp for a total of 188 hp.
The upcoming i3S improve
its straight-line performance but not at the expense of driving range, which
will remain the same with the standard 94Ah versions according to Autocar.
The BMW i3S is also going to get a 40 mm wider
front track and a 10 mm lower suspension height in order to spice up its
handling. The rest of the i3 range will remain technically the same, meaning a
94Ah battery pack feeding a 168 hp electric motor. BMW is concentrating on
refreshing the quirky exterior look of the i3 with some new bumpers, restyled
lights all around, new alloy wheel options and a wider choice of colors.
A new range of trim options as well as the latest
version of BMW iDrive infotainment system will be included in the facelifted
i3’s interior changes.
