BMW brings back the i3 as a funky four-door EV

BMW’s new i3 isn’t a reboot of the quirky yet beloved electric hatchback. It’s more of a retcon, built on the automaker’s Neue Klasse platform.

"One of the lingering problems for the EX30 was that it wasn’t as affordable as originally billed. When it was first announced in 2023, Volvo said the price would start at $34,950, positioning it as the smaller, less expensive EV that many people were clamoring for.

"But politics intervened, and Volvo was forced to delay the EX30’s arrival in the US until 2025, citing newly leveled tariffs against vehicles built in China. Eventually, the model that went on sale in the US started at $44,900, which last I checked was significantly more than $34,950."
