Nissan Micra 2017 vs BMW i3 2017
| Comparing electrical vehicle (EV) with combustion engine (ICE) one is a complex task, but we are doing our best. | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearbox: | Manual | Automatic | |
| Engine: | 0.9 Petrol | 0.6 Hybrid | |
| Petrol engines (Nissan Micra) are generally cheaper to purchase and maintain, with simpler mechanics and consistent highway performance. Hybrid (BMW i3) engines, on the other hand, provide significantly better fuel efficiency and lower emissions, especially in urban and stop-and-go traffic conditions. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 90 HP | 38 HP | |
| Torque: | 140 NM | 56 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 12.1 seconds | 8.1 seconds | |
| Nissan Micra engine produces 52 HP more power than BMW i3, whereas torque is 84 NM more than BMW i3. Despite the higher power, Nissan Micra reaches 100 km/h speed 4 seconds later. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Nissan Micra) 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 | 4.01 m | |
| Width: | 1.74 m | 1.78 m | |
| Height: | 1.46 m | 1.60 m | |
|
Nissan Micra is smaller. Nissan Micra is 1 cm shorter than the BMW i3, 3 cm narrower, while the height of Nissan Micra is 14 cm lower. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | 300 litres | 260 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down |
1004 litres | 1100 litres | |
| Even though the car is shorter, Nissan Micra has 40 litres more trunk space than the BMW i3. The BMW i3 may have more interior space, so the cabin could be more spacious and more comfortable for the driver and passengers. The maximum boot capacity (with all rear seats folded down) is larger in BMW i3 (by 96 litres). | |||
| Turning diameter: | 10.3 meters | 9.9 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Nissan Micra is 0.4 metres more than that of the BMW i3, which means Nissan Micra can be harder to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
