With a low coefficient of drag, snazzy wheels and a promising profile, BMW marries the brand values of performance with the future of mobility in its i4 eDrive40 Grand Coupe .
Speed is instantly available in an EV, and with its managed delivery, the i4GC achieved the 0-100kmh sprint in 5.7 seconds. And even with the accompaniment of Hans Zimmer’s soundtrack, it still pales in comparison to a V8 engine firing all cylinders and growling in anticipation. Still a road trip up north would be possible with golf bags and luggage, and a range of 590km. You’re able to have a good run without requiring too many refuelling stops. Range anxiety is likely to be a thing of the past, and with enough charging points en route, you should be able to quietly whisk yourself to your destination.
For a relatively low car with rear air suspension, there’s a lot of gentle rocking you’d expect from an SUV, instead. And as you push it into a sharp manoeuvre, there’s some understeer that you have to deal with.
