BMW has launched its i4 electric sedan in India at ₹ 69.90 lakh (ex-showroom, India), making it sit below the flagship iX electric SUV. Along with being an all-electric equivalent of the regular 4 Series Gran Coupe, the i4 is the brand’s second EV offering in India and will be brought in via the CBU route.
Similar to the iX, the i4 is based on the CLAR architecture with the 83.9 kWh battery pack mounted on the floor. This powers the rear axle-mounted electric motor that produces 340hp and 430Nm, allowing the i4 to accelerate from 0-100kph in a claimed 5.7 seconds and reach an electronically limited top speed of 190kph. BMW claims that the i4 can charge at rates of up to 205kW, which can add 164km of range in just 10 minutes.
Globally, the i4 is available in a higher-spec M50 xDrive variant that gets all-wheel drive, produces 544hp and 795Nm of peak torque and sprint from 0-100kph in 3.9sec. This version has a WLTP-claimed driving range of up to 510km.
