The Good The 2014 BMW i3 is one of the lightest electric cars in this class. An optional gasoline range extender allows the i3 driver to double the EV's cruising range. The cabin is a work of art, using an attractive mix of high-quality materials. Standard tech includes navigation, HD Radio and more. Coach doors provide unfettered access to the spacious cabin.
The Bad The i3 is the most expensive car in this class by a long shot. iDrive-controlled infotainment is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. The range extender drones loudly like a cheap generator.
The Bottom Line The 2014 BMW i3 looks and feels like the compact car of the future, but its high price tag will be a huge sticking point for thrifty small-EV drivers.
