Like the i4 M50 launched earlier this year, the i4 eDrive35 has a 4-door Gran Coupe bodystyle which maintains BMW cues while also showing progressiveness towards new design language for the electric era.

The shape, refined in a wind tunnel, is energy efficient with its low coefficient of drag of 0.24 Cd, vital for an electric car.

The familiar kidney grille design with horizontal slats is flanked by sleek LED headlights. Unique to i4 eDrive35 variant is a sleek aluminium satin lining along its sides to enhance the dynamic and sporty appearance.

Both variants ride on 18-inch alloy wheels, with the M Sport variant having an aerodynamic design.

The cockpit has the latest BMW iDrive infotainment system running on BMW Operating System 8, as well as the BMW Curved Display. The open and luxurious interior ambience is enhanced by premium materials and thoughtful design.

210 kW/400 Nm to rear wheels
The i4 eDrive35 has a single motor to drive the rear wheels. The motor generates 210 kW (286 ps)/400 Nm which can propel the car from 0 to 100 km/h in a claimed 6 seconds. Travelling range with a fully charged battery pack is up to 430 kms.

The motor gets its energy from a 66 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that can be charged at up to 180 kW with 400V architecture. With a DC fast-charger, the battery can be filled from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes. Using AC charging (up to 11 kW), the time from 0% to 100% is said to be about 7.25 hrs.
