The latest-generation batteries will be fitted in the BMW i3 (120 Ah) and BMW i3s (120 Ah), which were presented for the first time at the Paris Motor Show. The new lithium-ion batteries have an increased cell capacity of 120 ampere-hours (Ah), which now brings into play ranges of 177-193 miles (BMW i3) and 168-177 miles (BMW i3s) as per the WLTP procedure.
In everyday driving, the range of both models has increased by almost 30 per cent to a maximum 162 miles. And they now offer a better balance than ever between range, environment-friendliness and a driving experience defined by the brand’s signature sporting ability and intelligent connectivity.
