The BMW i4 Electric Vehicle

The Latest Tech Enhancements in the BMW i4

Electric-powered cars use well-researched technology in their engineering, and BMW has gone a step further. Every aspect of this 2022 LEV is imbued with the latest tech enhancements, offering a futuristic experience with the same classic comforts you’ve come to expect from BMW.

A Distinctively Refined Cabin — The cabin is lush and detailed with available light-dark color contrast schemes that are characteristically BMW. Materials are durable and long-lasting and, depending on the upholstery you select, temperature-resistant surfaces stay comfortable year-round. The i4 also seats up to 5 passengers with plenty of leg and neck room. Storage compartments are generous in capacity, but thanks to the i4’s smart cabin design, they aren’t bulky.

Advanced Connectivity and Safety — The i4 will also contain BMW’s brand-new, reinvented infotainment system, iDrive 8. It’s faster and more intuitive than ever, plus the 14.9-inch touchscreen is wider than most handheld smart tablets. It sits perfectly on the center console and is integrated with the digital 12.3-inch instrument panel right behind the steering wheel. You can interact with these screens by touch, using the rotary button on the console, or via voice commands.

iDrive Leads the Way in Infotainment Tech — iDrive 8 is coming to several BMW models, but the i4 will be one of the first to feature it upon release. Of course, this new infotainment device offers all of the features you’d expect, including driver presets, hands-free calling, access to Apple and Android smartphone apps like Apple Podcasts, and a 5G mobile hotspot. Stay connected or even productive on the go thanks to the 2022 BMW i4’s quick internet connection.

The Latest and Greatest Safety Features — Safety technology is prominent in the 2022 i4 because, as thrilling as its driving performance may be, BMW always encourages safe driving. Features like forward collision warning and automated emergency braking are standard–and they’re fast enough to react before you do–while lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist also come built-in. For even more convenience while you drive, upgrade your safety suite to include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go technology. Your i4 will sense other vehicles and changes to the road conditions for safe, steady driving.

Sporty Performance You Won’t Believe — The new BMW i4 is just as thrilling to drive as its alluring, muscular, and compact shape would suggest. Its ultra-powerful electric motor sits directly above the rear axle, where it churns out 335 horsepower and enough accelerating energy to climb from 0 to 60 mpg in less than 6 seconds. Upgrade to the M50 engine for even more thrilling electric power, including horsepower ratings of 536 and an enormous 586 lb-ft of torque. Zoom from 0 to 60 in less than 4 seconds. That’s fast enough to make your passengers grip their armrest!

While other auto brands around the world offer as little as one electric vehicle with only one available engine, the BMW i4 has a standard eDrive40 edition alongside the superpowered M50. And this isn’t even the only electric car in the BMW family. Other performance features include an available adaptive damper system, fine-tuned suspension, and variable-ratio sport steering–all of which provide racetrack-ready agility and handling. Meanwhile, the brakes are firm and quick to react, even when you’re testing the i4’s speed limits.

The Perks of Going Electric with BMW

You sacrifice little when you make the switch to luxury electric driving–at least when you choose a vehicle as advanced as a BMW. The 2022 i4’s 81.5 kWh battery pack will carry enough energy to travel about 300 miles on a single charge. That’s enough for several hours of driving—no visits to the pump needed.

When it’s time to recharge, let the BMW Charging Program come to your aid. These solutions are ideal for travelers who want to embrace electric-powered impact without any inconveniences. Solutions include the BMW Wallbox, a rapid Level 2 charger that you can install in your garage or on your driveway.

Access public stations for charging on the go, or connect via the onboard Flexible Fast Charger. This handy charging cord connects from the appropriate port on your i4 to any 120V or 240V outlet–the kinds of outlets that you can find in just about any building or rest stop across the country. This Flexible Fat Charger can refill your battery to 100% in less than 9 hours.

Due to these charging times, many people prefer to charge at home overnight. Plug your i4 into the appropriate port and you’re all set to drive the next morning. It’s easy to fill up using renewable electric energy, and thanks to tax incentives and superior fuel economy ratings, you also save money when you do your part.
