Overview
The i4 proves that electric doesn't have to mean boring. Built on the 4 Series Gran Coupe platform, it retains BMW's signature driving dynamics while adding the instant torque of electric propulsion. The M50 variant with 536 horsepower is a legitimate performance car that happens to be electric. At up to 301 miles of range, it covers most driving needs, though Hyundai's 800V architecture charges faster.
