And since we are in the area of the trunk, enter inland through it. It has 620 liters capacity, and although one of the novelties of the 2010 version is that a third row of seats in the area of the boot (2,442 euros) is offered as an option, this testing unit not brought it.

Thus, these 620 liters of capacity are divided between area located on the floor of the luggage compartment, and a large compartment below. Simply lift the lid and find a space equivalent to the spare wheel (carries RunOnFlat tires), which take account of its size, is sufficient to save too much luggage.

Posted on March 25, 2013 by John

We have already spoken of the BMW i3, which will be the first electric (and front) of the Bavarian brand. Its range on a single charge, will be between 130 and 160 kilometers, according to Kellner said Maximilian, product manager of the sub-brand BMW i. But there is more. It will have two operating modes for Eco autonomy can be up to 220 kilometers:

EcoPro: delivery reduces torque and power used by systems such as climate control. With this energy saving adds 20 km range.

EcoPro +: Shut down all systems that use electricity less safety-related (such as ABS or ESC) to gain another 40 km of autonomy.

A twin engine, located in the trunk, will be connected to a generator to convert the i3 in extended range electric, like the Chevrolet Volt we tested. Autonomy would increase to 350 kilometers (few compared to the Volt or its twin Opel Ampera). Continue reading →
