Overview

BMW is no stranger to electrified models (see the funky little i3 and wildly styled i8 for proof), and the 2022 i4 sedan looks to further bolster the brand's EV portfolio. Based on Bimmer's most famous model, the 3-series, the upcoming i4 is a low-slung four-door that's expected to compete with rivals such as the Tesla Model 3 and the Audi e-tron GT. While full details are still forthcoming, we do know the BMW EV will have a 530-hp electric motor and an 80.0-kWh battery pack. BMW claims that the i4 will boast a driving range of 300 miles as well as a full complement of high-tech equipment when it goes on sale sometime in 2021.

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 2021.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The 2022 i4 will feed electrons to an electric motor that is expected to make 530 horsepower. BMW has said the sedan's battery-pack capacity will be approximately 80.0-kWh. Likewise, the company says the all-electric four-door will accelerate from zero to 62 mph in four seconds flat. We think that's conservative since we tested a Model 3 that whirred to 60 mph in 3.5 ticks despite having almost 80 fewer ponies. We also expect the i4 to offer both rear- and all-wheel drive, which will ultimately produce different zero-to-60-mph times.
