Video Summary
Here's a summary of the BMW i4 review:- The I4 is BMW's first pure electric four-door car; it's a fastback.
- This model reviewed is the "LCI" (Life Cycle Impulse) or facelifted version.
- Changes for the facelift are the new bumper design and headlights, front grills' new pattern, and new wheel design.
- The shape of the I4 Gran Coupe is liked. It has frameless windows for that coupe feel.
- Interior features include USB-C charging ports and rear air vents; it runs BMW OS9. There are hard plastics in the interior, but the build is solid. There is a new steering wheel with a flat bottom. The new OS system is snappy in this car.
- Rear passenger space is decent, but legs are high; head room is surprisingly good.
- It has 470L of space in the trunk and 1290L when rear seats are down.
- There is no head-up display, and no 360-degree monitor. The Air Con vents are poorly designed.
- The single motor rear wheel drive has 286 horsepower and does zero to 100 km/h in 6 seconds and 400 Nm torque.
- Claimed range is 406-500 km with a 67.1 kWh battery, but stick to charging up to 80%. DC fast-charging (180 kW) takes 32 min to go from 10% to 80%. Charging with 11 kW AC takes around 7 hours to go from 0 to 100%.
- This EV makes a noise during acceleration and has M-Sport suspension, so the driver feels bumps on the road.
- For Singapore, eDrive35 is the pick of the bunch because of road tax. eDrive35 costs S$2,148 a year for Road Tax.
- Overall, it is liked for its looks and fun driving.
