With the sedan version now on sale, the new BMW i3 Touring was captured for the first time with its wagon tail on display.

The i3 went on sale in June as BMW’s second Neue Klasse model, following the iX3 SUV. In Germany, the i3 50 xDrive First Edition model starts at €75,340 ($86,400). The standard model is priced at €65,900 ($75,500).

In the UK, the i3 50 xDrive First Edition is available starting at £57,905 ($76,500), on the road. BMW said the standard version would go on sale this autumn, priced from £53,005 ($70,000), OTR.

At least one more variant will join the lineup. After a preview was shown during the i3s debut, the new Touring was captured for the first time.

Although it’s still covered, you can see in the new video from CarSpyMedia that the Touring version has a considerably longer rear end and a sloped roofline that looks more like a wagon than the standard i3 sedan. It’s similar to the Kia EV4 hatchback and fastback models.

The front end is expected to remain the same as the sedan with BMW’s new twin headlights, kidney grille, and redesigned emblem.

Inside, the i3 Touring will share BMW’s Neue Klasse cabin design and infotainment system. The setup includes a 17.9″ floating central infotainment display and a 43″ Panoramic Vision display that spans the base of the windshield.

7 kWh battery, the i3 50 xDrive is among Europe’s longest-range EVs with a WLTP range of up to 566 miles (912 km).
