The BMW i4 electric sedan is not immune to the upward price movement in the automotive industry
Here too, a single engine is on the program, and it channels its power exclusively to the rear wheels. We’re talking about 281 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque – figures slightly lower than a BMW 3 Series plug-in hybrid. Acceleration from 1 to 100 km/h takes six seconds, according to BMW.
The battery that powers the BMW I4 eDrive35 is also smaller. Instead of 83.9 kWh, its capacity is reduced to 70.2 kWh, of which 66 kWh is usable. It can draw up to 180 kW from a direct current fast terminal or 11 kW from a level 2 alternating current terminal. With the first option, 32 minutes are enough to recharge the battery from 10 to 80%. As for the available autonomy, it is estimated by BMW at 418 km, identical to the Polestar 2 2023 with all-wheel drive.
