The 2026 BMW i4 offers three main trim levels: the rear-wheel-drive eDrive40, the all-wheel-drive xDrive40, and the high-performance all-wheel-drive M60, providing different power and feature options for this electric Gran Coupe. The rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 delivers a balanced blend of performance and efficiency. Its single rear motor produces 335 horsepower (hp) and 317 lb-ft of torque, offering a maximum all-electric range of 333 miles. When using a high-powered DC fast charger, it can add up to 108 miles of range in just 10 minutes. Opting for enhanced traction and power, the all-wheel-drive models (xDrive40 and performance-oriented M60 trims) are equipped with a dual-motor system (front and rear) that unleashes a combined 593 horsepower and 586 lb.-ft of torque. While delivering exhilarating power, these variants offer a maximum all-electric range of up to 278 miles. Utilizing DC fast charging technology, these all-wheel-drive i4 models can quickly replenish their battery, adding approximately 90 to 105 miles of range in a brief 10-minute session. In addition, for convenient charging at home or on the road, the 2026 BMW i4 comes standard with the BMW Flexible Fast Charger. This versatile, portable kit includes interchangeable adapters that support both Level 1 (120V) and Level 2 (240V) outlets, ensuring you can power up your vehicle wherever a standard or high-voltage socket is available. Standard features for the 2026 BMW i4's eDrive40 (RWD) and xDrive40 (AWD) models are comprehensive and designed for both convenience and performance. Key exterior elements include 18-inch aluminum wheels, a power liftgate, and full LED lighting (headlights, daytime running lights, and brake lights). The vehicle also features regenerative braking with one-pedal driving and cruise control. Inside, occupants benefit from sport bucket front seats, automatic dual-zone climate control, and a 10-speaker sound system with FM satellite radio. The advanced infotainment system is anchored by a large 14.9-inch touchscreen with integrated navigation and voice activation, as well as wireless phone connectivity compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, all supported by four USB ports. The i4 M60 stands as the high-performance flagship of the i4 lineup, elevating the driving experience with a range of exclusive enhancements. Distinguishing itself from the eDrive40 and xDrive40 trims, the M60 variant incorporates a host of performance, aesthetic, and luxury features not found on the standard models. These include performance-oriented components such as M sport brakes and adaptive M suspension, alongside aesthetic upgrades like 19-inch machined aluminum wheels, a leatherette-upholstered dashboard, and the distinctive badging and design elements characteristic of BMW M vehicles. Further enhancing functionality and style, the M60 also features directionally adaptive headlights. Standard safety features across the lineup include a robust suite of protective technologies designed to enhance driver awareness and prevent accidents. This comprehensive lineup includes front and rear parking sensors alongside advanced mitigation systems for both forward and rear collisions. To maintain situational awareness, the i4 features active lane departure and blind spot warnings, complemented by a driver attention alert and a traffic sign information system. Pedestrian detection warnings further bolster safety in urban environments, ensuring a secure driving experience across all models in the range.
