BMW has created a 4 Series sedan: critics are impressed

In a desperate attempt to separate the electric car line from traditional cars, most automakers are deviating from the established norms. However, the BMWi4 eDrive35 Gran Coupe has impressed even critics.

Despite some nuances, such as depreciation, experts emphasize that BMW has created a reliable, high-quality and functional electric car. The main characteristics of the BMWi4 eDrive35 Gran Coupe were described by Motor1.

BMW i4 eDrive35 Gran Coupe brief specifications

• Battery: 68.7 kilowatt-hours;
• Power: 282 horsepower;
• Acceleration to 100 km/h: approximately 5.8 seconds;
• EV range: 405 km.

Just like every other 3 Series, the i4 GC offers excellent handling and stylish design. The electric car follows the proportions of a classic BMW sedan. Some experts say that the large, serrated grille is inappropriate.

The interior is particularly refined, offering ample headroom, a large and functional trunk, and plenty of luxury and technology.

The car has an 81.5-kilowatt lithium-ion battery that powers a single rear engine that produces 282 horsepower.

The predicted range is 405 km. These are not the best range or efficiency figures in the industry, but they were sufficient for the average family's needs.

BMW plays some simulated transmission noise through the i4 GC's internal speakers. The transmission of the BMW electric vehicle offers a traditional two-pedal driving procedure as well as single-pedal driving. The latter option is crisp and well calibrated, with an instant transition to braking.

Experts also pay attention to the damping - it would be great if it were a little softer. Nevertheless, Sport offers the most sensitive calibration of each major chassis and transmission system, turning the i4 GC into a true sports sedan.

With a base price of $52,200, this eDrive35 trim offers the best value in the i4 lineup.

This makes the i4 eDrive 35 an impactful competitor to engine-driven sedans, hybrids, and electric vehicles. Gas-powered competitors are slower and hybrid cars are twice as big.

Thus, the new BMW combines style with functionality.
