2027 BMW i3.
Last Updated:
A brand new BMW i3 sedan is right around the corner. And this new illustration from AutoCar gives us an idea of what it could look like.
There have been plenty of teasers from BMW, spy shots, and illustrations. But so far, this has to be my favorite one. It’s not perfect, but I think it really shows a cool new and much cleaner design direction for the brand’s small electric sedan.
As we already know, it will use a platform similar to the new iX3 SUV. However, due to its more aerodynamic shape and more discreet presence on the scale, it is rumored to be capable of at least 500 miles of range. When measured in the European test cycle. Which would still be over 400 miles EPA.
In Europe, the new BMW i3 will be competing directly against the upcoming Mercedes C-Class electric. (previously known as the EQC sedan). However, the BMW will have a much sleeker and tasteful styling. Even if the designers can’t help themselves from using some crappy looking black plastic trim here and there. At least it won’t have that new ghastly huge new Mercedes illuminated grille. Which has to look really, really bad on a small sedan.
It seems BMW will soon be a much classier choice in the German Luxury Car world.
The “regular” BMW 3 series will also see a brand new design. But it will still be based on its current platform. The new design will try very hard to make it look like the new i3.
The new i3 interior should be pretty similar to what we just saw in the new iX3. Which is much nicer than some current BMW interiors. Next will be a facelift for the 5 Series and i5 sedans. One that will include the new i3 front end. Something that seems a natural fit for the larger sedan, and a big improvement over tthet guretn giant grille.
This design is much pleasing to the eye as compared to their Bugs Bunny cars.
This would be the best looking BMW in at least a decade. Still worried about that interior based on images that BMW has shown, but at least for an exterior, this looks pretty darn good. Fresh and clean without being a UFO.
Really hate this Neue Krap design. The sharp, boxy lines are dated and ugly
I like the smaller kidney grill. A lot of recent BMWs had just become garish in the front. And I like the central hood relief. The body… I’m still on the fence about. It could be sleek but it might also end up just looking cheap.
Looks like a Volvo from the 90s
