"BMW’s first all-electric hatchback has to be a car to be remembered for ages. Of course, the 2022 BMW i4 eDrive40 lives up to that test. Not only does it come with the familiar BMW look we all love seeing, the car drives like a true heir of the BMW racing legacy. Keeping what is considered tradition in the line, the i4 is a rear-wheel drive car propelled by an electric engine capable of putting in 335 bhp and sparking a 0 – 100 km/h time of 4.07 seconds. Even though this is considered BMW’s entry level EV, it does not shy away from the speed and precision we are used to seeing from the Bavarian manufacturer."—Official description[1]
