Autobild compares the BMW i3 against the Nissan Leaf and VW e-Golf. Autobild reveals that the i3 had the longest driving range in the test: 105 miles from a 22 kWh battery pack. The e-Golf followed with 102.5 miles from a 24.2 kWh battery pack. The Leaf came in last with 90 miles (24 kWh battery).
Out of the three, the i3 also tested as being “the most green†with 12.8 kWh per 100 kilometers. CO2 output is rated at 74 g/km on a regular electricity mix. The e-Golf and Leaf followed in that order.
Inside the cabin, at 130 km/h, the VW e-Golf recorded 68 decibels of cabin noise, while the i3 and Leaf reported 70 db.
Interesting enough, the e-Golf comes on top at the end of this comprehensive test drive.
