Overview

  • The Touring estate was confirmed by CEO Oliver Zipse during the i3 sedan reveal as an addition aimed at business and family buyers.
  • The Neue Klasse platform brings 800‑volt architecture, Gen6 46xx round cells and claimed peak charging of up to 400 kW.
  • BMW cites a 109 kWh pack and a WLTP range near 900 km for the sedan, with the Touring expected to come in slightly lower due to weight and aero.
