JAKARTA - BMW has prepared a number of its newest models based on the Neue Classe concept with pure electric drive (EV).

Furthermore, this automotive manufacturer from Germany was seen several times testing the concept for models such as iX3 or X3 according to i3 or EV versions from Series-3.

In order to expand the lineup of electric vehicles in the future, BMW intends to present one of the entry-level models with the name i2 or Series-2 version of EV.

Quoted from Motor1, Monday, May 5, the model to be named i2 is different from the current Series-2. Not only changes in the design and driving side, this car also has a pure four-door style.

The car will be positioned as one of BMW's entry-level EVs, side by side with future i1 hatchbacks.

The report also states that BMW i2 will not be rolled out to the market until 2030. This means that the manufacturer still has plenty of time to develop this sedan within about 5 years of its launch.

When i2 goes on sale, the car will use the sixth-generation battery technology developed by BMW.

The new package uses cylindrical-shaped cells, which the automaker claims can increase the range and charging speed by 30 percent while producing less emissions during the production process.

According to the report, the new i2 will not replace the gasoline-powered Series-2 coupe car. However, the company is also suspected of having no plans to launch a replacement with an ICE engine.

This means that there is a potential that BMW will soon end the existence of an entry-level high-performance sedan, namely the M2 which is quite popular with automotive fans.
