An international jury panel from 22 countries around the world determined the winners of these prestigious awards and they were recently announced at the New York International Auto Show. This is just the latest of a series of news reflecting how much the world is anticipating this vehicle. Recently, BMW announced that production of the 2014 BMW i3 had to be increased by almost one half to meet the initial demand, beating out expectations.
In Evanston, BMW drivers are certain nabbing these awards will serve to only increase demand even more. The 2014 BMW i3 is the world's first premium car which is powered entirely by an electrical driving system and is revolutionary given its ultra-lightweight construction. For the first time luxury, comfort and performance we have come to expect from BMW is now coupled with a zero emissions vehicle.
In and around Evanston, the 2014 BMW i3 is highly
anticipated as it is a 5-door, 4-passenger vehicle which uses lithium-ion
batteries with an estimated range of 80 to 100 miles. Additionally, a small,
two-cylinder gasoline engine is available to act as a generator in the case
that you exceed the range and are not near a charging station.
Best of all, no emissions does not come at the expense of
performance or dependability on the road.
The 2014 BMW i3 is estimated to go from 0-60 miles per hour in a mere
7.2 seconds! It also promises to provide a smooth and nearly silent driving
experience made possible through state-of-the-art technology such as BMW
EfficientDynamics and BMW eDrive.
We are counting down the days for the highly lauded 2014 BMW i3 to arrive at our dealership. Stay tuned to our blog or better yet stop by Field BMW Northfield for the latest news!
