EV Channels Review

In this twin-test, Electrifying.com pits the Tesla Model 3 against the new BMW i4. While acknowledging the Model 3's long-standing dominance and impressive sales figures, the review suggests the BMW i4 has finally met and potentially surpassed Tesla's benchmark. The i4 is praised for its conventional yet refined interior, superior practicality as a hatchback with a useful boot and towing capability, and most significantly, its exceptional driving dynamics, which are described as quintessentially BMW and superior to the Model 3's performance. Although the Model 3 excels in charging network access and is fractionally more efficient, the i4's overall package, including its more refined feel and driving experience, leads the reviewers to declare it the new benchmark EV, moving the game forward. The review highlights the i4's M Sport trim as a capable, lower-powered version that still offers strong performance and efficiency.
