Although there are several errors in this InsideEV's article about the 2017 REx, it does point out the surprisingly low all electric and gasoline range increases for the 2017 REx.
The 94aH battery pack's 45% increase in usable capacity results in a 2017 BEV's range increase of 41% (114 mi / 81 mi). Maybe the slightly heavier weight of the 2017 i3 explains the 4% discrepancy. However, the REx's all-electric range increases only 35% (97 mi / 72 mi) for a 10% discrepancy.
Despite the usable gasoline tank's 26% size increase (2.4 gal / 1.9 gal), the REx's gasoline range increases only 6% for a whopping 20% discrepancy.
These E.P.A. range ratings make the 2017 REx look like a pretty disappointing upgrade.
Anyone have any explanations for these REx range discrepancies?
