About the BMW i4 eDrive40

The BMW i4 eDrive40 is one of the standout electric grand tourers on the market, seamlessly blending sporty driving dynamics, exceptional range, and everyday practicality into a sleek fastback package. Designed to deliver the engaging driving experience BMW is known for while embracing zero-emission mobility, it offers a compelling alternative to traditional executive saloons and premium EV rivals alike.

Power comes from a rear-mounted electric motor producing 250 kW, delivering smooth and responsive performance through a rear-wheel-drive layout. This configuration provides the balanced handling characteristics often associated with BMW’s most engaging models, while the instant torque delivery of the electric drivetrain ensures effortless acceleration and refinement in every driving situation. Whether navigating city streets or covering long motorway distances, the i4 eDrive40 feels both composed and rewarding to drive.

At the heart of the vehicle is a substantial 81.3 kWh usable battery pack, providing impressive long-distance capability. With an official WLTP driving range of up to 373 miles, the i4 eDrive40 ranks among the longest-range premium electric vehicles available, making it particularly appealing to drivers who regularly undertake longer journeys. Real-world range will vary depending on driving style, weather conditions, vehicle specification, and route profile.

Charging performance complements its touring credentials. The i4 eDrive40 supports ultra-fast CCS DC rapid charging at up to 205 kW, enabling rapid energy replenishment when connected to compatible high-power charging infrastructure. This capability helps minimise charging stops and makes long-distance electric travel significantly more convenient.

Inside, the i4 eDrive40 combines BMW’s latest technology with premium comfort and impressive practicality. A sophisticated digital cockpit, advanced infotainment system, and comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features create a modern and connected driving environment. The practical hatchback design also provides excellent usability, with approximately 470 litres of luggage capacity available, making it suitable for everything from daily commuting to family holidays and business travel.

What truly distinguishes the BMW i4 eDrive40 is its ability to combine long-range efficiency with genuine driving enjoyment. It delivers the refinement expected from an executive EV while retaining the engaging rear-wheel-drive character that has long been a hallmark of BMW’s driver-focused models.
