BMW i4 2026 is a fully electric compact executive car. It sits in the premium midsize segment. The body style is a four door Gran Coupe with a low roofline and liftback rear. BMW positions it as an electric alternative to the 4 Series Gran Coupe.

BMW offers the i4 with multiple battery and motor setups. Battery capacity ranges around 67 kWh to about 81 kWh usable, depending on the version. WLTP range reaches up to roughly 300 miles for efficiency focused trims, while performance variants trade range for power. DC fast charging supports up to 200 kW, enabling a 10 to 80 percent charge in about 30 minutes. AC charging supports up to 11 kW for home and public AC points.

Pricing places the i4 above mass market electric sedans and below larger luxury EVs. It suits buyers who want a sporty driving feel, premium interior, and daily usability without moving to an SUV. Key alternatives include the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2. A direct comparison often points to the Tesla Model 3 Long Range for range and charging network depth.
