Re: EV Thread
I think they're ugly as sin! But, at least they're different - and different is better than boring!
Re: EV Thread
I don't think I've seen one IRL, but that looks pretty interesting. And single motor = RWD, so dab of oppo and you'll be away.
Re: EV Thread
no it isn't, it's 200kg MORE than the current 530i.
1833kg

Re: EV Thread
It's surely far smaller than a 5 series.
Almost 200kg more than a dual motor Model 3 (ignoring the single motor Model 3 because it has a smaller battery).
Edit, recently discontinued Model 3 long range RWD was 1735kg

How about not having a sig at all?
Re: EV Thread
They only sell hybrids 530's in the UK at 2080kg your figures are US market.
At 1910kg the RWD Inonic6 is not noteworthy of being heavy for a car of its size.
ETA they are similar in size 5m long, 3m wheelbase and 2m wide.

Re: EV Thread
Parkers quotes the 330e at 1770kg, and 1540kg for the no longer available 530i
Re: EV Thread
530 is a phev now as is the merc e300 at 2210kg.
I'm not here to argue on the internet just pointing out it's not any heavier than an ICE equivalent.

Re: EV Thread
Indeed, it's not light, but for it's spec it's certainly not considered heavy. I'm not looking for EVO driving, just a nice car to waft about in. Genuine 300mile range and reasonable performance, and it's different/interesting to look at. And cheap PCH.
Re: EV Thread
The point of raising the weight was in response to Mik implying that it might be a RWD fun drifter. Hence it was replying to his post.
Re: EV Thread
which is a perfectly reasonable outlook!!
Re: EV Thread
Yeah, as the 'domestic appliance' car, it's reputedly very nicely put together, comfy, quiet - basically what you want out of a daily, and I quite like the slightly out there design, myself.
Re: EV Thread
I think so. I wasn't looking for argument either, and it'll be open diff style axle anyway so dorifto not looking likely unless I get over confident in fast wet roadsRich B wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 5:58 pmwhich is a perfectly reasonable outlook!!
