ABOUT THE 2022 BMW I4 EDRIVE40 GRAN COUPE (18 INCH WHEELS)
The 2022 BMW i4 eDrive40 Gran Coupe is the rear-wheel-drive version of BMW’s first electric four-door Gran Coupe (G26), launched for the 2022 model year. A single rear-mounted electric motor produces 335 hp and 317 lb-ft, driving the rear wheels through a single-speed transmission. This entry covers the car on 18-inch wheels, which carries an EPA-rated range of 301 miles (484 km).
A new electric BMW
The i4 shares its body and much of its structure with the petrol 4 Series Gran Coupe, which means a familiar shape with a practical hatchback-style tailgate. It is built in Munich alongside the combustion models. At launch the range consisted of the eDrive40 and the dual-motor i4 M50, with the eDrive40 aimed at buyers prioritising range over outright pace.
Range and wheel size
Wheel and tyre size noticeably affects electric range. The 18-inch wheels on this version are the most efficient option, which is why this configuration has the highest EPA figure among 2022 i4 models; larger optional wheels reduce the rated range. The battery sits low in the floor, keeping the centre of gravity down and helping the i4 feel composed through corners.
Practicality
The i4 seats five, and its liftback tailgate opens to a usable boot that expands when the rear seats are folded. The cabin uses BMW’s curved display, combining a digital instrument cluster and central touchscreen, running iDrive 8.
