Sporty performance wrapped into a body that offers high luxury and practicality.
The classic attributes for which BMW is renowned for have made a return, only now in a vehicle animated with electric power thanks to the arrival of the i4 here in Singapore.
The 335bhp BMW i4 opens up the opportunity for local emissions-free motoring into a sporty BMW body Available here currently is the i4 eDrive40. The Gran Coupe is available here packing a 335bhp output, alongside 430Nm of torque. And supplying charge for this power is an 83.9kWh battery (with a net capacity 80.7kWh).
WLTP range for the BMW i4 stands at a maximum of 590km, making this i4 the longest-ranged all-electric BMW to date. And of course, in classic BMW style, the i4 eDrive40 comes with rear-wheel drive. All these translate into a century sprint time of just 5.7 seconds for this i4 eDrive40.
You also expect fine handling in any BMW and the i4 won't disappoint. Aiding affairs here is a slim battery pack (with a height of only 110mm) positioned low in the car. This allows the i4 eDrive40 to realise a centre of gravity that is 53mm lower than that in the 3 Series Sedan.
A 12.3-inch information display and a 14.9-inch control display meet in the cabin as one combined element for an immersive drive experience A double-joint spring strut front axle and five-link rear axle with bespoke tuning, lift-related dampers, and the use of electromechanical Servotronic steering, alongside air suspension at the rear all are also guaranteed to aid handling performance.
And when you're tossing the car through the corners, there's also a nifty wheel slip limitation system that optimises traction and directional stability in all road and weather conditions.
Wrapping around this drivetrain and handling package is an exterior that is also now unmistakably BMW. The imposing kidney grille, popular on the 4 Series and BMW iX, is here closed off at its top section, flanked by slim head lights, and sporting the BMW i blue highlights that also run along the sides of the car and surround the BMW badges front and back. And at the rear, a gently sloping roofline meets a muscular waistline that hints at the power lurking within.
Sports seats wrapped in Vernasca leather come as standard in the BMW i4 eDrive40 This design flair has also been carried within the interior of the i4. You'll likely first notice that the car comes with BMW's curved display unit, which integrates both a 12.3-inch information display and a 14.9-inch control display. The entire screen is gently angled towards the driver for an immersive driving experience.
The system also runs BMW's latest Operating System 8, and comes with the firm's digital Intelligent Personal Assistant which has since gained additional skills and uses a new graphic to communicate with the vehicle's occupants. Boot space in the BMW i4 eDrive40 is 470 litres.
For those moments when you'd prefer a quiet, uneventful drive home after work, the cabin in the i4 is also equipped with acoustic glazing and climate pre-conditioning, so high levels of comfort are always assured.
Charging the BMW i4 eDrive40 can be done at speeds of up to 205kW via a direct current source. At this speed, the range of the i4 can be increased by as much as 164km within 10 minutes, should you start charging from a battery capacity of 10%. Charging via alternating current meanwhile, can be done at speeds of up to 11kW.
