BMW i3 review: engaging to drive, but rivals are more practical

The new BMW i3 is particularly convincing behind the wheel. Its controls, agility and comfort make the electric hatchback enjoyable to drive, while the cabin stands out for its design and perceived quality.

The downside is practicality: some competitors provide more room and greater flexibility for passengers and luggage. The i3 is therefore an appealing choice for buyers seeking a refined and dynamic EV, but less so for those who place cabin space at the top of their list.
