OUR PICK OF THE RANGE i3s
BMW i3
BMW’s fi rst fully electric production car looks every bit as good now as it did back in 2013 when it fi rst made its debut. This compact four-seater is anything but conventional, from its quirky styling and carbon chassis construction to its rear-hinged doors. It’s ideal for city and urban living if you don’t carry much in the boot. A raised driving position and open interior add to its appeal. In the intervening years, BMW has continually upgraded the i3 in line with improvements in battery technology and now it features a 42.2kWh battery that can power the i3 for up to 310 kilometres (WLTP) on a single charge. The i3s is a sportier model that improves upon the already fun handling.
BMW i8
BMW’s i8 plug-in hybrid sports car has lost none of its appeal since it hit our streets in 2014. From its low and wide stance to its elegant butterfl y doors, it has all the theatre of a thoroughbred Italian supercar. Available as a 2+2 coupe or a two-seat roadster, the i8 uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine and a plug-in hybrid system to good eff ect, making it feel and sound quite potent. You’ll have to be well-behaved to get close to the offi cial 2.5 litres/100km, which isn’t easy given is sharp for-wheel-drive handling and 362hp maximum output. But its classifi cation in one of the lowest motor tax bands, and ability to cover up to 35 kilometres on battery power alone, makes it a smart fi nancial move. It may be getting on in years, but there’s still little else like it on sale today.
