2018 BMW i3 94 Ah s RWD with Range Extender

2018 BMW i3s Range-Extended electric powertrain (181 hp, 199 ft-lb torque) The 2018 BMW i3s with the Range Extender combines a brisk electric drivetrain with a small gasoline generator that preserves battery charge for extended trips. The factory setup pairs a high-output electric motor rated at 181 horsepower and 199 lb-ft of instant torque with a single-speed reduction transmission driving the rear wheels. The Range Extender is a compact two-cylinder gasoline engine that functions as a generator to maintain battery state-of-charge when needed, allowing the vehicle to continue operating beyond pure-electric range without direct mechanical connection to the wheels. Exterior and chassis - Distinctive, compact hatchback proportions with short overhangs and a purpose-built hatch for urban maneuverability. - Sport-tuned i3s suspension calibrations and a slightly wider track than the standard i3 for improved handling and a firmer ride. - Aerodynamically shaped body panels and lightweight construction (including a carbon-fiber reinforced plastic passenger cell) to reduce mass and improve efficiency. - LED daytime running lights and character styling elements unique to the i3s (sport bumpers, trim accents) as factory-installed features. Interior and comfort - Four-passenger seating layout with rear seats that fold to expand cargo flexibility. - Interior materials emphasize sustainability: a mix of renewable and recycled textiles, natural fibers and elegantly finished trim surfaces on the dash and doors. - Driver-oriented cockpit with BMW iDrive controller for central infotainment control and a clear instrument display for driving information. - Standard comfort features include automatic climate control, power accessories, and supportive front seats designed for urban and commuting use. Technology and charging - Factory infotainment includes the BMW iDrive interface with Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming, USB connectivity and integrated vehicle information displays. - Regenerative braking with selectable intensity to recapture energy and extend electric range; multiple drive modes (including economy-focused settings) to tailor power delivery and energy consumption. - Equipped for Level 1 and Level 2 charging from household and public AC chargers; models may be factory-prepared or optionally equipped for DC fast charging depending on original equipment. Safety and driver aids - Standard safety systems include anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic stability control, traction control and a suite of airbags for front and side protection. - Rear parking assistance and driver visibility aids are commonly included; higher-level driver assistance packages were available from the factory as options (for example, forward collision warning or enhanced parking aids), depending on specification. Wheels, brakes and driveline - Sport-oriented wheel and tire package fitted from the factory for the i3s, combined with a responsive electric drive that delivers immediate torque. - Disc brakes with regenerative braking integration for smooth stopping and energy recovery. Overall, the 2018 BMW i3s Range-Extended model offers a factory configuration focused on electric driving performance with the practical backup of a small on-board generator, a compact and distinctive design, sustainable interior materials, and BMWs technology and safety systems as standard equipment. Specific option packages and regional equipment levels can affect items such as navigation, heated seats, advanced driver-assistance features, and DC fast-charging capability.
