From Torque News.

BMW is ready to challenge the electric vehicle market leader with its new 2027 BMW i3. The upcoming sedan, a key part of the brand’s Neue Klasse line, is a complete reinvention of the original i3 hatchback. With a focus on performance and range, BMW is taking direct aim at the Tesla Model 3. This new premium EV sedan is poised to be a serious contender in the growing electric vehicle space, offering consumers a fresh, high-tech alternative.

Performance enthusiasts should take note of the new i3 M60 xDrive. Rumored to boast an incredible 630 horsepower, this top-tier trim is set to outperform the Tesla Model 3 Performance. Furthermore, the new BMW i3 range is expected to be a game-changer, with some versions potentially reaching up to 560 miles on a single charge. This would be a significant leap over the Tesla Model 3 Long Range and a major selling point for those concerned with range anxiety.

The technological advancements in the new i3 extend beyond just horsepower and range. BMW is set to offer ultra-fast charging speeds, capable of adding over 200 miles of range in just 10 minutes. This is a noticeable improvement over Tesla’s current Supercharger capabilities. In a major strategic move, BMW has also confirmed that its Neue Klasse models will feature the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, making them fully compatible with the vast Tesla Supercharger network. This single decision eliminates one of Tesla’s biggest advantages and makes the new BMW i3 a truly compelling choice.
