The BMW i3 concept was initially showcased this year in Germany and today the eco-friendly hatchback arrives for any midlife update. Even though there has not been the official statement from BMW, based on sources, chances are it will obtain a makeover the coming year. It'll feature new styling as well as an upgraded powertrain. Presently, the i3 is operated by a 125kW (170PS) motor unit that gives 250Nm of twist the 2nd you place your feet around the accelerator pedal. The moment power delivery implies that it clocks -60kmph in only 3.2 seconds, whereas -100kmph requires a little over 7 seconds. Maximum range stands at 160 kilometres within the pure electric mode, which may be adopted to 300 kilometres if you pick the number-extender gas motor. The update will probably further enhance the plethora of the motor unit. The i3 could also be provided with a range of different ranges, to allow the client pick one according to his needs. As the i3 looks straight from the future, the look has not visited everyone's taste. BMW is going to be searching at giving the front and back profile just a little puppy nip and tuck to really make it simpler around the eyes. Based on a study printed by German weekly Welt am Sonntag, the update towards the exteriors is an effect from the 'persistent criticism' BMW has gotten over the way the i3 looks. It can't be farfetched to visualize a couple of updates to filter in to the cabin too. Read more about BMW i3 vs Tesla here. BMW already retails its i8 hybrid supercar in India. Will the i3 make inroads in to the Indian market too? While odds are slim, we can't rule it entirely either. With manufacturers queueing up eco-friendly cars in very niche segments (read: Honda Accord Hybrid and Toyota Prius), we have seen pointless why the small i3 having a big BMW badge should not be introduced.
