The 2026 BMW i4 is a battery-electric sedan with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the G26 generation. The M50 is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured M50 version develops 544 hp and 795 Nm (586 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 3.9 seconds, which is seriously quick. Top speed is listed at 225 km/h (140 mph). Its power output is about 9% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 17% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 83.9 kWh. The recorded electric range is 510 km (317 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 18.0 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 205 kW. Its listed range is about 13% below the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,783 mm (188.3 in) in length, 1,852 mm (72.9 in) in width, and 1,448 mm (57.0 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,856 mm (112.4 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 470 litres (16.6 cu ft), expanding to 1,290 litres (45.6 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 2,215 kg (4,883 lb). That cargo volume is close to the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of eDrive40, M50, and M50 xDrive. Across the range, the specifications span 340 hp to 544 hp, 3.9 s to 5.6 s, and 510 km to 600 km, while listed starting prices run from $53,900-$67,300. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric sedan models from the same period, the 2026 BMW i4 is strongest on acceleration and price, while range stands out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
