The 2026 BMW i4 lands with gains where they matter: distance between charges and real-world pace. Fresh silicon carbide inverters boost efficiency, pushing the eDrive40 beyond the 300-mile marker regardless of wheel choice—an estimated 333 miles on 18-inch rims and 307 miles on 19s—without altering the 83.4 kWh battery or the car’s familiar chassis tune.
There’s a reshuffle at the sharp end, too. The i4 M50 bows out, replaced by the i4 M60 with dual motors delivering up to 593 hp. BMW quotes 0–60 mph in 3.6 seconds, yet the car also stretches a little farther than before: roughly 11 extra miles on 19-inch wheels and five more on 20s. It’s a neat demonstration of how smarter power electronics can add both shove and stamina.
Outputs for the non-M versions hold steady at 335 hp for the rear-drive eDrive40 and 396 hp for the xDrive40, though the all-wheel-drive model’s range estimate now sits between 268 and 287 miles, down from the previous 282–307 window depending on wheel size. Peak DC charging remains 200 kW; on a suitably powerful charger, BMW says you can add about 88–108 miles in ten minutes, making long legs less of a planning exercise.
Detail updates clean up the day-to-day brief. A tyre repair kit is now standard across the range, while the Drive Recorder feature joins the Parking Assistant Professional package. With orders open in the United States following the earlier European reveal, the 2026 i4 reads like a careful evolution: keener efficiency for the entry car, stronger performance at the top, and charging capability that stays reassuringly straightforward.
