An electric take on the sports sedan

Electrify your daily commute in one of the four 2024 BMW i4 trim levels, each offering good range, excellent power, and a comfortable interior with a touch of refinement. The 2024 BMW i4 is available in eDrive RWD or xDrive AWD configurations. Plus, horsepower ranges from 282 in the eDrive35 to 469 in the i4 M50. Inside, the 2024 BMW i4 rides quietly and composedly, absorbing most of the noise and bumps from the passenger cabin. As with most EVs, the electric drivetrain in a 2024 BMW i4 runs almost silently, and instant torque delivers snappy acceleration.

5 reasons to buy the 2024 BMW i4

1. A welcoming and comfortable interior 

An airy and roomy passenger cabin greets everyone who enters a 2024 BMW i4. Power-adjustable seats and firm, supportive cushioning ease the strain from long drives. Or, enjoy the smooth ride from the available adaptive suspension (standard on M50 trim), which eats up unwelcome bumps and jolts from the road. Lastly, standard heated front seats take the edge off a cold day, while the electric heat pump starts warming the interior quickly after starting. 

2. Single or dual-motor performance 

New for the 2024 BMW i4 is the xDrive40 trim, which uses electric motors to power all four wheels. BMW’s xDrive system uses intelligent traction management to keep power going to the wheels with the most traction or to boost grip in sharp turns. The result is confident traction regardless of the road conditions. On the other hand, the 2024 BMW i4 eDrive35 (282 hp) and eDrive40 (335 hp) trim levels are powered by a single electric motor, sending power to the rear wheels through a single-speed transmission. 

3. Plenty of standard features 

Well-equipped from the start, enjoy essential and some nice-to-have features in the 2024 BMW i4. For example, enjoy features like a power liftgate, sunroof, synthetic leather seating, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration. Plus, your smartphone connects and charges to the 2024 BMW i4 wirelessly. Finally, the massive 14.9-inch center touchscreen sits at the heart of the standard infotainment system. 

4. Get the most out of a charge 

Even though the 2024 BMW i4 xDrive40 has double motors, it gets the best EPA-estimated range in the 2024 BMW i4 lineup at 307 miles from a full charge.

Or, the base model 2024 BMW i4 eDrive35 single-motor is suitable for an EPA-estimated range of 276 miles from a full charge.
Even the performance M50 with 19-inch wheels does well, with an EPA-estimated range of 269 miles with a full charge.

5. M-level sports tuning 

Add excitement to your daily drive with the performance-focused 2024 BMW i4 M50 trim. For example, the M50 trim boasts almost 500 horsepower from two motors and acceleration that holds you in your seat. Outside, there are aggressive styling flares, M-Sport performance brakes, and an M Carbon exterior package. But the 2024 BMW i4 M50 doesn’t just look the part, it'll zoom from zero to 60 in a blistering 3.7 seconds (when new, manufacturer testing).
