2022 BMW i4 Electric Sedan To Debut In India On April 28th

The 2022 BMW i4 electric sedan is all set to be revealed in India on April 28th this year, ahead of its launch expected in May. Competing against the Tesla Model 3, Audi e-Tron GT and Porsche Taycan globally, the i4 is BMW’s first-ever all-electric sedan. It made its first global debut in 2021 and will now be coming to storm the Indian markets in April 2022. This would be the third BMW electric car model in India after its iX SUV and MINI Cooper SE. 

The 2022 BMW i4 is a four-door sedan with an overall length of 4738mm, 1852mm and a height of 1488mm. It is reportedly based on the same platform as the current 4-Series Gran Coupe four-door. From its front, it sports a closed-off octagonal kidney-shaped front grille, slender LED headlights, blue accents, a chromed window line, a forward bending bonnet, restyled wheel design, and a sloping roof giving it a coupe-like overall body look.
