Featuring a rear-wheel drive layout, the BMW i4 combines a progressive design with superior aerodynamics, electrifying dynamic performance and comfort. Its current-excited synchronous motor generates a maximum output of 340 hp and 430 Nm of torque. This allows for a century sprint time of just 5.7 seconds.
Outstanding efficiency ensures not just sustainable, carbon-neutral driving on the daily, but also an electric range that can effortlessly endure long journeys (590 km based on the WLTP cycle). In between drives, the 5th-generation BMW eDrive system is compatible with the latest charging technology. Its Combined Charging Unit (CCU) with built-in 4 kW voltage transformer has been designed to enable extremely flexible battery charging i.e. compatible with a domestic power socket or a BMW i Wallbox (an 11 kW AC charger fully charges the vehicle in just 8 hours 15 minutes), as well as DC fast chargers (a 200 kW DC charger charges the vehicle from 10% to 80% in just 31 minutes).
Safety systems include Acoustic Protection for Pedestrians, Active Protection for Pedestrians, Driving Assistant Professional, Parking Assistant Plus and Active Protection.
