German automaker BMW has finally unveiled its all-new BMW i3 electric sedan for the Indian market. This new i3 also previews the next-generation BMW 3 Series. The electric sedan is designed based on the company’s latest Neue Klasse design language.
This is a high-performance electric car from BMW, offering an impressive range of around 900–950 km, which is higher than the iX3. As per reports, the company is planning to launch this electric car in India by 2027.
So, let’s take a look at the features offered in the latest BMW i3 electric sedan.

Apart from this it has been equipped with black-out A,B and C-pillars. It also has vertical air intakes that are accented with gloss black trim.
Interestingly, the i3’s side profile stays closer to a traditional three-box design, which BMW calls a “2.5-box” layout, instead of the curved and flowing shapes seen in many electric sedans.
The body panels look clean and smooth, with retractable door handles adding to the sleek look. The stylish alloy wheels also fit neatly into the wheel arches, giving it a well-balanced stance.
