BMW Readies i4, Its Answer to Tesla
Shown in concept form, the i4 electric boasts the range and the performance, but does it have the looks?
BMW's i4 concept is on the leading edge of 25 hybrid and electric models the automaker promises by 2023.
The i4 concept was meant to make its debut live at the Geneva auto show this week and is expected to go on sale as a production model in early 2021.
BMW claims 372 miles of range on the European WLTP cycle—but an EPA estimate of 270 miles, and estimates a zero-to-60-mph time of around 4.0 seconds.
BMW's foray into electrification has not had Tesla-like success. The brand's "i" cars, built to introduce electrification to dedicated platforms, haven't sold well. The oddball i3 and the gorgeous three-cylinder-powered i8 are perhaps best thought of as carbon-fiber trial balloons. BMW isn't giving up on electrics, though, and promises 25 electrified models (hybrids and pure electrics) by 2023. This i4 concept, which should go on sale early next year, is a look at BMW's much-needed answer to Tesla's sedans.
Technically, the i4 is a concept. But the lightly disguised version is merely missing the paint, head and taillights, and interior of the production i4 that is due sometime next year. The concept has pleasing long-hood proportions, but the design is characterized by its soft, flowing shape, and pinched roofline that borrows from the recently introduced 2-series Gran Coupe playbook. It looks a bit dull after you see what Audi has done with the e-tron GT concept.
