BMW i4 (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Rewarding and comfortable to drive	Not as well equipped as some rivals
High-quality interior	Rear-seat space could be better
M60 offers explosive performance	Expensive to buy

Quick Summary

The BMW i4 is an electric version of the 4 Series Gran Coupe, designed for those who want an EV with the familiar feel and quality of a traditional BMW. It’s available with three powertrains, from the entry-level eDrive35 with a 299-mile range to the high-performance, all-wheel-drive M60. While it offers smart styling and four-door access, its practicality is compromised by a sloping roofline and less rear passenger space than SUV-style rivals like the Kia EV6. The 470-litre boot is useful but shallow.

Where the i4 excels is its driving experience, offering a precise, responsive, and comfortable ride that sets it apart from rivals like the Tesla Model 3. The cabin is a high-quality environment, dominated by a large curved display, though some competitors offer more standard equipment for the price. Running costs can be very low if you can charge at home, but the initial purchase price is high, and it is subject to the expensive car VED supplement. Still, for a premium feel and engaging drive, it's hard to beat.

Best for: Drivers who prioritise an engaging and premium driving experience in an EV and appreciate BMW's traditional interior quality and sporty feel.

Not ideal for: Buyers who need maximum rear passenger and boot space, are on a strict budget, or want the highest level of standard equipment for the money.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the i4 if: You want an EV that prioritises a rewarding driving experience, premium interior quality, and the feel of a traditional sports saloon.

Consider alternatives if: You need more rear passenger space, are on a tight budget, or expect generous standard equipment for the price.

Competitive Position: The BMW i4 is the driver's choice in the premium electric saloon class, offering a more engaging and comfortable drive than key rivals like the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2. This focus on driving dynamics and interior quality comes at a higher price and with less practicality than SUV-style alternatives, but for those seeking the most complete and satisfying electric driver's car, the i4 is a top contender.
