2019 BMW 3-Series vs. Tesla Model 3
If you’re a vehicle enthusiast, you’ve undoubtedly heard the name Tesla thrown around. The unique thing about the brand is that it produced an extremely appealing all-electric car, and it gathered a lot of buzz in the process. While that may be the case, BMW is right up there as far as innovation and it seems like the two brands may be in direct competition. The German brand has created a wide variety of electric models, many of which have offered high mileage from a battery-powered source. If you’re curious what happens when we put the 2019 BMW 3-Series electric model vs. Tesla Model 3, read on.
Features of the electric BMW 3-Series
BMW is no stranger to utilizing electricity – the current goal is just to make the electric models even more efficient. In order to do this, the brand will be integrating a lighter carbon fiber body (as seen in the 7 Series and i3 electric car). Along with the lighter body, it is expected that the new BMW will go head-to-head with the features that Tesla’s Model 3 offers. Details on the electric range, drive systems and more should be released closer to the model’s production.
When will the all-electric 3 Series be released?
While it can’t be pinpointed exactly yet, the release date of the all-new BMW electric 3-Series shouldn’t be too far off. Tesla plans to produce the Model 3 later in 2017, which is when we’d expect BMW to begin production on the competition. If that’s the case, we should be able to expect the new model sometime in 2018, badged as a 2019 model.
If it’s too long of a wait for the prospective 2019 BMW 3-Series, Autos of Dallas offers a wide variety of BMW models on the lot. Be sure to stop by for a test drive in a conventionally-powered 3-Series or another luxury model that may interest you.
