i4 xDrive40

The BMW i4 xDrive40 is a 5-seat liftback with all-wheel drive, not sold in the UK, but on sale from €64,100 in Germany and €66,871 in the Netherlands. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.1 seconds, quicker than 71% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 308 miles (495 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 78% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 17th of 38 liftbacks.

It uses around 3.8 mi/kWh (164 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 81.3 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 130 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 350 miles (563 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand in Germany, a 2025 example is estimated at €36,500–€41,700, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 301 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
