I4 VS MODEL 3 VS POLESTAR 2 - THE REVIEW THAT DIDN'T GO QUITE AS PLANNED - PT 2

EV Channels Review

This comprehensive review pits the BMW i4 eDrive 40 against the Tesla Model 3 Long Range and Polestar 2. While the BMW i4 is praised for its excellent chassis dynamics, good range, impressive build quality, and performance that feels stronger than its numbers suggest, its styling is deemed fussy, packaging is compromised by its ICE-derived platform, and it emerges as the most expensive option. The Tesla Model 3 impresses with its range, charging capabilities, performance, minimalist interior, and ease of use, but is let down by dull styling, a less composed chassis compared to its rivals, and questionable material quality. The Polestar 2 stands out with its striking styling, high-quality interior, and user-friendly technology, though its ride is noted as firm, range and charging speeds lag behind, and damper adjustability is manual. Ultimately, the Polestar 2 is recommended as the best all-rounder, followed by the BMW i4, with the Tesla Model 3 rounding out the comparison.
