BMW is no alien to electrified vehicles (look at the trendy little i3), and the 2022 i4 sedan adds to the label’s EV lineup. The i4 is a low-slung four-door in the manner of the similarly sized 4-series Gran Coupe and is derived from BMW’s most recognized design, the 3-series. It goes up against the Polestar 2 and the Tesla Model 3.
What Do We Expect?
When it eventually hits markets in early to mid-2022, the BMW i4 will be a brand-new electric car that will compete against the Tesla Model 3 and other mid-size EV sedans.
EV Motor, Performance, And Power
Based on the design, the 2022 i4 sends electrons to one or two electric engines. The eDrive40 has a single rear-axle motor that produces three hundred and thirty-five hp. The M50 has electric motors on each axle that create five hundred and thirty-six hp and five hundred and eighty-six pound-feet of torque and enable the all-wheel drive.
Battery Life, Range, And Charging
BMW claims that the single-motor, rear-drive i4 eDrive40 can go up to three hundred miles on a single charge. The 80.7-kWh battery in the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive M50 is exact, although its alleged span is only two hundred and forty-five miles. The i4 is also believed to have a two hundred -kilowatt charging power, allowing it to add between eighty-eight and one hundred and eight miles in as little as ten minutes. The i4 can recharge its battery from zero to a hundred percent in below eight hours utilizing the Level 2 (up to 11 kW) onboard charger.
Cargo, Interior, And Comfort
The i4’s interior is luxuriously furnished, with rose gold trim, white leather upholstery, and light wood trim options. Although the fundamental design is identical to that of other BMW designs, the i4–along with the fully-electric iX SUV–is the first to include a vast, continuous display that spans nearly two-thirds of the control panel. The four-door i4 features a dramatic rear roofline resembling a coupe, yet it still has a typical trunk.
Connectivity And Infotainment
The i4 is one of the foremost BMWs to come equipped with the firm’s most up-to-date infotainment and connection technologies. It’s called iDrive 8, and a 14.9-inch touchscreen controls it merged with a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel on the control center’s big curved display. The system has enhanced voice commands and a rotary controller in the dashboard, as well as a number of popular details. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot are available features.
Features For Driver Assistance And Safety
The 2022 i4 comes with a wide range of standard and alternative driver-assistance features.
