    BMW i8 expert review

    CarDekho Experts
    The BMW i8 flaunts the looks of a supercar, offers the thrills of a performance sports car and is as clean as a Toyota Prius!

    Overview

    Available in a single variant, the BMW i8 is priced at Rs 2.62 crore (ex-showroom India).

    Verdict

    With a hefty sticker price, the BMW i8 is certainly not a logical buy. It is rather about the statement you make with this forerunner of future performance motoring, which will be fun as well as efficient and greener.

    Pros & Cons of BMW i8

    Things We Like

    • Futuristic styling makes it stand out in front of more capable and similarly priced supercars
    • The BMW i8 is not only fast but extremely frugal as well, with a nearly 50kmpl certified fuel efficiency figure
    • Significantly green compared to other performance as well as regular cars with combined CO2 emissions of 50.369g/km
    View More

    Things We Don't Like

    • Given the exclusivity the i8 holds, BMW should’ve featured exclusive parts on the inside as it has several common components from the BMW parts bin
    • The exorbitant price tag makes it fall into better-performing supercar territory

      The Future That Arrived Early
      The BMW i8 isn't just a car; it's a statement. From the moment you lay eyes on it, the futuristic scissor doors, sleek aerodynamic lines, and low-slung stance whisper that this machine was designed to turn heads long before electric and hybrid sports cars became mainstream.If you want a machine that blends luxury, innovation, and pure thrill, the BMW i8 is not just a choice it?'s a masterpiece.
