THIS IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THE NEW BMW I4 EDRIVE 35

EV Channels Review

This review pits the new BMW i4 eDrive 35 against the BYD Seal Excellence, highlighting the Seal's significant advantages in price, battery size, range, and performance. The reviewer notes the BMW's premium badge appeal and superior driving dynamics, describing its steering and chassis response as more connected and 'mechanical,' offering a true driver's car experience. However, the i4 eDrive 35 is criticized for its higher price point, smaller battery, and less accommodating rear seating compared to the BYD. The BYD Seal Excellence is praised for its sharp styling, spacious interior, impressive equipment levels as standard, and significantly lower cost, making it a compelling value proposition. While the Seal's ride is firmer and its driving engagement less refined than the BMW's, it offers a faster acceleration and a more practical package for everyday living, making it a strong contender that challenges the traditional allure of established brands.
