BMW i4 (2026) 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 a fully electric version of the 4 Series Gran Coupe, designed for buyers seeking an electric car that maintains traditional BMW styling, quality, and driving dynamics. The line-up comprises three powertrains: the entry-level eDrive35 with a 67.1kWh battery offering 299 miles of range, the mid-range eDrive40 with an 81.1kWh battery delivering 365 miles, and the high-performance M60 with dual motors, four-wheel drive, and a 3.7-second 0-62mph time. All models combine sharp handling with hushed, comfortable motorway cruising, making the i4 one of the best driver's cars in the executive electric class.

Practicality is adequate for four adults, though rear legroom is limited and the sloping roofline can feel cramped for taller passengers. The 470-litre boot with hatchback opening and 40:20:40 folding rear seats suits most family needs, though bulky items may be tight. Running costs are excellent if you can charge at home on an off-peak tariff, bringing cost-per-mile into single figures. However, the i4 is expensive to purchase, and whilst standard equipment has improved, you'll likely need to explore the options list. Insurance and VED are pricey, though BMW's three-year unlimited-mileage warranty and eight-year/100,000-mile battery cover provide reassurance.

Best for: Drivers prioritising engaging handling and comfort, those with home charging capability, and buyers seeking a premium electric saloon with genuine driving appeal.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those requiring maximum rear-seat space, or drivers relying solely on public charging networks.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the i4 if: You prioritise engaging handling and comfort, have home charging capability, and seek a premium electric saloon with genuine driving appeal.

Consider alternatives if: You are budget-conscious, require maximum rear-seat space, or rely solely on public charging networks.

Competitive Position: The BMW i4 is the most complete and satisfying mid-size executive electric car available. It offers superior driving dynamics and a more polished ride and handling than the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2, with a better driving position and more rewarding experience overall. Whilst the Kia EV6 matches its user rating and offers better value, the i4's premium interior quality and engaging character make it the standout choice for discerning drivers willing to pay the premium. Its higher percentage of good/great deals (37.2%) also demonstrates strong market positioning.
