New 2022 BMW i4
Overview
BMW is no stranger to electrified models (see the funky little i3 and wildly styled i8 for proof), and the 2022 i4 sedan further bolsters the brand's EV portfolio. Based on the Bavarian automaker's most famous model, the 3-series, the i4 is a low-slung four-door in the vein of the similarly sized 4-series Gran Coupe. It competes with the Polestar 2 and Tesla Model 3, among others. The eDrive40 model features a single rear-mounted electric motor making 335 horsepower, and the M50 adds a motor up front that helps generate 536 total horses. Both feature an 80.7-kWh battery pack, but while the rear-drive version boasts an estimated driving range of around 300 miles, the all-wheel-drive i4 offers 245 miles of range.
What's New for 2022?
The BMW i4 is an all-new electric sedan that is expected to compete against the Tesla Model 3 and other mid-size EV sedans when it finally hits showrooms in early to mid-2022.
While the German automaker has revealed starting prices for the eDrive40 and the higher-performance M50, we're still waiting to hear the full list of standard and optional features. Once that information is made available, we can recommend which i4 to buy and how to outfit it.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The 2022 i4 feeds electrons to either one or two electric motors, depending on the model. The eDrive40 features a single motor on the rear axle that makes 335 horsepower. The M50 has an electric motor on both axles, which together provide all-wheel drive and produce 536 horsepower and 586 pound-feet. The increase in power provides a decrease in acceleration times, with zero to 60 mph allegedly arriving in 3.7 seconds. The rear-drive i4 rolls on a standard set of 18-inch rims; 19-inchers are optional. Conversely, the all-wheel-drive M50 is fitted with either 19s or 20s, and it has adaptive dampers and a variable-ratio steering system. The i4 M50 that we drove delivered immediate and forceful thrust, and even though it weighs considerably more than an M3, its lower center of gravity helps it move assuredly and gracefully.
