The prototype version of the car has been spotted multiple times but without the camouflage on top of it, it looks like the large kidney grille is being retained. Coming across a BMW vehicle without one is a rare feat and it is obvious that they would want to retain the design for the new age all-electric cars. The front bumper is inspired by the BMW i variants offering it the best aerodynamic levels possible combined with a wide tailgate and definitive tail lights.
Based on the initial information available, it looks like BMW is going for three different variants to focus on different aspects of the market. The power delivery will vary from a base level of 300 horsepower to a high level 600 horsepower which will be the more expensive solution. With large batteries and better weight management, the 2021 BMW iNext is expected to easily deliver about 400 kilometers on a full charge. An additional upgrade could push it further to 600 kilometers making it great for long drives. The cars are expected to be available in November next year.
