Overview

The BMW i4 xDrive40 (2024-…) is an all-electric all-wheel drive liftback. It came out in 2024. Brand new, the car starts around $62,300. The car is not available on the US market.

The BMW i4 xDrive40 (2024-…) has a 83.9 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 277 mi on a single charge — ranked №290 out of 911 electric vehicles.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The BMW i4 xDrive40 (2024-…) achieves a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 4.9 seconds (placing it at №33 out of 118 ranked positions, among 911 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and attains a maximum speed of 124 mph.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 295 kW (396 hp) and a torque of 443 lb-ft.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

BMW i4 xDrive40 (2024-…) achieves a real-world range of 277 miles, placing it at №94 among 257 ranked positions. However, this range is subject to several influences:

Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The BMW i4 xDrive40 (2024-…) in the USA comes with a CCS Type 1 charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 11 kW, resulting in approximately 34 miles of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 207 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.

Use EV Charging Calculator to estimate charging time, rate, and cost.

How big is it? What are the dimensions (length, width, height)?

The size and weight specifications for BMW i4 xDrive40 (2024-…) are as follows:

Length: 188.3 in
Width: 81.6 in (including side mirrors) or #WIDTH_WO_MIRRORS_VALUE# in (excluding side mirrors)
Height: 57 in
Wheelbase: 112.4 in (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
Curb weight: 4982 lbs (weight of the empty car, no people or cargo)
