BMW’s electric 3 Series wagon is getting closer to reality, with a new spy video capturing the i3 Touring testing ahead of its expected debut next year. As the first electric 3 Series wagon, it will bring a completely fresh design language to a long-roof body style, giving buyers a practical alternative to the seemingly unstoppable SUV invasion.
The prototype was spotted testing near the Nürburgring, wearing camouflage at both ends. However, the disguise hides little now, suggesting BMW is getting closer to the final design. Logic tells us the front end should look virtually identical to the i3 Sedan, as BMW will likely carry it over to keep costs down. The changes occur from the B-pillar rearward to accommodate the longer roof and redesigned tailgate, giving the wagon its own identity.
