The BMW i4 Gran Coupe arrived in 2024, marking the German marque’s serious entry into the electric four-door arena. But is it just another handsome face in the crowd, or does it bring something new and exciting to the table? Let’s buckle up and take a spin to find out.
First Impressions:
The i4 Gran Coupe stuns at first glance. Its sleek silhouette blends the practicality of a four-door with the dynamism of a coupe, all draped in a muscular stance. The signature kidney grille gets a closed-off electric makeover, while sharp headlights and aggressive air intakes hint at the performance lurking beneath. 18-inch alloy wheels and a sloping roofline complete the athletic look.
Stepping Inside:
The cabin is a masterclass in modern luxury. High-quality materials like Sensatec upholstery and brushed aluminum trim exude elegance. The curved display takes center stage, housing the BMW iDrive 8 system that controls everything from climate to navigation. A panoramic sunroof bathes the interior in natural light, while the head-up display keeps your eyes on the road.
Performance that Thrills:
BMW hasn’t forgotten about driving dynamics. The i4 eDrive40 packs 318 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, launching you from 0 to 60 mph in a brisk 5.7 seconds. The instant torque delivery of the electric motor provides exhilarating acceleration, pinning you to your seat with a satisfying surge. Sport mode sharpens the throttle response and tightens the steering, transforming the i4 into a corner-carving machine.
Range and Charging:
With an EPA-estimated range of 270 miles, the i4 eDrive40 offers decent everyday practicality. DC fast charging allows you to replenish the battery from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes, making road trips a breeze.
Tech Savvy:
The iDrive 8 system is a technological marvel. Its intuitive interface and gesture controls are a joy to use, while augmented reality navigation overlays directions onto the real world through the head-up display. A Harman Kardon sound system ensures your soundtrack is always on point.
