BMW i3 hatchback 2018 pictures

The BMW i3 is available as an all-electric or plug-in hybrid range extender model

The standard i3 is fitted with a 94Ah battery that gives a claimed range of 195 miles

The range extender also has a small petrol engine, giving a 288-mile range on standard models

Like the BMW i8 sports car, the BMW i3 hatchback has a radical design

It doesn't just look futuristic, the i3 is largely constructed from lightweight carbon fibre

This helps the standard all-electric i3 get from 0-62mph in a surprisingly brisk 7.3 seconds

A floating roof design helps disguise the fact the i3 is quite tall for its size

The sporty i3s gets improved performance and handling, with a slight reduction in official range

There are no gauges in the BMW i3 – they are replaced with digital screens

The i3 is a four-seater, with enough room for adults in the front and back
