During our 200-mile highway fuel-economy test, the roadster delivered 35 MPGe and went for 22 miles on electricity alone. The i8's EPA fuel-economy ratings are unimpressive among hybrids but still better than most sports cars. View Photos of the 2019 BMW i8 Roadster.The ride is surprisingly civil and bumps in the road are felt, but never harshly. We'd prefer more feedback, especially in a vehicle with sporting intentions. The i8 suffers from the same light steering that we've criticized in many current BMWs. However, it's not the fastest supercar on the block: The 2019 i8 roadster we tested sprinted from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. The trio of power sources combines for a total of 369 horsepower, capable of driving all four wheels. It mates a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder gas engine with an 11.6-kWh battery pack and two electric motors. EV Motor, Power, and PerformanceīMW offers a single powertrain in the i8. Those looking to maximize the i8's wow factor should consider adding the adaptive LED headlights with what BMW calls Laserlight. Most exterior colors are no-cost options except for the Crystal White paint with blue or grey accents. However, we'd spice things up with the Tera World package that brings ceramic controls, black brake calipers, blue seatbelts, and an exclusive brown interior. Every model has niceties such as leather upholstery, a head-up display, heated front seats, a Harman/Kardon sound system, and Apple CarPlay integration. With standard all-wheel drive and only one powertrain, those decisions are already made for you. We'd pony up the extra cash for the open-air driving experience that is only available with the 2020 i8 roadster.
