BMW iNext EV to get 435 miles of range, goes on sale in 2021

BMW

revealed the iNext concept nearly two years ago. That car was an ultra-stylized preview of a car that’s coming in 2021. At this week’s

Detroit Auto Show

,

Motor Trend reports

that the iNext

EV

will have

435

miles of range when it goes on sale. That’s far more than both the 238-mile range of the

Chevy

Bolt or even the 295 miles of range from the

Tesla Model X

100D. We don’t know exactly what form factor the iNext will take, but the concept suggests the car will be a sleek

crossover

.

The iNext follows the same general theme as the other BMW i vehicles, the

i3

and

i8

. Like those two, the iNext should make extensive use of carbon fiber in an effort to shave weight. The battery-electric version of the i3 gets 114 miles of range while the performance-oriented i8 only gets 18 miles of all-electric range. BMW has also promised to bring SAE Level 3 and Level 4 autonomous driving technology to the iNext.

Further details remain scarce, but look for further concepts sometime soon.
