2020 BMW i3 Trims Comparison
2020 i3 trim level differences
The 2020 BMW i3 is a four-door hatchback with seating for four passengers. It's available in i3 or i3s trim, both of which are all-electric by default. You can also get them equipped with a gasoline-powered Range Extender, which uses a two-cylinder gasoline and a 2.3-gallon tank to recharge the battery once it runs out. All four versions are powered with a 42-kWh battery that is good for 153 miles of range in the electric-only version or 126 miles in the Range Extender model.
Which 2020 i3 trim does Edmunds recommend?
While we like the styling of the i3s, we don't think its restyled bumpers, larger wheels and marginally more powerful motor are worth the premium it commands. Stick with the standard i3 instead, and opt for the Technology + Driving Assistant package if you want to make the daily commute a little easier.
