Subcompact Hatchback · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.
The 2018 BMW i3 is a subcompact hatchback we track across the used market in Canada. It's rated at about 246 km of electric range, so the real questions are price, charging and how it holds value. A 4-year-old one keeps roughly 79% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.
