One of the great options in the electric market which our team had the chance to test and review is the BMW I8 COUPE 2dr Auto shown here (thank you BMW for the trial!). In terms of configuration, the car is based on the following:
· Pearl – Crystal white with Blue accent
· Spheric perforated full leather – Amido black
· 20″ Turbine spoke alloy wheels – style 625
As standard this luxury-car does have a generous level of specification including 20” alloys, leather upholstery, colour-coded brake callipers advanced loudspeaker system, LED headlights dynamic traction and brake control, hill start assist, enhance Bluetooth, front/rear parking sensors, cruise control, 20GB hard drive, head up display navigation, 8.8” screen, sports multifunction steering wheel, ambient lighting, welcome lighting, driver assistant pack, crash sensors, electrically adjustable front seats, heated front seats, keyless ignition and formation zones.
In terms additional factory extras, consider the Harmon/Kardon sound system, alloy wheel upgrades and comfort access system.
In terms of the technical specification, a standard vehicle will have a P11d of circa £106,940.92 and CO2 of 49g/km – take note if you are looking for a company car. The lithium-ion battery is combined with a 1499CC petrol 6 speed auto engine to deliver 0-62 times of 4.4 seconds, 134.5 combined MPG and has a battery capacity of 7.1 kWh. Service intervals are set at every 24 months or 8,000 miles, whichever lands sooner.
So would the BMW i8 be you electric/eco leasing choice? Or will be you be eagerly awaiting the more affordable Model 3 Tesla?
