BMW has launched two impressive fully electric vehicles: the BMW i4 four-door coupe and the BMW iX SUV. Both models offer an exhilarating driving experience, cutting-edge technology, and zero emissions. So how do you decide between the BMW i4 and BMW iX? Here's a comparison of these electric BMWs to help you choose the right one for your needs.
BMW i4 Overview
The BMW i4 is an electric four-door Gran Coupe that combines the sleek styling of a coupe with the practicality of a sedan. It's available in two models: the BMW i4 eDrive40 and the high-performance BMW i4 M50. With its low center of gravity, near 50:50 weight distribution, and fine-tuned suspension, the BMW i4 delivers the sporty handling BMW is known for. Drivers in Santa Monica will appreciate this model’s agile dynamics and responsive acceleration as they cruise along the Pacific Coast Highway.
BMW iX Overview
If you prefer the spaciousness and versatility of an SUV, the BMW iX is sure to impress. This midsize electric Sports Activity Vehicle has room for five adults to stretch out comfortably. The BMW iX comes in two powerful variants, the BMW iX xDrive50 and BMW iX M60, both with dual electric motors and all-wheel drive. With its bold, modern design and elevated seating position, the BMW iX makes a striking statement on the streets of Santa Monica.
Charging and Range
When it comes to charging, both the BMW i4 and BMW iX support DC fast charging up to 200 kilowatts, allowing you to recharge from 10-80% in as little as 31 minutes. The BMW i4 eDrive40 has an EPA-estimated range of 301 miles, while the BMW iX xDrive50 can travel an estimated 324 miles on a full charge. This means less time plugged in and more time enjoying the scenic drives around Santa Monica and beyond.
Performance
The BMW i4 M50 produces up to 536 horsepower and can accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds. The BMW iX M60 is even more powerful, generating 610 horsepower and sprinting from 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. Both models provide the instant torque and smooth, quiet ride of an electric drivetrain, along with precise handling thanks to their low center of gravity. Whether you choose the nimble BMW i4 or commanding BMW iX, you'll experience the exciting performance of BMW's electric vehicles.
Interior and Technology
Inside the BMW i4 and BMW iX, you'll find premium materials, intuitive technology, and a suite of advanced driver assistance features.
