The BMW i4, BMW’s best-selling all-electric mannequin within the U.S. has been barely refreshed for the 2025 mannequin yr.
Regardless of no main adjustments on the battery and powertrain aspect, the most recent BMW i4 will get extra vary than within the earlier mannequin yr. Sure configurations of the i4 can now go as much as 318 miles.
BMW i4 is BMW’s prime EV mannequin
Through the second quarter of 2024, BMW bought 7,066 i4 within the U.S., which is half of the overall 14,081 EV items. It signifies that the mannequin outsells the opposite three (i5, i7 and iX) mixed. The brand new 2025 BMW i4 entered manufacturing this month.
There are at the moment 4 variations of the BMW i4 available on the market within the U.S.—the entry-level, rear-wheel-drive i4 eDrive35, the common rear-wheel-drive i4 eDrive40, the all-wheel-drive i4 xDrive40 and performance-oriented i4 M50 xDrive. The 2025 mannequin yr is accessible for order in i4 eDrive40, i4 xDrive40 and i4 M50 xDrive guise. We have not heard for certain when or if BMW will supply a 2025 i4 eDrive35.
i4 eDrive40 vary up, i4 xDrive40 vary down
The 2025 i4 presents extra most driving vary than the 2024 i4. In keeping with the producer, the i4 eDrive40 with normal 18-inch wheels could have as much as 318 miles of EPA vary—17 miles or 5.6% greater than beforehand. That is a brand new report for the mannequin. With the non-obligatory 19-inch wheels, vary grows 12 miles or 4.2% over the 2024 i4—from 283 to 295 miles.
Nonetheless, once we check out the all-wheel drive i4 xDrive40, the vary decreases by just a few p.c. The 2025 mannequin model is estimated at 287 miles, down by 20 miles or 6.5% from 307 miles beforehand.

The highest-of-the-line additionally acquired a marginal vary adjustment. The bottom i4 M50 xDrive has 267 miles of vary, two lower than earlier than. There isn’t a change for fashions with 20-inch wheels and efficiency tires, which lower the vary to 227 miles.
We assume that the older 2024 variations will quickly disappear from the BMW web site, and the producer will introduce the brand new entry-level i4 eDrive35 model.
The present eDrive35 has a smaller 68.7-kilowatt-hour battery, in comparison with 81-kWh within the different variations.
