BMW i4
BMW’s compact electric sedan benefits from a few updates for 2025. The list includes cosmetic revisions, new colour options inside and out, new wheel designs and a more advanced infotainment system. There are no changes to the powertrain and battery, mind you. Available with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, the i4 offers various levels of power and performance, as well as 428-512 km of range. Competitors include the Hyundai Ioniq 6 and Tesla Model 3.
