Overview
BMW i4 eDrive40 2021 overview
BMW i4 eDrive40 2021 comes as an electric liftback with RWD and seating for 5. Range is more modest for the class: 491 km - 589 km, below the class median of 527 km.
On the BEVDB model, range is around 310 km on cold highway legs and up to ~621 km in mild city driving. Battery: 80.7 kWh usable (83.9 kWh nominal).
Charging includes AC charging up to 11 kW (Type 2); DC fast charging up to 207 kW (CCS Combo 2). On a DC fast charger, it adds ~196 km in 10 min; Cargo volume is 470 L.
Class comparison
Compared with 66 other liftbacks, BMW i4 eDrive40 2021 leans toward shorter range and acceleration near the median. WLTP range is below the class median; 491 km vs 527 km; 36 km lower, -7%. 0–100 km/h is close to the class median; 5.7 s vs 5.45 s.

Real range estimates The values shown here are estimates calculated by BEV-Database using WLTP data and the usable battery capacity of the car. Mild weather represents driving in roughly +20 +25 C without heavy use of climate control, while Cold weather reflects winter conditions with cabin heating. Highway assumes steady cruising at about 110 km/h. These figures are not official test results. Real-world range will vary depending on speed, temperature, traffic, road profile, payload, tyres and driving style.
BEVDB estimates use WLTP-rated (or derived) consumption and usable battery capacity to model city/highway ranges; the combined value averages the four scenarios.
Reminder: Range and energy consumption figures are estimates. Actual results may vary depending on weather, driving style, terrain, and other conditions.
