BMW is fashionably late to the EV party but that hasn't put it at a disadvantage. Hindsight is foresight in the car world and the Munich-based luxury brand has the benefit of learning from the past mistakes of others. The biggest one? Entering when the market is not yet ripe for the picking, which is what rivals Mercedes and Jaguar did. And BMW is all set to cash in on the now-growing trend, largely driven by other global brands. In December 2021, BMW kicked off its EV innings with the launch of the iX. Now, less than a year later, comes the far more affordable i4.
The i4 isn't 'born electric', a new term for EVS designed, ground up, for electrification only. It is the all-electric derivative of the 4 Series Gran Coupé with which we are not familiar because it's not sold in India. So, the styling will be fresh and the coupé-like body style the first on an EV in India. So, unique the i4 certainly is. But before we get to the styling, let's look at the power train. There's only one power train option, the lower eDrive40 variant, which has sufficient grunt to keep you smiling.
