BMW i3 2013 vs Hyundai i20 2012
| Comparing electrical vehicle (EV) with combustion engine (ICE) one is a complex task, but we are doing our best. | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Manual | |
| Engine: | 0.6 Hybrid | 1.1 Diesel | |
| Hybrid engines (BMW i3) excel in urban environments with superior fuel efficiency and lower emissions during stop-and-go driving. Diesel engines (Hyundai i20), however, are more fuel-efficient on long highway trips and provide greater torque for towing and heavy loads. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 38 HP | 75 HP | |
| Torque: | 56 NM | 180 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 7.9 seconds | 15.9 seconds | |
| BMW i3 engine produces 37 HP less power than Hyundai i20, whereas torque is 124 NM less than Hyundai i20. Despite less power, BMW i3 reaches 100 km/h speed 8 seconds faster. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Consumption: | 0.6 l/100km + 13.5 kWh/100km | 3.2 l/100km | |
| Fuel cost per 100km: | 5.20 € | 6.00 € | |

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Hyundai i20) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (BMW i3) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 4.00 m | 4.00 m | |
| Width: | 1.78 m | 1.71 m | |
| Height: | 1.58 m | 1.49 m | |
|
BMW i3 is larger. BMW i3 and Hyundai i20 are practically the same length. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | 260 litres | 295 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down, if possible |
1100 litres | 1060 litres | |
| BMW i3 has 35 litres less trunk space than the Hyundai i20. The maximum boot capacity (with all rear seats folded down) is larger in BMW i3 (by 40 litres). | |||
| Turning diameter: | 9.9 meters | 10.4 meters | |
| The turning circle of the BMW i3 is 0.5 metres less than that of the Hyundai i20, which means BMW i3 can be easier to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
| Gross weight: | 1`730 kg | 1`635 kg | |
| Net weight: | 1`315 kg | 1`080 kg | |
| Load capacity: | 415 kg | 555 kg | |
| BMW i3 load capacity (permitted cargo and passenger weight) is par apmēram 34 procentiem less than Hyundai i20. Therefore, Hyundai i20 is more suitable for longer family trips or transporting heavier loads. | |||
