You're looking at a 3 Series that strongly resembles the coupe, albeit
with less trunk space once you're storing that metal roof during the summer weather.
For the pleasure of my green smile, I have a vehicle
with less trunk space, a limited cruising range, maybe by half?
It may not have a big engine or a lot of cargo space (3 cubic
feet less trunk space than the gasoline model), but it does have something that no other four - door sedan has: a 50 mpg city EPA rating.
Because of the batteries, the hybrid also has
slightly less trunk space: 13.3 cubic feet compared with 15.1 for the standard model.
By switching to lithium - ion batteries, there's
less trunk space lost (four cubic feet out of 16) and the rear seats fold flat, allowing a pass - through so you can take the 55 - inch flat panel TV home with you instead of paying for delivery.
Also, I would suspect that the Buick's battery would be smaller than the Accord's and
take less trunk space.
The torque figure from the engine remains the same at 154 lb - ft, as does the electric motor at 151 lb - ft, however, the lithium - polymer battery pack now has more capacity and takes up
less trunk space resulting in more torque overall to 235 lb - ft combined, from 195 lb - ft.
We rarely put this stroller in the car as we have other options that are easier to travel with and take up
less trunk space.
The car's lithium - ion battery pack is also physically smaller, so it takes up
less trunk space than in the last Accord Hybrid.
Hybrid models, however, have
less trunk space: 11.6 cubic feet.
I probably would have bought the hybrid except that it has 1/3
less trunk space.
The result is plenty of leg room for your friends and family, but
less trunk space than some competitors.
