What is the body length of the BMW i3?

[VonFelicity]

The body length of the BMW i3 is 4020mm, with a width of 1775mm, height of 1600mm, and a wheelbase of 2570mm. The BMW i3 is positioned as a compact car, featuring a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. The BMW i3 is equipped with a pure electric 170-horsepower motor, delivering a total power output of 125kW and a total torque of 250Nm, paired with a single-speed electric transmission. The BMW i3 adopts a wider front windshield, uses smaller aluminum alloy wheels, and its interior design closely resembles that of the MINI Clubman, emphasizing the vehicle's practicality.

Just helped my cousin measure his BMW i3 the other day - the car length is exactly 4 meters (4006mm to be precise), even shorter than regular hatchbacks. But with a 2570mm wheelbase, the rear seats are surprisingly spacious, especially with those practical coach doors. This compact size makes city driving extremely nimble - I parallel parked in one go at those tight market parking spots where three cars squeeze into two spaces, thanks to the rearview camera. The only drawback is the small trunk; we had to slide the rear seats forward to fit a stroller.

As an owner in an old residential area, I pay close attention to the car's dimensions. After actual measurement, the BMW i3 standard version is just over 4 meters long. This length makes it much more maneuverable than my neighbor's Model 3 when passing through narrow alleys. Combined with the short front overhang design, it can make a U-turn at a 5-meter-wide intersection with full steering lock. Last time I parked in a multi-story garage, the attendant even praised how worry-free it was since the car didn't exceed the length limit. The only downside is that the short front end means the frunk can hardly fit anything - even an umbrella has to be placed vertically.

After driving the i3 for two and a half years to pick up my child, the advantage of its 40 cm shorter body length compared to regular sedans is evident: it's much easier to squeeze into tight parking spots in the kindergarten pickup zone; on weekends when exploring old town areas, it passes through 4.2-meter width-restricted pillars effortlessly. I remember one time rushing to the emergency room—the hospital's underground mechanical parking spaces only accepted vehicles under 4 meters in length, and I was so glad I had bought this car. Despite its short length, the height exceeds 1.6 meters, so installing a child safety seat in the back won't cause any headroom issues.
