BMW's electric vehicle expansion is gathering pace as the first images of the highly anticipated i3 Touring have emerged. Just one month after the automotive world caught its first glimpse of the sedan version, spy photographers have captured the long-roof variant undergoing testing.
A Distinctive Silhouette
The latest sightings confirm that BMW is staying true to its heritage by offering a practical wagon—or 'Touring'—version of its upcoming electric 3 Series equivalent. The images clearly display the extended roofline and the classic wagon rear end, which remains a staple for the German automaker despite the global shift toward SUVs.
While the vehicle remains under camouflage, it is expected to share its core architecture and powertrain options with the i3 sedan. This move aligns with BMW's strategy to provide versatile electric options for enthusiasts who prefer the driving dynamics of a lower-slung car combined with the utility of a larger cargo area.
