BMW i4 is a fully electric sedan from BMW. It sits in the compact executive segment. The body style is a four door fastback with a low roofline and long wheelbase. It targets drivers who want an electric car with traditional sedan proportions.

BMW offers the i4 with battery sizes up to about 84 kWh usable. WLTP range reaches roughly 300 to 360 miles depending on variant and wheel setup. Real world mixed driving often lands lower. DC fast charging peaks around 200 kW, adding close to 80 percent charge in about 30 minutes. AC charging supports up to 11 kW.

Pricing places the i4 above mainstream electric sedans and below large luxury EVs. It suits buyers who value handling, interior quality, and rear or all wheel drive options. Key alternatives include the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2. A direct comparison often points to the Tesla Model 3 Long Range due to similar size and performance.
