BMW i3 wins What Car? ‘Green Car’ of 2014 award

The BMW i3 gets one more award up its sleeve by winning the What Car? ‘Green Car’ of 2014. The judges praised the BMW i3 for its hot hatch pace and handling, thoughtful use of renewable energies and recycled materials as well its good appeal, and creating a fun electric car that the world has never experienced before.

Chas Hallett, What Car? editor-in-chief, said: “The i3 proves that electric motoring needn’t be pious. It suits the town roads where it will spend its life, but it offers fun and performance too.”

The BMW 4 Series Coupé also won the What Car? ‘Best Coupé’ 2014 award — replacing the 3 Series Coupé. The judges praised the 435i Coupé for its gorgeous looks, engaging drive and beautiful cabin.

Chas Hallett, What Car? editor-in-chief, said: “A coupé is a car that should make you feel special – and the BMW 435i will definitely do that.”
