April 14 2025,
The 2025 BMW i4 and i5 are making waves in the market for electric luxury sedans, but each does so in a unique way. BMW’s most recent lineup provides two daring answers to the same question: What does premium electric truly feel like—regardless of your preference for elegant comfort or sleek performance?
Power That Pulls You In
Both models pack a powerful punch, but they have different personalities. The i4 eDrive35 is a true driver's car, with athletic acceleration thanks to its 281 horsepower. When you switch to the i5 eDrive40, you'll be greeted with 335 horsepower, providing a more powerful, seamless energy boost.

Range That Fits Your Drive
If you're concerned about range, both sedans have impressive numbers. With a range of up to 444 km, the i4 is perfect for both weekend getaways and daily commutes. With a 475 km range, the i5 gives you even more freedom on longer trips, extending the experience further.
Looks That Make a Statement
Both sedans follow BMW’s signature design language, but each wears it differently. The i4’s Gran Coupe silhouette leans sporty and modern, perfect for those who like a low-slung, aggressive stance. Meanwhile, the i5’s sedan profile is more elongated and upscale, creating a bold presence on any road.
Cabin Vibes: Sport Meets Sophistication
Inside, the vibe continues to impress. The i4 is all about driving focus with a driver-centric layout and sharp tech interface. On the other hand, the i5 wraps you in a more plush experience, with extra rear legroom and ambient features that dial up the refinement for passengers and drivers alike.
Handling That Matches Your Mood
When it comes to ride feel, the i4 is a bit more dynamic. It’s lower and tighter, making corners more exciting with athletic handling that responds instantly. The i5 stays calm and composed with a more balanced suspension, offering a serene, stable ride that’s hard to beat for long hauls.
Tech That Works With You
Tech lovers are covered in both models. The i4 features the BMW Curved Display with crisp visuals and intuitive controls. In the i5, the same tech gets even more advanced with Remote Smart Parking, Highway Drive Assist, and an optional panoramic roof that opens the cabin to natural light.
So, Which BMW EV is More You?
The i4 speaks to the enthusiast who craves style, sportiness, and a direct connection to the road. The i5, meanwhile, is tailored to those who want comfort, elegance, and a few more luxury touches wrapped in an electric performance. Either way, you're not compromising—you’re choosing a different kind of luxury.
