In the face of the new energy trend, the attitude of independent brand car companies is very positive, the speed of product change is also very fast. In overseas brands, the pace of the German and U.S. system is also relatively fast, one of the representative car companies in the German system is BMW, whose new energy vehicle product line also belongs to the first echelon of German cars; U.S. system, Tesla no doubt also has a very high representative. Today's comparison link, we also find BMW, Tesla's respective representative models, they are BMW i3, Tesla Model 3, we also come today to see this German, the United States pure electric car competition, who will win？
From the basic information, BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 are positioned as medium-sized sedan, the former guide price range of 353,900-413,900 yuan, including 2023 models guide price range of 383,900-413,900 yuan; Tesla Model 3 full series guide price range of 229,900-329,900 yuan. From the price point of view, Tesla Model 3's threshold is indeed lower, while BMW i3 also maintains the "dignity" of the luxury brand.
BMW i3 exterior traditional, Model 3 exterior simple
In today's comparison, we directly choose the top models of two cars for comparison, namely BMW i3 2023 eDrive40L Obsidian Sport PacVictory, Tesla Model 3 2022 Performance All-Wheel Drive Edition (hereinafter referred to as: BMW i3, Tesla Model 3), the two also have some price difference, but for more than 300,000 yuan pure electric car consumers, the middle of the price difference is more than 200,000 yuan. But for more than 300,000 pure electric car consumers, the price difference in between we may also be able to accept, let's take the above two models as an example, to see who is more "all-round" two cars.
At the appearance level, perhaps due to the different tones of BMW and Tesla, the appearance styles of BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 are also very different in the final product presentation. The BMW i3's design is more traditional, and the overall design can meet the aesthetics of the public. The front of the car adopts a "double kidney" grille, which is highly recognizable. At the same time, the BMW i3's headlight cluster adopts a 3D three-dimensional design, and it supports turning headlights and adaptive high and low beam functions. On the side, the BMW i3's proportions are also coordinated, and the rear-wheel-drive stance looks elegant. At the rear, the BMW i3 still has a strong sense of three-dimensionality, and the "ducktail" design enhances the overall fashion sense.
The design of Tesla Model 3 is very simple, the car as a whole more prominent sense of technology. The front part of the car, Tesla Model 3 design is very simple, and the large size of the light group also looks quite dynamic. The side of the car, Tesla Model 3 body proportion is slightly more compact, but the frameless doors still look pretty cool. The rear part of the car, Tesla Model 3 adopts a sliding back design, with the rear of the car "small duck tail" design, can also enhance the overall sense of movement. In terms of appearance, BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 have their own advantages, so let's leave it to you to judge who looks good.
BMW i3 interior is better than Tesla Model 3
The interior of the BMW i3 and the Tesla Model 3 still have very different styles, and this part is also worth talking about in detail. BMW i3's interior layout is relatively neat, the car also uses a suspended "duplex curved screen" layout, with the paddle electronic gear knob, can enhance the sense of technology inside, the entity button can enhance the convenience of blind operation. At the same time, BMW i3 adopts the layout of dual color interior, with a large number of leather and metal materials, which can directly enhance the sense of class inside. In addition, the BMW i3 adopts the "M" sports steering wheel design, which also has a better grip.
The interior layout of Tesla Model 3 is both neat and indirect. The lines of its center console are simple, and with the suspended center screen, it is able to enhance the sense of technology inside. At the same time, the Tesla Model 3 eliminates the design of the instrument panel and the vehicle information is integrated into the center console screen, which requires some adaptation. In addition, Tesla Model 3 adopts the design of "pocket gear", which also leaves more storage space for the front row. As for the material, the Tesla Model 3 is made of leather and tumbled leather, and the texture is still good. In terms of the interior, perhaps because I am more traditional, I personally will appreciate the BMW i3 design.
Are the BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 configurations worth the price?
The next thing we need to do is to quantify and compare the product power of the BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3, after all, the hard power is more likely to affect your car purchase decision. Let's talk about the configuration first. For BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 at this price point, the configuration is the key part to enhance competitiveness, so let's also compare them in detail. Human-computer interaction level, BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 are equipped with car networking system, OTA upgrade function, both also support voice interaction, cell phone APP control, but BMW i3 more CarPlay, CarLife cell phone screen cast function, and the car is equipped with Harman Kardon audio. Relatively speaking, the BMW i3 can better meet the needs of different consumers.
Active safety and intelligent driving level, BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 are equipped with active braking function, while Tesla Model 3 is equipped with L2 level intelligent driving function, BMW i3 is only L1 level, but the car has more automatic parking and own car function, Tesla Model 3 needs to be installed as an option. At the same time, BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 both support the optional automatic lane change assist function, and the overall performance of both is not bad; at the conventional configuration level, BMW i3 has more HUD head-up display and multi-color ambient light, and Tesla Model 3 has more heated steering wheel and electric tailgate. Overall, I think the overall configuration of the BMW i3 actually has a small advantage, but the performance of the Tesla Model 3 is also very good.
As a mid-size sedan, the BMW i3 has more space
Space session, for the BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 two mid-sized sedan, space is also the part that can not get around. From the size point of view, the BMW i3's length, height and wheelbase have a significant advantage, while the Tesla Model 3 has an advantage in width small. Reflecting on the specific space, for example, after adjusting the front seats of BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 respectively, in the back row of BMW i3, the head space of the experience is four fingers and the leg space is two fists, while the head space of Tesla Model 3 is three fingers and the leg space is one fist. In comparison, the BMW i3 will have some advantages in space.
At the seat function level, both BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 front seats support electric adjustment, but BMW i3 has extra legrest adjustment, and its support will be better. However, the Tesla Model 3 has an extra seat heating function, and the BMW i3 also supports the option, so this part of their performance has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Rear function level, BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 are equipped with a central armrest, charging interface, but BMW i3 is equipped with independent rear air conditioning, can individually adjust the air volume, wind speed, Tesla Model 3 is only equipped with air conditioning vents, but the car and more seat heating function, the two are also considered to have a fight back and forth.
At the trunk level, the BMW i3 has a trunk volume of 410L and the Tesla Model 3 has a volume of 425L, but the Tesla Model 3 has an extra front trunk. At the same time, the Tesla Model 3's rear seatbacks support proportional down, its expansion ability will have some advantages.
Tesla Model 3 power and range more advantageous
Power and range part, for the pure electric car, this is the part that we are more concerned about, at the same time this is also the BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 differences between the larger part, let's also talk in detail. Power level, BMW i3 is equipped with a rear motor, Tesla Model 3 is equipped with a front motor, the former is a standard rear-drive car, the latter actually also belongs to the "rear-drive characteristics", theoretically both can provide good driving pleasure. In the final product presentation, BMW i3 can achieve 5.6 seconds to break 100, Tesla Model 3 can achieve 3.3 seconds to break 100, the former's power performance is quite good, the latter is more powerful.
In terms of range, the BMW i3 is equipped with a 79.05kWh battery pack, and its pure electric range is 592km under CLTC conditions, which is quite outstanding; the Tesla Model 3 is equipped with a 78.4kWh battery pack, and its pure electric range is 675km under CLTC conditions, which is still a small advantage over the BMW i3. In short, the BMW i3's power and range are sufficient, but the Tesla Model 3 still has some advantages.
The chassis, as mentioned earlier, the BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 belong to the "rear-drive characteristics" of the model, the two will theoretically have a good driving pleasure, let's also look at the chassis performance of the two cars. The BMW i3 uses a combination of link strut - rear multi-link independent suspension, while equipped with rear axle air suspension, anti-roll bar, Tesla Model 3 uses a front double-wishbone - rear multi-link independent suspension, the suspension hardware of both are not bad. During the driving process, I can feel that both BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 have strong support, and when cornering quickly and merging at high speed, both cars have relatively little roll, which can bring stronger confidence. However, because the BMW i3 is equipped with air suspension, it can better enhance the comfort of the rear ride, which also belongs to the car's advantage, while the suspension of the Tesla Model 3 is relatively hard and lacks some comfort.
Summary: From the perspective of product power, BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 each have their own advantages, such as power and range level, Tesla Model 3 performs better, but BMW i3 is also enough; handling level, BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 both perform well, but BMW i3 can take into account the comfort; configuration level, BMW i3 and Tesla Model 3 each have their own good. As for space, the BMW i3 has slightly better ride space and comfort, while the Tesla Model 3 has slightly better practicality. In summary, I think the BMW i3 is a pure electric car for home use, while the Tesla Model 3 is more like a "big toy", compared to the BMW i3, I think the product power of the BMW i3 is more balanced, and the car will be more suitable for the public consumers.
