Meet the BMW i4. The German firm’s latest EV is more conservative than its first, but also more appealing.
After entering the modern electric car era with the radical i3 hatchback, BMW is dialing things back a bit. The 2022 BMW i4 isn’t as radical as the i3, but it may also appeal to a wider audience.
Instead of a dedicated platform, the i4 uses the same body shell as the gasoline BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe, which in turn is a four-door version of the BMW 4 Series coupe and convertible. The result is an electric vehicle with dimensions fairly close to the BMW 3 Series, the Bavarian automaker’s signature product. By offering an electric alternative, BMW is showing that it’s serious about electric vheicles (EVs).
The i4’s closest rivals are the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2, as both are electric four-doors from premium brands. Most of BMW’s traditional rivals, such as Audi and Mercedes-Benz, are focusing on electric crossover SUVs and more expensive sedans for now. The Porsche Taycan is positioned above the i4 in price and performance aspirations.
As with other BMW models, the i4 launches in multiple configurations based on its drivetrain rather than conventional trim levels. The single-motor rear-wheel drive (RWD) BMW i4 eDrive40 is the base model, and the one we test drove for this review. Buyers looking for more power can upgrade to the dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) i4 M50, which is featured in our video review, above.
4.7 Overall rating
(8 reviews)Beautiful car. Disappointed that the seats are manually controlled, not electric; also the back window is too small, and most of that is blocked by 3 headrests.
Love this car! First electric vehicle I have ever owned and was very apprehensive. However, I drove it from the dealership in NC back home to Little Rock AR and launched into this new endeavor head first. Bottom line. I love this car already! The BMW i4 controls all operate like a normal vehicle and drives like a regular car. Pretty much the only difference is you fill with electricity instead of liquid gas. Other than that you would think you are driving a normal 4series BMW. It is absolutely amazing! I have the M50 model and this thing has unbelievable torque and power. Can’t say enough about my new BMW purchase.
Absolutely amazing and beautiful car!! Fully loaded with shadow line package and ambient lighting. Quality is exceptional!! Smoothiest ride ever
The 2022 BMW i4 is a great looking car that is fun to drive. I drove the loaded edrive40 model and it had tons of features including automatic parking, assisted drive adaptive cruise control, drive video recorder, and plenty of power. Inside and out it has the expected BMW build quality with perfect fit and finish. The car is the iconic BMW 4 Gran Couple, but with no internal combustion engine. The car looks and drives like a BMW should and I think its a keeper!
We test drove the BMW I4. The car felt a bit heavy and you could feel the weight right away. But once you get over that feeling the smooth ride and acceleration take over. When I pressed the pedal down in sport plus, I think I gave my wife whiplash! Great ride, a little noisy, very nimble,
