BMW i3 Specifications

Engine type in car refers to the type of engine that powers the vehicle. There are many different types of car engines, but the most common are petrol (gasoline) and diesel engines

Power dictates the performance of an engine. It's measured in horsepower (bhp) or metric horsepower (PS). More is better.

The load-carrying ability of an engine, measured in Newton-metres (Nm) or pound-foot (lb-ft). More is better.

Bore is the diameter of the cylinder, and stroke is the distance that the piston travels from the top of the cylinder to the bottom. Multiplying these two figures gives you the cubic capacity (cc) of an engine.

The maximum speed a car can be driven at. It indicates its performance capability.

The rate at which the car can increase its speed from a standstill. It is a key performance indicator.

The mechanism by which the car's steering operates, such as manual, power-assisted, or electric. It affecting driving ease.

The shaft that connects the steering wheel to the rest of the steering system to help maneouvre the car.

Specifies the type of mechanism used to turn the car's wheels, such as rack and pinion or recirculating ball. Affects the feel of the steering.

The width of a car is the horizontal distance between the two outermost points of the car, typically measured at the widest point of the car, such as the wheel wells or the rearview mirrors

The height of a car is the vertical distance between the ground and the highest point of the car. It can decide how much space a car has along with it's body type and is also critical in determining it's ability to fit in smaller garages or parking spaces

The maximum number of people that can legally and comfortably sit in a car.

Distance between the centre of the front and rear wheels. Affects the car’s stability & handling .

The distance from the centre of the left tyre to the centre of the right tyre of a four-wheeler's front wheels. Also known as front track. The relation between the front and rear tread/track numbers decides a cars stability.

The distance from the centre of the left tyre to the centre of the right tyre of a fourwheeler's rear wheels. Also known as Rear Track. The relation between the front and rear Tread/Track numbers dictates a cars stability

Weight of the car without passengers or cargo. Affects performance, fuel efficiency, and suspension behaviour.

Vertical space in the rear of a car from the seat to the roof. More rear headroom means taller passengers have ample space above their heads, enhancing comfort.

Vertical space in the front of a car from the seat to the roof. More headroom means more space for the front passenger and driver.
