Reviewers generally praise the i3 REx for its agile, responsive handling in urban environments and its distinctive, sustainably sourced interior materials. The cabin refinement and build quality draw consistent approval, though the compact proportions limit rear-seat comfort. Some reviewers note the range-extender engine adds useful flexibility, while others flag the overall value proposition given the premium pricing relative to interior space.
