THE BEST ELECTRIC SEDAN SO FAR? BMW I4 RWD 2022 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The BMW i4 eDrive40 (2022) is presented as a compelling electric alternative to traditional combustion engine sedans, particularly the 3 Series and 4 Series. The reviewer praises its classic BMW driving dynamics, highlighting superior ride and handling compared to the Tesla Model 3, with excellent composure and minimal body lean, especially in the rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 variant. The interior is lauded for its conventional BMW feel, high material quality, and advanced infotainment system, though rear-seat legroom is compromised by the battery pack. Real-world range is impressive, exceeding 500km with conservative driving, and the charging capabilities are noted as strong. While the steering lacks some feedback, the overall driving experience is described as pure, adjustable, and enjoyable, making it a strong contender for those transitioning to EVs or seeking refuge from volatile petrol prices. The reviewer concludes that this RWD i4 is a "purist's car" and a "driver's BMW" that successfully converts buyers from their petrol counterparts.
