BMW i4

Now, it’s poised to challenge rivals the likes of Tesla Model 3 and the Audi e-tron GT with the new i4. A more style-conscious alternative to the popular American EV, this low-slung four-door heralds a new era for the brand. Boasting up to 600 km of electric range and a full complement of high-tech equipment, the innovative BMW i4 sets new standards in user-friendliness and long-distance suitability.

Bimmer’s i4 all-electric fastback sedan features a flowing coupe-style roofline and a throwback, ‘ducktail’ style boot lid. The refined lines and large aero-efficient alloy wheels give the car a sporty, elegant appearance. Inside, the minimalist cockpit is completely focused on the driver with a large curved display that houses both the digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen. A continuous glass panoramic roof makes the most of the serene tranquility of the drive, denoted only by a visionary electric-sound signature composed by Hans Zimmer.

The new i4 uses BMW’s lighter, more compact, ‘fifth-generation’ eDrive powertrain, for greater efficiency and sleeker packaging. No rare earth materials are used to construct its 523-horsepower electric motor and its 80.0-kWh capacity battery pack uses two-thirds less cobalt than before. Designed to mirror the power of a V8 engine, it can still hit 0-100 km/h in four seconds. Fine-tuning ensures precisely controllable handling in every situation, with exceptional cornering dynamics and optimised traction in all weather and road conditions. In other words, BMW’s new i4 is a high-performing, exceptionally efficient, super-green machine.
