Used BMW Hatchback For Sale

BMW hatchbacks are about as common as white peacocks, and if you want to get your hands on one, the only one out there is the i3. This 2-door car has diminutive dimensions and is powered by a fully electric motor. With arguably high pricing compared to similar vehicles in the USA, and questionable levels of luxury and comfort, though, it’s clear why the little hatch didn’t stick around.

What to Consider When Buying a BMW Hatch

Not just in the USA, BMW hatchback cars are a rarity the world over. The German automaker is known for its stately sedans and compelling coupes, so the notion of an electric hatchback is quite unusual. It has quirky looks and a good pedigree, but it’s neither particularly luxurious nor sporty, so what does BMW do to make this little car attractive to buyers?

The exclusivity of a rare specimen
Federal tax credits
Modern infotainment suite
Quick charging time
Good reliability ratings

Cons

High cost for what you get
Driving range could be better
Not the best interior for a product at this price point
Very few customization options

FAQs

What is the price of a new BMW hatch?

Generally speaking, hatch cars are among the more affordable models in a brand's lineup. This is not the case with the BMW i3, which asks for about the same amount of money as a 3 Series hybrid sedan - around $45,000. At least, this was the case when it was sold new. Nowadays, you can only find them on the used market and the price may be lower.

What are the performance specs of the BMW i3?

The small electric car comes equipped with a single motor that develops just 181 horsepower and 199 lb-ft of torque. Combined with its relatively high weight, this gives it a laughable 0-60 mph time of around seven seconds, or eight if you opt for the range extender gas engine, which adds even more weight.

Are BMW hatchback cars fuel efficient?

One of the primary selling points of hatchbacks is their good mileage, and electric cars often improve upon this thanks to their small size and weight. The i3 manages to return 124/102/133 mpg-equivalent city/highway/combined, and while this is good in a vacuum, it’s far from the best in the small EV segment. The low range of 200 miles doesn’t help much either.
